Cowboys Sign RB Javonte Williams to Three-Year, $24 Million Deal

The Dallas Cowboys have re-signed running back Javonte Williams to a new three-year, $24 million contract, including $16 million guaranteed. Williams, who turns 26 in April, is coming off a breakout 2025 season with 1,201 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns, plus 35 catches for 137 yards and two scores in 16 games. This deal, comparable to D'Andre Swift's 2024 contract, is seen as a win for the front office given the rising salary cap and Williams' scheme fit as a powerful, well-rounded RB1 and strong pass protector. He finished 2025 ninth in rushing yards and eighth in touchdowns.
