Sam Williams, a star player, who was expected to have a bigger impact in his third year with them, suffered an injury during practice.
With him out of the picture for quite a while, the Dallas Cowboys are exploring their options to add another pass rusher to their defense.
This offseason hasn’t been fruitful for the Dallas Cowboys as they’ve lost defensive ends, Dorance Armstrong and Dante Fowler. Now, a pass rusher going down before the start of the season is a significant blow to the team. With this, the Cowboys need to fill the space behind defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence and linebacker Micah Parsons.
According to ESPN, the Cowboys are working out veteran pass rushers to replace Williams. They have Carl Lawson on their radar to replace the pass rusher. Current Cowboys defensive run game coordinator Paul Guenther and Lawson were together when they were with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2017.
He seems to be interested in joining the Cowboys as he has tweeted a star. He has not said it directly, but the star is the logo of the Dallas Cowboys.
The veteran athlete Lawson has 119 tackles, 28 of those for a loss, 27 sacks, three forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery in his career.
Most recently, he was with the New York Jets, playing 6 games for them in 2023. He had no starts and five combined tackles.
Defensive end Marshawn Kneeland could have a larger role in the team as they have a hole to fill.
