Quinnen Williams Fed Up With Losing in New York — Now On a Mission to Dominate With the Cowboys
All the failures in New York had piled up on standout defensive player Quinnen Williams, who never experienced a winning season in over six and a half years with the Jets.
After being traded to the Cowboys on Tuesday, the three-time Pro Bowl selection didn’t hide his frustration over all the losses. He’s ready to start a winning streak in Dallas.
“As an extremely competitive person, I think anyone who has gone through as many losses as I have would feel worn down,” he said on Wednesday.

“I know there are people who, in their whole lives, lose just one game and feel disappointed. So, of course, I was frustrated, but the relationships I have with Coach Aaron Glenn and GM Darren Mougey—those relationships are still strong. They know I was frustrated. I think the world also knows I was frustrated after being there so long and still losing.”
In his six full seasons in New York, the Jets never won more than seven games in a single season. From 2019 to 2024, they went 32-68. In 2025, they started the season 1-7, which led to a roster overhaul and the trade of stars like Williams and Sauce Gardner.
Williams said, “Yeah, I’m hungry to win. I’m hungry to win. That’s the main thing. Like I said before, I’m a top-level competitor. Everything I do is to win. Everything I do, everything I work on when I wake up, it’s just about winning. So that forms my mindset—I’ll do whatever the coaches want if it helps us win.”
