Idea from the Miami Dolphins to Sign Injured Connor Williams for the Cowboys? A “Normal” Dallas TransitionFRISCO: Connor Williams was raised a literal football throw away from the Valley Ranch, the site of the former Dallas Cowboys headquarters. He is a native of Coppell. The 2018 second-round selection started his career in Dallas before making a big move to the Miami Dolphins in free agency. There, he honed his skills as a guard and center, where he established himself as an AFC star.

At just 26 years old, he’s in free agency and completely available, yet he’s not receiving any bites. Why? Only a few months have passed since the former Texas star’s ACL injury, which will likely prevent him from playing in 2024.

Include the upcoming NFL Draft in the total as well.

In a recent Miami radio interview, Williams’ agent Drew Rosenhaus acknowledged the lengthy rehabilitation process that lies ahead.

“I do think that we’re going to be very methodical and take our time relative to the contract,” Rosenhaus stated. “A lot of it could depend on Connor’s physical condition. He might not be a player who contracts with a team right away during free agency. He might require extra time depending on his physical condition.

It also makes sense that a team would try to find a deal here and hope for a Williams comeback. Indeed, Dallas has a history of making these kinds of wagers, particularly if they are “cost-effective” in what Cowboys COO Stephen Jones refers to as “an inflated market,” which is the early stages of NFL free agency.

It may take him a while to return to center field, but Connor Williams can be someone’s long-term solution there. Perhaps the Cowboys will think he was worth the wait.
