Dallas Cowboys consider trading edge rusher Sam Williams ahead of camp
Summary

As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for training camp starting July 29, discussions have arisen about potential trades, particularly concerning edge rusher Sam Williams. Williams, a former second-round pick, could benefit from a move due to increasing competition on the roster following the addition of new talent. He has shown promise with 8.5 sacks in his first two seasons but has struggled with playing time. Analysts suggest teams like the Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers may be interested in acquiring him. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are also focusing on the backup running back position, with Jaydon Blue aiming to prove himself this summer after a stint out of favor last season.
