Welcome back to the Locked On Cowboys podcast, part of the Locked On Podcast network. Your team every day. We'd like to thank you for making us the number one sports podcast network. And today's episode is brought to you by fanduel. If you want to be right in the middle of the of the action this football season, visit FanDuel.com and place your NFL Live bets all season long. Welcome back. I am your host, Marcus Moer. He is Landon McCool. And on today's show, we're going to take a look at three, well, four players who are going into really big parts of the season. We've got four games left. I think three of these four players could be playing for their spots on the roster in 2026. And I want to start with Trayvon Diggs, who is expected to play this week against the Vikings for the first time in months after dealing with this weird concussion, slash, knee injuries, plural. I think it's just been a foregone conclusion, Landon, that he's going to be off this roster in 2026. But what if he plays really well over the last four games?
- [02:49]
Landon McCool
Yeah, I mean, it's certainly something to consider. And look, I mean, part of it is that he plays a position that. That clearly, I think even if he does come back next year, you may have to look at drafting anyways, right? Like you have a needed defensive back, whether it's corner or safety, and I think maybe both. And, and, and there's a chance that, you know, even if you do like the way that he finishes up these last few weeks, you're probably still, you know, adding another body into that group. But, you know, if he does play well, then, then you still have years of left on his contract. There might be some benefits of bringing him back. So I, I do think for Trayvon, who, you know, look, it's not even just the Cowboys like other teams are watching what happened with Trayvon this year and all the kind of craziness that surrounded it. And I think that's going to have an impact on his market if he decided that he wants to be a free agent. So whether Trayvon's coming back with the Cowboys or going out on the free agent market, I think after the way that this year's kind of played out, he's, he needs to finish with the, with the strong back half of the season.
- [03:50]
Marcus Moer
Well, and you made the case for him as a free agent. Remember, the Cowboys would have to release him for him to become a free agent. If you're an outside team looking at Trayvon Diggs, you're going to look at a Cornerback who is 28 years old, who's missed a lot of time with knee injuries, who's not the most reliable tackler, and whose play has really diminished over the last three years. And to me, that's a player that probably gets like a one year, four or five million dollars deal in free agency, kind of like a prove it deal. Whereas I think if Diggs can have a strong end of the season in Dallas, maybe they rework the numbers a little bit. But his base salary is 14 and a half million. Like it. It just makes way more financial sense for Diggs to stay in Dallas if possible. But he's going to need to play really well over the final four games to do so.
- [04:40]
Landon McCool
Yeah, I mean, because it's not even, it feels like not even just kind of making up for inconsistent play. Obviously there's been some weirdness with, between Diggs and the. In the front office. So I think that, you know, to kind of make it worth their while, to kind of keep him, for him, for the team to make it be made worth their while to keep him on the team, he's gonna need to play really well and kind of counteract some of the, the bad vibes that maybe were going on earlier in the.
- [05:05]
Marcus Moer
Season between those 100. And it's just the reason why you're really hoping this happens is because imagine if Diggs plays at a acceptable level, right. And it's back to not, not 2021, but maybe more like 2022, where, you know, he was not getting the interceptions, but playing at a really high level. If you have Duron Bland, you have that version of Diggs, you have a revel still on a rookie contract. You have Kaylin Carson. I mean, that's four cornerbacks that you feel pretty good about. You could still draft one, obviously, you know, in the early rounds to give you some more help in that position. But I think you would feel completely different about the future of this defense if Diggs is able to turn back the clock. And again, it's a four game sample. It's not the biggest sample size in the world, but there's some good offenses that you're going to be facing in this stretch and some good receivers, including Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. This would be a great time to show that he's still a starting caliber cornerback in the NFL.
- [06:06]
Landon McCool
Yeah. And I think that's legitimately something that he still kind of needs to go out there and prove. Right. Is that, I mean, I think, you know, when he was out on the field, you know, early in the season, you know, he was coming off of an injury, but he was still putting, going out there and playing, and he was still putting, you know, tape out there. So he needs to counteract some of the bad tape that he's put out there and prove to folks that he still has the ability to go out there and be a guy that is, you know, worthy of being a starting corner in the NFL. And more than that, maybe better than just an average starting point in the NFL.
- [06:35]
Marcus Moer
Do you think there's a chance the Cowboys already have their minds made up here because they could designate him as a post June 1 cut, say 15 and a half million, and just move on from, you know, the entire Trayvon experience, even if he plays well. Because I could see a scenario where, you know, he, he does play well and it's like, you know, we just don't want to bother with this again. He's, he's been too unavailable, he's been too unreliable. We just want to move on. We'll use that money to sign somebody else in the secondary.
- [07:04]
Landon McCool
I mean, certainly, like, I mean, look, we, we still don't know exactly the totality of what happened with Trayvon Diggs and, you know, off field, you know, in the building, out of the building. We, we know that something's gone on, but we don't really know the shape of, like, you know, how it's had an effect on the relationship with the front office of the Cowboys. So, yeah, I think that there's certainly a. A chance that there is nothing that Trayvon could do that could bring. That could bring it back based on, you know, potentially things that we're not aware of. But I also think that even if there isn't, even. Even if that is the case for Trayvon's sake, right, like, if he's getting cut, he needs to put good film out there, because it's not a case where, you know, he. He's gonna get cut and just everyone's gonna be like, well, it was just a personal thing with the Cowboys. That guy's still, you know, worth giving 12, $15 million. Yeah. So, like, he's got to play well just to kind of prove to not only the Cowboys, but teams outside the building that he's still a, you know, viable option as a starting Cornerback.
- [08:05]
Marcus Moer
He's played 19 games over the last three seasons, and I would say at least half of those have been really rough. Like, really, really rough. He has had some good games mixed in there as well. But I. I do want to see what a better defensive line, because, remember, he has not played a game with Quinn and Williams yet. This defensive line, for the most part, has played better over the last couple games. Outside of that Detroit, you know, fiasco, maybe with an improved pass rush, with a healthy Duron Bland, maybe we see a better version of Trayvon Diggs. I'm not counting on it, but I'm not necessarily dismissing it either.
- [08:41]
Landon McCool
Yeah, I mean, look, it sure felt like a lot of what was going on with Trayvon Diggs was some bad technique as well. It wasn't just about, like, you know, the. The. The man versus zone covered thing, which, you know, I think is also feeding into this a little bit because he is, you know, prefers to play more man coverage. But. But look, I mean, you know, he's not get his, you know, choice of where he's gonna go if he gets cut. Like, I mean, he's gonna basically have, you know, a couple suitors if he can't find a way to put better tape with just at least better technique out there. Not even just making plays or. Or whatever, just playing solid technique and not, you know, gonna get your defensive coordinator burned when he calls something. And you're using the wrong technique and getting beat deep because you're not playing the way that everybody else in the field is.
- [09:25]
Marcus Moer
Last thing on Trayvon, do you think he starts this week against Minnesota. Or you think it's still Bland, Rebel, Carson, and they rotate digs him. What would you do? I'm gonna ask you that. What would you rather see them do?
- [09:38]
Landon McCool
I mean, I, I think that they'll likely kind of work him in. Right. Like that's usually been the case with a lot of these situations. Whatever. The Cowboys have guys who are coming back from injury to a position in which know rotating is kind of more possible. Right. Like they, they, they tend to like, to like. So, so you back in kind of a, you know, a not so steep curve of play getting back onto the field. So I would imagine that it's kind of what we talked about, I think, last week when we thought he was coming back. I wouldn't be shocked if it's him and Rebel kind of rotating those snaps on, on that one spot and then Carson and Bland taking over the other two spots.
- [10:16]
Marcus Moer
All right, I want to have a conversation about Javante Williams because there's a chance that he could run for like 1400 yards this year, but the next four games are really critical for his future in Dallas. We'll tell you why next.

And you can also check out the link in the show notes all right, Le let's talk about Javante Williams because he's been awesome this year and I'm actually, I would like to see the Cowboys bring him back, but I do think the final four games of the season are going to be pretty telling. We've seen his yards per carry really drop over the last six games and part of it isn't his fault. They just played so many games in a short period of time. But over the last six games he's down to 4.1 yards per attempt. You're not really seeing a lot of the big runs anymore. Why is this stretch so important for Javante?
- [13:26]
Landon McCool
Well, I mean, I think, you know, what we've seen is that the, the offensive line has kind of tapered off a little bit in their performance for run blocking, you know, and I think it's because created a situation where Javante's in kind of a tough situation. Right. Like he has at times earlier in the season, you know, made up for some of the, the, the miscommunications or you know, times when, when things weren't blocked up the way you want. And that's what's made this running game so good. Especially early in the season it felt like is you were getting pretty decent returns from your young offensive line. But then even when you weren't, Javante was making you right. Right. And getting a lot of yards after contact. As the season goes on and as he incurs more contact, it's reasonable to expect that, that those numbers would go down as he kind of takes on the wear and tear of the season. So it's a tough spot. Like you kind of need the offensive line to help him out a little bit. But I think if you, if you're trying to like really hone in on the value of Javante Williams at the. I think this is a great way to do it because you have to. You see that the kind of diminishing returns he's getting in the run game up front and he's going to have to start kind of creating for himself. And, and to us, that's always been the kind of difference between the sort of guy you can get off the street anytime and the, the kind of bell cow backs that you want. Right. Is, is the, the ability to create even when there isn't a lot there. So I think it's. It may not the last, you know, few games may not be a strong indicator or whether or not Javante Williams comes back or not. I think that that's likely to happen potentially. I think it's more just about, you know, what kind of tier of running back are we talking about here? Is he able to continue to create even as the, the yards before carry numbers start to diminish as the season goes on and finish strong? And if so, he could be, you know, adding a couple million dollars to his, you know, annual paycheck just because he, you know, reached a kind of new tier of talent of where the running backs are.
- [15:28]
Marcus Moer
So, you know, my philosophy on paying running backs, I, I generally don't want to do that. However, I do think Javante is in this range of running backs like cap wise, that it actually makes sense to pay because he's not going to get 12, 13, $14 million a year. Like, he's just not in that range. Right. He's not in the Saquon Barkley, Derek Henry, Christian McAffrey mold, but he's in that five to six million dollars range. Now, I would assume, I think he's getting three and a half million this year. I would expect a pay raise. All things considered, I would like to see the Cowboys bring back Javante because it just is one less need that you have to fill in the draft or in free agency. Right. And I think having a guy that is reliable, that could run between the tackles, that'll pass ball, hawk his butt off is valuable. But if you see somebody, you know, in the last month of the season that isn't creating big plays and it does look like he's slowing down, maybe you're less willing to give that guy five or six million dollars a year and he's right back into the tier that we saw him last year of rico Dowdle at 1 year 3 million or Javante 1 year 3 million.
- [16:38]
Landon McCool
Yeah. And, and I think even if he does come back and, and, and you know, comes back for like say another one year deal potentially. I think the Cowboys need to do more of a job of kind of making sure that there's a second back. Right. And making sure that they've got more of a rotation because not, maybe not so much like a rotation between, you know, a true split backfield, but you just need to make sure that you're not incurring so many touches.
- [17:06]
Marcus Moer
And that's the other thing. It's. I, I'm really interested to see how he plays because there's one thing of like, let's say he gets six and a half million dollars in free agency and that's his market. Are you better off doing that and drafting a running back on day three or are you better off paying a Breeze hall or Kenneth Walker? $12 million a year, whatever the number ends up being, how big is that gap between those two guys and Javante Williams this year? Javante's been better than both of them, but you also have to project forward a little bit and maybe take those guys out of their offenses and see what it looks like in Dallas.
- [17:38]
Landon McCool
Yeah, and that's kind of where I was getting at is that I think, you know, it's, it's not even necessarily about how much you're going to pay Javonte Williams, but how much of the Cowboys want to spend or, or you know what, how much resources do they want to put towards the running back position going into the off season where they have a lot of other stuff on defense that they need to take care of? So yeah, it's, it's about like, do we want to resign Javante Williams and do we want to potentially pair him with somebody else? Do we need to get a second veteran running back? Do we need to plan on potentially drafting a running back to kind of pair with Devonte Williams, or do we feel comfortable about re signing him and then kind of piecemealing together a backup plan for him, much like they did this year. These are things to consider and I think the last few games of the year will kind of tell you because here's the thing, let's say he doesn't play well. You're not going to necessarily want to repeat this situation where he kind of tapers off at the end of the season without extra because your hope is that you're going to be in the playoffs next year and that you're going to have three or four extra games to play by the time that this time of year rolls around. So you want to be able to finish strong. And if you feel like he's not able to do this the way that we've been using him these last few years, then maybe you need to start budgeting for having a second running back that you're going to give a healthy amount of carries through to throughout the year just to limit the exposure of Javante Williams.
- [18:58]
Marcus Moer
Yeah, what really is messing Dallas up and messing is the wrong word probably, but like they don't have a second or a third round pick in this upcoming draft. Yeah, I think if you had a second round pick you'd be like, oh, just bring Javante back on a one year, four and a half million dollar deal and then draft the guy that has some juice in round two and have that guy take over in 2027. But because you don't have those picks and you don't really, at least I don't really want to spend a first round pick on a running back. It does make this a difficult conversation. I think Javante has been an awesome, awesome free agent signing for the Cowboys this year. But I do wonder if the next four games are going to kind of set his market.
- [19:37]
Landon McCool
Yeah, again, like, I think it's, it's not even just a, a cut or, or kept on the team sort of like of, of grading scale that we're going on. Right. There's like lots of different stops between, like based on how he performs these last few games. So it really is going to have an effect on how much he's getting paid, whether he's going to have a very, you know, prominent running mate next year. Lots of things to be determined by the Cowboys running backfield based on how Javante performs these last few games.
- [20:04]
Marcus Moer
I want to add in one more player before we get to Sam Williams. Jake Ferguson. Now, the Cowboys signed Jake Ferguson due to contract extension during training camp when the Micah Parsons stuff was going on. But outside of the touchdowns, and I know that's bearing the lead a little bit, but Jake Ferguson is averaging 7.4 yards per reception this year. Jason Whitten at age 39 for the Cowboys averaged a full yard more per catch than Jason than what Jake Ferguson is doing. He averaged two and a half yards more after the catch than what Jake Ferguson is doing right now. And I just wonder if Ferguson continues to struggle a little bit, maybe that opens up the door for the Cowboys to consider like a round one tight end to really upgrade this offense.
- [20:52]
Landon McCool
Yeah, I mean, you know, it's, it's, the numbers are really weird, right? Like, because you can paint that, you can paint them all kinds of different ways. If you wanted to say, like, he's, oh, he's a great red zone weapon. Like, you know, oh, you got all these touchdowns. But yeah, I mean, ultimately, if you watch the tape, he's not had a good year. Like, there's no way to, to like, you know, watch it and think that he's had some kind of spectacular year. And, and you mentioned it, right? Like, obviously all the targeting near the goal line is also not helping his, his numbers. Advanced metric numbers. Right. As well. But even beyond that, like, you watch what's going on on the tape and it's like, you know, what happened to the guy that was breaking, you know, taking a, a swing pass out into the flat and breaking tackles and picking up 10 yards. Like, it feels like now you see him catch the ball and then he runs into defenders at the times instead of trying to avoid them. It's like the thing that made him special that you wanted, it kind of has gone away. So, yeah, I think, you know, you probably could give Ferguson one more year at this point, but I mean, you know, it's just because you just resigned him to a deal. But it's like you look at the situation and if you can't get any more production from him these last few games, you may want to consider at least trying to find a way to supplement that by, I don't know, drafting a pass catching tight end or signing somebody that can do it.
- [22:10]
Marcus Moer
I got a stat for you. Since week three of 2024, Jake Ferguson has more fumbles than 50 yard receiving games. Like, that's how bad it's been. And the Cowboys are paying him like a top 10 tight end. We know that he's not a great run blocker. He's putting the ball on the ground. He's dropped a lot of passes this year that frankly, he shouldn't drop. I think it's really important over the next month for him just to stabilize the season a little bit and give the Cowboys front office some confidence that he is the right guy for this job long term. That's all.
- [22:43]
Landon McCool
I think that's fair. I mean, because he has just not performed the way we've expected him to. Not. Not to his contract and not to what we've seen these last few years, to be honest.
- [22:51]
Marcus Moer
All right, let's talk about Sam Williams, who was entering the final four games of his rookie contract with the Dallas Cowboys. What does his future look like? We'll get to that next.

Welcome back to the Lat on Cowboys podcast. We'd like to thank you for making us your first listen of the day land. Let's talk about Sam Williams, who has had a very strange NFL career and honestly a very strange season where started out week one having five pressures against Philadelphia and then was awful for about two months. But it's kind of slowly started to, to make some more plays for Dallas.
- [25:33]
Landon McCool
Yeah, I mean it's, it's been a weird thing, right? Like you see it, you see the explosiveness, you see the, the playmaking ability. He's, he's one of these guys who just feels like a high variance player where, you know, sometimes you're going to see him making plays, sometimes you're going to see him making plays for the other team, you know, and then you add in all the kind of special team stuff that he's that he's, you know, like, value that he's added as a guy that's punching balls out or is blocking kicks. And, And I did. He blocked a pun as well, didn't he?
- [26:03]
Marcus Moer
Bought the kick. It was. But he's been.
- [26:06]
Landon McCool
Yeah, okay. I thought he also done a pun earlier, but. Yeah, I mean, just.
- [26:09]
Marcus Moer
I'll double check. Go ahead.
- [26:10]
Landon McCool
He's just, you know, but he's just been a guy that, like, at alternate times has played very well and then suddenly very poorly. And look, I think, you know, the, the dream of getting the kind of Sam Williams that we had hoped for early in the season, where you thought, okay, this is. This is a guy that we were waiting to break out and maybe take a. Take a starting job.
- [26:32]
Marcus Moer
You're right. By the way, he blocked the pun against the Cardinals. That's the one that Marsha Nealon recovers, so.
- [26:35]
Landon McCool
Yes, that's right. Of course. Yeah. So I think it's just, you know, it's one of those things now where he hasn't lived up to that, you know, kind of starting billing, and I don't think that that's in the cards for him right now. But if he finishes the season strong, you know, he could. He's still a young guy. He's. I think he's only like 26 or 7.
- [26:55]
Marcus Moer
I got.
- [26:58]
Landon McCool
Yeah, again, I shouldn't be saying these stuff.
- [27:00]
Marcus Moer
26. He'll be 27 in March, so he's young.
- [27:03]
Landon McCool
It's still. And I think he has, you know, a lot of athleticism. There still is some untapped upside there, but the question is, will that ever get fully tapped? And I, and, And, you know, I think he's a good guy. I just wonder about the ability to kind of create a consistent playmaking player out of Sam Williams, which is just, you know, we've been waiting and waiting and waiting, and it just doesn't feel like we've gotten any closer to any consistency, especially on defense.
- [27:33]

You know, my thoughts on Sam Williams, he's been a lot of the, the issues for Dallas, especially in the run game, you know, for a lot, you know, a lot of these games. But I keep coming back to some of my thoughts on, like, Doran's Armstrong, like year three, year four, when he was in Dallas, where, I mean, this was somebody that was buried on the bench, was not playing, but he made a lot of plays on special teams. The Cowboys signed into a two year, $12 million deal and then he really broke out. This was somebody who, you know, did not do a lot on the rookie contract. But that year five, year six started to play better. And part of me thinks Sam Williams, you know, 12, you know, 24 months removed from his torn ACL, not playing as many special team snaps, maybe he will be a better, more reliable defensive end. I have no idea what his market's going to look like though, and I think these next four games maybe could help set it.

Yeah, and I think for him it's, it's not about the athleticism and I think that's maybe the difference between him and Dorrance Armstrong is that not the Dorrance was a bad athlete or anything, but Sam Williams is an elite athlete at the defensive end position with those kind of, you know, ball of clay sort of situation. The problem has always been about being consistent mentally, right. Understanding your technique, playing that technique the right way each time and under and doing the right thing on each play, you know, and, and that's, that's the question is, do you think you he can find that? Is he going to be able to find that ability or is this going to be a situation where he's always just going to be a high variance player and you're going to have to treat him like one for the rest of his career?

I keep telling them not to say that. I'm no superhuman. Believe it or not, I struggle with moderate obstructive sleep apnea or OSA in adults with obesity. Moderate to severe OSA is a condition where breathing is interrupted during sleep with loud snoring, choking, gasping for air and even daytime fatigue. Let's just say it could sound a lot like this.
