Two picks and a long-term wish: Quinnen Williams wants Dallas to be home

The Cowboys didn't just add a defensive lineman. They gave up two high draft picks to do it — which is its own kind of statement about how much they wanted him.

Williams built his reputation with the New York Jets, becoming one of the more feared interior pass-rushers in the league. He was the kind of player who made offensive lines plan around him before the snap. Dallas saw that and decided it was worth trading real future assets to bring him in.

Now Williams is saying he wants to stay. After an acquisition that cost Dallas meaningful draft capital, hearing a player openly express that he sees a future here lands differently than the usual new-team pleasantries.

High picks are bets on futures that haven't been written yet. Williams is telling Dallas he'd like to write his here.
