Williams has taken over the No. 33 jersey, which he wore during his time with the Denver Broncos. The history behind the No. 33 in Dallas, of course, is that it once belonged to Pro Football Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett.

Throughout his four seasons in Denver, Williams recorded 2,394 yards and 11 touchdowns, but he was never full back to form following his rookie year when he rushed for 903 yards before injuries began to plague his career. However, the potential is there for Williams to be a solid addition.

The 2025 NFL free agency period officially opened at 4:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 12, when the new league year begins. For now, the NFL's "legal tampering period" is underway, with teams having the opportunity to negotiate with unrestricted free agents before the official start of free agency.
