Cowboys Re-Sign Javonte Williams to 3-Year, $24M Deal with $16M Guaranteed

Running back Javonte Williams has agreed to a three-year, $24 million contract with the Dallas Cowboys, including $16 million guaranteed, securing him as the team's RB1 and preventing him from becoming an unrestricted free agent. The deal, with an $8 million AAV, ties him as the 16th-highest-paid running back. This follows his breakout 2025 season with Dallas, where he achieved career-highs of 1,201 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 252 carries, adding 137 receiving yards and two scores on 35 catches over 16 games. Williams, 25, returned to form after a 2022 ACL injury with the Broncos, significantly boosting the Cowboys' rushing offense.
