Dodgers’ Historic Slump + Quinnen Williams Signs $105.9M Extension With Cowboys: Is Dallas All In?

Reese, Pam and Alex discuss whether Dodgers fans should be worried after the team’s historic seven-game losing streak, the Cowboys’ decision to make Quinnen Williams one of the highest-paid defensive tackles in the NFL and whether Dallas has what it takes to make a serious run this season.

The Dodgers’ seven-game losing streak was far more alarming than a typical midseason slump. For a team that has been one of baseball’s most dominant and consistent franchises, losing seven straight was an unusually long and shocking stretch, especially because many of the losses came after the Dodgers had leads late in games. They finally snapped the skid in extra innings on Satruday, but the collapse served as a warning that their bullpen could be the biggest factor in determining how far they go in October. Should Dodgers fans be worried?

The Cowboys made a major move to strengthen their defense when they acquired defensive tackle Quinnen Williams from the Jets last season in exchange for Mazi Smith, a 2026 second-round pick and a 2027 first-round pick. Williams quickly became an important part of Dallas’ defense, and the Cowboys have now committed to keeping him long term. Dallas recently agreed to a three-year, $105.9M contract extension with Williams, including $101M guaranteed, keeping him under contract through 2030. Is this a good move for Dallas? Is this the year for the Cowboys?
