"On February 21st, they signed Javonte Williams to a 3-year deal worth $24M in total. 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. He ran for over 1,200 yards a year ago, so it was important that they got a guy finally locked up, and they did it a bit early so that they did not have to overpay for him if other guys get more."
"The next biggest move they made was throwing the franchise tag on George Pickens. They did that on February 27th. Pickens becomes the first player tagged by the Cowboys since running back Tony Pollard received it in 2023, and tight end Dalton Schultz received it in 2022."
The Dallas Cowboys front office has delivered an unusually active and productive offseason, marking a significant departure from recent years under Jerry Jones. The team has completed nearly 10 player transactions, demonstrating a commitment to roster improvement. Key moves include securing running back Javonte Williams with a 3-year extension worth $24 million total, featuring $8 million annually and $16 million guaranteed through 2028. Williams, who rushed for over 1,200 yards previously, represents a strategic early signing to avoid overpaying amid free agency competition. Additionally, the Cowboys applied the franchise tag to wide receiver George Pickens on February 27th, marking the first franchise tag usage since Tony Pollard in 2023. Kicker Brandon Aubrey is also positioned to become the NFL's highest-paid at his position.
