"It was revealed earlier this week in the end of the season news conference that the Dallas Cowboys have started contract negotiations with running back Javonte Williams. Jerry Jones and Company have made it pretty clear Williams is a priority to re-sign, and getting a jumpstart on contract negotiations so quickly is a good sign both parties can come together to agree upon terms."
"Odds are, the Cowboys willingness to quickly start negotiation with Williams' reps so early after the end of the season will equate to a long-term extension. But, there remains the possibility that for whatever reason both parties are unable to work things out. That means the Cowboys would have to look elsewhere, whether it be in free agency for the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft."
"Considering the Cowboys don't have a second- or third-round pick this year, and the fact the 2026 RB draft class seems to be a weak one, Dallas may need to explore the RB market in free agency if they need to find a replacement for Javonte Williams. Fortunately for them, there are a number of options who could pique their interest and a few who could quite possibly be upgrades."
Contract negotiations between the Dallas Cowboys and running back Javonte Williams began immediately after the season, signaling a priority to re-sign him and a likely long-term extension. If negotiations fail, Dallas would need to seek a replacement through free agency or the 2026 NFL Draft. The team lacks second- and third-round picks and the 2026 running back class appears weak, increasing the importance of free-agent options. A list of ten top free-agent running backs includes both breakaway speed backs like Breece Hall, Kenneth Walker, Isah Pacheco, Travis Etienne and Williams-style options such as Rico Dowdle, Rachaad White, Brian Robinson, and Tyler Allgeier.
