Former Auburn wide receiver Seth Williams has signed with the DC Defenders in the UFL, continuing his professional career after a stint in the NFL. Williams, a fan favorite during his time at Auburn, caught 47 passes for 760 yards and four touchdowns in his final season with the Tigers. He will be teaming up with fellow Auburn alumnus Sal Cannella as the Defenders look to secure a playoff spot with a strong 5-2 record.

Williams is expected to catch passes from quarterback Jordan Ta'amu, who previously played in the SEC. This matchup against the Arlington Renegades is crucial as both teams vie for playoff contention. Cannella, the team's leading receiver this season, adds an exciting dynamic to the offensive lineup.

The Dallas Cowboys made a significant move by trading for Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens, sending a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick in exchange. This acquisition comes after the Cowboys released Seth Williams, who had minimal impact on the field. With CeeDee Lamb already a standout receiver, the addition of Pickens creates a formidable duo that could pose major challenges for opposing defenses.

This trade reflects Dallas's commitment to returning to the playoffs after missing out last season. Both Pickens and Lamb provide quarterback Dak Prescott with versatile options, enhancing their overall aerial attack. Fans can expect dynamic plays and a more potent offense as the Cowboys look to rebound from previous disappointments.
