"Williams facilitated this move with his outstanding 2025 season. He rushed for 1,201 yards and scored 11 touchdowns. Even more was his physical nature that always seemed to be progressing the ball forward with very little wasted movement. Injuries were the problem in his past, and his style of running (seeking contact) plays into it."
"The fans have spoken and are overwhelmingly in favor. 48% gave it an 'A' grade, while 45% gave it a 'B' grade. That means 93% of fans gave it high marks."
"This felt a little different for the Cowboys who have spent the past few years trying to get by as cheaply as possible at running back."
The Dallas Cowboys signed running back Javonte Williams to a three-year, $22 million contract with $16 million guaranteed, marking a shift in the team's approach to the position after years of budget-conscious spending. Williams earned the deal through his 2025 performance, accumulating 1,201 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns while demonstrating physical, forward-progressing running style. His aggressive approach to seeking contact has contributed to past injuries but also helps the offense impose its will defensively. Fan response was overwhelmingly positive, with 48% grading the deal an 'A' and 45% giving it a 'B', totaling 93% approval. The signing raises questions about whether the Cowboys will increase spending on other free agents, including franchise-tagged receiver George Pickens and kicker Brandon Aubrey.
