"Williams, 25, gets $8M per year and a very solid $16M in guaranteed money with the extension. It will keep him in Dallas, at least contractually, through the 2028 season. It was less than a year ago that Williams, a North Carolina native and former Denver Bronco, signed with the Cowboys for just $3M over one season. For all intents and purposes, it was a last-chance deal to revive his career. As proven by his second contract with Dallas, he did that and more."
"At the beginning of the 2025 season, Williams was expected to battle with rookies Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah, and veteran Miles Sanders for snaps. He quickly showed that any "competition" was not needed. Williams saw career highs in carries, yards, touchdowns, and basically every other statistical category you can think of. He ran for 1,201 yards, good for ninth in the NFL, while also scoring over a dozen total touchdowns."
Javonte Williams agreed to a three-year, $24 million extension with the Dallas Cowboys, including $16 million guaranteed and an $8 million average annual value. The deal keeps him contractually in Dallas through the 2028 season. Williams signed with the Cowboys less than a year earlier on a one-year, $3 million deal after departing the Denver Broncos. Williams earned the extension by producing career highs in 2025, totaling 1,201 rushing yards (ninth in the NFL) and more than a dozen total touchdowns. The contract value places him near D'Andre Swift and Chuba Hubbard among running backs league-wide. The Cowboys view Williams as a key offensive piece while allocating future resources to the defense.
