4. Mario Williams, Defensive End

Help! No, not you Greg Hardy.

With defensive end Randy Gregory spending the first four games at home doing nothing (hopefully), Dallas’ hope of seeing the birth of a defensive star will be on hold.

Enter former first overall pick in 2006 Mario Williams.

Williams is out visiting the Miami Dolphins and the New York Giants. Jerry, pick up the phone, would ya?

As a Buffalo Bill, Williams was a sack machine during his four-year stay.

2015 | 15 Games | 5.0 Sacks

2014 | 16 Games | 14.5 Sacks

2013 | 16 Games | 13.0 Sacks

2012 | 16 Games | 10.5 Sacks

The six-foot-six defensive end turned 31 last January. Could the former Houston Texan be making his way back to the state of Texas?

My Final Verdict: Hey Mr. Jerry Jones, do you need to borrow my phone charger? The return back to a 4-3 stance might be a welcome environment for Williams. The Cowboys need pressure (did I mention that?).

Williams and the Cowboys fit might be what the Dallas doctor ordered. Or maybe that was Rod Marinelli. Heck, maybe it was probably both.
