The Dallas Cowboys released veteran edge rusher Sam Williams, partly due to the signing of Von Miller. Williams, a second-round draft pick in 2022, played 17 games for Dallas in 2025 and started five games. He faced pressure to make the 53-man roster during training camp and responded by working harder, stating he used criticism to improve. Williams had his best season in 2023 with 26 tackles and 4.5 sacks but missed the 2024 season after injuries. It is unclear if he will find new opportunities elsewhere.
