Could $50 million payday await 4th-year Cowboy on comeback trail?
2024 was supposed to be a breakout year for Sam Williams. After grading well in limited opportunities in his first two seasons, Williams was going to be an integral part of the defensive end rotation in Dallas under Mike Zimmer. With Dorance Armstrong and Dante Fowler heading to Washington via free agency, Williams had a clear path to DE3 ahead of him, as the primary backup to Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence. An ACL injury changed all of that, wiping out Williams' entire third season, and placing him in a tough spot entering the final year of his rookie deal. While Lawrence is no longer in town, Fowler has returned and the Cowboys have continued to draft at his position. Edge rusher is the Cowboys' best position heading into training camp, and aside from his recovery, Williams has a ton of competition to fight through while looking to secure his future. Rundown Position: Edge Rusher Age: 26 Height: 6-foot-4 Weight: 261 pounds Hometown: Montgomery, AL High School: Robert E. Lee College: Northeast Mississippi CC, Ole Miss (Highlight Video) Draft: 2020 Fourth-round pick (No. 108 Overall) Acquired: 2022 Draft Second Round, No. 56 overall Contract: Four-year contract (2022), $6.2 million 2025 Base Salary: $1.15 million Career Earnings: $4.45 million (per Over The Cap) Profile Williams' 8.5 sacks through two years isn't earth shattering, but his limited opportunities are likely the cause of that number not being higher. Pro Football Focus graded his pass-rush ability as 71.0 and 73.0, upper-third grades. It's hard to get an exact comparison for the kind of career start Williams has had, but Green Bay's Rashad Gary and Miami's Bradley Chubb are the ones he probably most want to identify with. Gary went from seven sacks in his first two seasons to 9.5 in Year 3, eventually earning a $96 million, four-year extension from the Packers. Chubb had a much stronger start, with 12 sacks as a rookie, but missed much of his second and fourth seasons to injury. Chubb earned a $110 million deal. Can Williams explode in 2025 and earn a similar payday that will set him up for life? There are now two dozen edge rushers making over $13 million in average salary. To get there, Williams will have to carve out playing time from Parsons, Fowler, second-year second rounder Marshawn Kneeland and rookie second rounder Donovan Ezeiruaku. He'll also be competing against Payton Turner and Solomon Thomas. Suffice to say, there's plenty of competition, but Williams does have the ability to stand out. He's proven a viable pass rusher, has youth on his side as the youngest of the pending free agents. Out of Turner, Thomas, Fowler and Williams, it helps Dallas if Williams is the best of all, either through convincing them to invest long term or driving up his comp-pick worthiness for 2026 free agency.

Latest Patriots moves hint at Stefon Diggs' training camp status
The latest reported roster moves made by the New England Patriots likely hinted at wide receiver Stefon Diggs' status ahead of training camp. Multiple players, including Mack Hollins, Vederian Lowe, Austin Hooper, Jahlani Tavai, Carlton Davis III, Josh Minkins and Jeremiah Webb have been placed on either the active/PUP list or the active/non-football list. However, Diggs' name was not on the list of players who haven't been cleared to practice ahead of training camp. That likely means he will be on the practice field when the team kicks off the first day of training camp on Wednesday, July 23. It's an incredible testament to his hard work and perseverance behind the scenes after tearing his ACL last October. There is hope that Diggs can serve as a top receiving option for second-year quarterback Drake Maye. He has worked closely with the 22-year-old signal-caller, including traveling out to a throwing session with his new teammate held in North Carolina. Before the injury, Diggs had six consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons. The jury is still out on whether he can return to that same level of elite play after such a devastating knee injury. It might be foolish to count him out after witnessing his incredible ACL recovery. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.

Lions lose defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike for season with torn ACL
After a brutal 2024 season of injuries on defense, the Lions' 2025 is off to a disappointing start. Lions defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike suffered a torn ACL and will miss the entire season, head coach Dan Campbell announced today. Onwuzurike opened camp on the reserve/physically unable to perform list but it was only today that Campbell explained why. "Levi is out for the year. Levi's surgery, it was significant, but it needed to be done. Out of his control but it needed to be done, so he will miss the season," Campbell said. "It was a knee, ACL, so he got that taken care of." Onwuzurike has spent his entire career with the Lions, who drafted him in the second round in 2021. Last year he was one of the few Lions defenders who stayed healthy, missing only one game and playing in 61 percent of the Lions' defensive snaps.
