Dallas Cowboys veteran additions might push out DE Sam Williams

The Cowboys were praised for adding veteran edge rusher Von Miller to their roster on a one-year, $5.5M contract. But this move was likely the beginning of the end for Williams' time in Dallas. 

A second-round pick in 2022, Williams flashed potential as a depth piece on the edge, recording a total of 8.5 sacks in the first two years of his career. But after missing 2024 due to a torn ACL and MCL, his return to the field last season was quiet. Williams played 474 snaps, recording just one sack. 

Williams is competing with defensive ends who either have a special-teams role or a longer history as sack specialists. What does Williams bring to the table that the others don't?

QB Tanner McKee is fighting for more than positioning on Philadelphia Eagles' depth chart

Eagles general manager Howie Roseman brought in Andy Dalton for his fifteen years of experience to push third-year backup Tanner McKee for the QB No. 2 spot. 

McKee's been given more chances to throw this preseason — 173 yards and two touchdowns — and has looked the part of a solid backup, but his command of the offense isn't greater than Dalton's. 

So, it's possible that Roseman could see either McKee or Dalton as trade pieces for teams in QB trouble. While there may be more chances to play somewhere, like with the Cleveland Browns, would McKee want to be the one shipped off a contender? 

Washington Commanders' thin OL depth a boon for Julian Good-Jones

Quarterback Jayden Daniels' lone drive of the preseason was under severe duress. The Commanders were hoping the unit would bounce back from the loss of left tackle Jeremy Tunsil to injury, but that hasn't happened.

The unit has proven shallow and likely in need of finding a veteran on the waiver wire or via trade. For center Good-Jones, this is the final week to show there's a reason to look for depth in-house. However, he can't play guard, and when you're a backup, the fewer positions you can play, the fewer chances you'll get to see the field.
