Report: Cowboys called New York Jets about Leonard Williams before trading for Michael Bennett

The Dallas Cowboys are on bye this week, bu that doesn’t mean that they haven’t been busy. The team traded for defensive end Michael Bennett earlier in the week, a move that will hopefully give them some more depth over the second half of the season.

There have been a handful of trades across the NFL, deadlines make deals after all, and so the Cowboys likely had options when shopping for a defensive lineman. It was a year ago that they traded for Amari Cooper and it seems as if they had eyes for another former first-round pick from the 2015 NFL Draft.
