FRISCO: 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.

When all is said and done, along with the upcoming NFL Draft’s pursuit of “The Next Travis Frederick” and “The Next Tyron Smith,” one NFL source tells CowboysSI.com, maybe jokingly, that a reunion between Dallas and Williams would be “a typical (Cowboys) signing.” Alright, a lot of irony perhaps.

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.

“Connor’s situation has a degree of uncertainty that will be tied to how he’s feeling,” the agent continued. And honestly, once the offseason begins, we’ll just take things day by day.
