Rich Eisen: What the Blockbuster Quinnen Williams Trade Means for the Jets & Cowboys Moving Forward

And I believe you just uh are about to tell me about another trade involving the Jets. Is that true? Yes. And and you just made that reaction. Okay. And I see breaking news. I do not know. I will find this out on the air. Seconds ago, according to Ian Rapaort, Blockbuster, the Jets are sending Quinn Williams. Oh my goodness. To the Dallas Cowboys. There you go. There you go. I’m backing. I called this I called this three weeks ago with Tommy. And are they going to use one some of the ones from from the Micah trade? Uh unclear. I mean it has to be because if sauce is for two ones. If sauce is for two ones. Hey, Jets are tearing it all down. Wow. They really are. They’re tearing it all down. I feel like tap dancing until I find this out. I mean, Quinnon Williams is as good as they get, sir. Wow. Dang it. You know, when when Coner was in that chair, he asked me an all 22 type question and I was like, Quinn Williams, we were talking about Jeffrey Simmons. That was yesterday. Yeah. Right. And and Quinnon Williams is just as good, if not better, with all due respect. Wow. Quinton Williams is is terrific. And and the Jets are stripping it all down. And at 1 and seven, they are truly starting from scratch. This is a lost season already. Okay. So, Ian says he expects it to be the Cowboys first round pick, not the Packers first round pick. Okay. So, that’s a better one. Just one first. That’s it. Just one. Uh, I don’t know. That’s just part of it. It’s got to be more than that. It’s just part of the deal. A first round pick and more. Yeah. So, let me get this right here. As I’m looking it all up right now, this is unreal. Williams is 27. Okay. and um it’s he’s 27 and and he’s as good as they come and they’re young. This is a great move. As we know, Micah is 26 and this doesn’t this 100% fills the hole that has been a gaping massive problem for the Dallas Cowboys for ever and a day since I can remember. They’ve tried almost every Michigan Wolverine to try and fill that spot and they they failed. The Wolverines failed these Cowboys. Thanks, Wolverines. You know, Taco Charlton, Mazy Smith. Sorry. There’s rumors that Mazi is getting Well, guess what? Quinnon Williams is uh he and he and he and Kenny Clark are two guys right up the middle um that definitely fix the problem and they are willing to spend Quinnon Williams’ contract. Do you want to look that one up too, Chris? Sure. cuz that is that is um sizable. That is sizable. There is less pie and four four years 96 million which is kind of a bargain certainly compared to uh the four years um 160 right that or 180 right that that that uh that Micah got from Green Bay was it 180? Yeah. All right, we’re all reacting in real time here. It just Listen, I I will say this. If you are one and seven and the Jets are and you like your coach and you’re not going to fire him and you understand that the rest of this season is going to be that much more difficult to win football games and you are you don’t tank in the NFL cuz trust me the guys who are going to be playing in the place of S Gardner and Quinnon Williams you you will hear you will hear that the Jets are going to try and tank Hank for that first overall spot. Even though Daniel Jeremiah has said he doesn’t know who’s that first player, first overall guys is going to be. Nobody jumps out at you. Certainly at the quarterback position. Yeah. But every single person that’s going to be playing in places S Gardner and Quinnon Williams will 100% be trying to play for a job for the Jets moving forward if they want to live in the New York metropolitan area and play for Aaron Glenn. Those are two things that are very attractive and they’re going to be trying their asses off. And if the Jets win football games, that just shows you they do have the right coach. And even if they lose, you have to sit here and say you’ve cut bait on your best players on defense. I mean, if you name their best players, you you’d name Quinnon and you’d name Saus from 2223 and you’d name Quinnon’s brother, Quincy. And you’d also name Germaine Johnson, Will McDonald. They have some good players there. Cubard’s not completely bare, but if you’re going to get all of these draft choices, they now have three draft choices in next year’s draft. Theirs, the Cowboys, and the Colts. Correct. So, you can reload again and you definitely can get the quarterback you’re looking for. Or you could trade those for the following year’s draft if that’s where you want to get your quarterback. if you really think that that’s the spot. There’s a lot of flexibility you get here. But the bottom line is it sucks. Just at some point they just got to stop burning it down to the ground and starting again and looking at the fan base and saying, “No, this is the time. This is the moment. This is the pivot point. This is the coach. This is the general manager. This is the moment. At some point, the the the the field that you burn down to the ground to plant new crops will have to grow the crops that you actually make a mint on at your farm. Don’t worry, I won’t go tariffs. You know what I mean? Like, at some point, the regeneration has to stop and then you’ve got to win for this generation. Otherwise, you’re gonna have 14 year olds who come out of the stadium and you I hate this team, you know, looking like sounding existential. You don’t want teenage You want teenagers to sound hopeful, right? Not looking for, you know, I was born into it, but man, do I hate this team. I hate this team. Okay, so we don’t know yet. We’re still learning on We don’t know what the parameters are yet. Uh Jay Glazer said they it’s been agreed to but nothing public. Well, I’ll tell you what. And and the Cowboys just did what they need to do. Okay. Because by the way, maybe this was the guy that they were talking about. It probably wasn’t Rich. Oh, no. No. No. No. No. No. Not. And that’s why he didn’t say it that they felt like Jerry’s like, “We’re close enough. I’m gonna say I’m gonna hint on something.” I I don’t think it was. I I listen. I know. I started the show by saying smoke screen. Listen. And Quinnon Williams is his top five at the position. Yes. Okay. And he’s somebody who could stop the run and away to the quarterback. This takes a nice chunk out of the pie and and you know what? He’s willing to spend it and there’s no doubt that he’s able to flip his own draft choice to the Jets for Quinnon Williams to start the conversation cuz he’s got Green Bays in his back pocket. Mhm. So, he didn’t use one that he got from Micah, but he was able to use his own because he has one from the Micah situation. Great move for Dallas. Great move. I just don’t know. I just don’t know. Like, the by-week is hitting. Take the week off, Quinnon. Come move. Find a nice spot for yourself and then uh guess what? Hey, uh Gino Smith and Ashton Genty, try it against us and Kenny Clark and Quinnon Williams. that kid Logan Wilson. Hopefully, you know, overshand finds a little bit of a fountain of last year or two years ago. You know what I mean? The pick sixer suddenly shows back up again. I don’t know if this is going to be This is for the future, too. I mean, this is not just for this year. This is not just a this year fix. This is a big time move. Well, well done. Some conflicting uh compensation reports right now. Ian was saying it’s a first this year. uh the the Cowboys first, not the Packers. Jay Glazer saying it’s a second this year and a first next year. So, we’ll see what comes out officially. Man, you got more for sauce out of the Colts. A second this year. Well, listen, if Dallas gets to use both their first round picks this year, that’s huge. And it’s only coughs up a second and the Jets are like, “Take them and we’ll get we’ll get a first for the year after that.” That means they have two firsts and two seconds in this upcoming draft and two firsts, three firsts in the following draft, which is where the the the new quarterback may reside perhaps if you stick out with Fields one more year. Well, once again, the Jets preaching preaching patience to their fan base while the Cowboys are that’s aggressive. DJ, you got to like that. At least it’s given hope. You know, that’s what Monaco and I talk about this all the time. Our director who’s also a Cowboy fan. Yeah. It’s like you you and I say this all the time. He’s more interested in energy and oil than winning football games. At least now it makes it seem like you know they’re in the right direction. Sir Land Man just landed the man for the Jets on defense. He was the one when it was all beginning to start to come together. Okay. He’s the one who was sitting in Aaron Rogers lap in Green Bay like it was a mall Santa. And that was when that’s when you’re like, “Oh, okay. That’s what this guy can do. That’s what this defense can do. The Jets can do that in Lambeau Field with Breece Hall’s running like crazy and Quinnon Williams is doing this. Oh, okay. Of course though, Jets can’t have that nice of a player for his entire career. Got to think Bruce Hall is up next. I don’t know, man. But the fire sale is on in uh New Jersey, huh? For sure. Okay. Hey, you made it all the way to the end. Thanks for that. Check us out every single day streaming live on Disney Plus and the ESPN app. 12 to 3 Eastern.
