houston texans join dallas cowboys in a race to sign star quarterback
in a surprising twist to the 2024 nfl season, the houston texans have entered the fray to sign free-agent quarterback danny williams, adding pressure to the dallas cowboys, who have long been the frontrunners for the young star’s signature. williams, widely regarded as one of the top quarterbacks in the league after an impressive 2023 season, is now the target of two of texas’ most prominent nfl franchises.
the texans, in particular, have been making moves to solidify their quarterback position, following a challenging year that saw them struggle with inconsistency at the position. while the team has a promising young roster, the texans’ front office has made it clear that they intend to contend sooner rather than later. bringing in a proven quarterback like williams could be the catalyst they need to accelerate their rebuilding process.
danny williams, 25, made a name for himself last season with the oakland raiders, where he threw for over 4,500 yards and 35 touchdowns, quickly becoming one of the most sought-after quarterbacks in the league. his strong arm, mobility, and leadership skills have caught the attention of multiple nfl teams, but it’s the texans and cowboys who have emerged as the clear front-runners in the race to secure his services.
the cowboys, who have long had a solid foundation, are in the midst of another season with dak prescott at the helm. however, prescott’s inconsistent performances in the postseason have raised questions about whether the team can go all the way with him under center. while prescott remains the starting quarterback, many insiders believe that the cowboys are eager to add a younger, dynamic option in case they need to make a change. the addition of williams would give the team a fresh face to lead them into the future.
meanwhile, the texans are coming off a 7-10 record in 2024, and while they showed promise, they lack the consistency needed to be a real playoff contender. the team has already invested heavily in other key positions, and with a solid defense and a strong running game, the quarterback position seems to be the missing piece in their puzzle. by acquiring williams, the texans would not only have a potential franchise quarterback but also send a message to the rest of the league that they are serious about competing now.
the competition between the texans and the cowboys for williams’ services has reached a fever pitch, with both teams reportedly offering significant contracts to entice the quarterback. while williams has yet to make his decision, it is expected that the decision could come as soon as this week, with both franchises eager to lock down the future of their offense.
as the race to sign williams continues, fans in houston and dallas are anxiously awaiting what could be a game-changing move for either team. whichever way williams decides to go, his decision will undoubtedly have a lasting impact on the future of the nfl in texas.
