"Given the position he plays and the value of the Cowboys brass has placed on the position recently, it doesn't bode well that Javonte Williams will be part of the organization beyond the 2025 season. He's been one of the more productive running backs this year, which might have pushed his market value out of the range the Cowboys are comfortable spending on the position."
"As of right now, Williams' projected annual salary on an extension is approximately $6.7 million according to spotrac.com. The Cowboys haven't spent that kind of money at RB since they used the franchise tag on Tony Pollard and before that the long-term extension they gave Ezekiel Elliott. After those two they went the cheap route with Rico Dowdle in 2024 and Javonte Williams this year."
The 44-30 loss to the Detroit Lions leaves the Cowboys' playoff chances extremely slim and shifts focus toward future roster decisions. Pending free agents like George Pickens and Javonte Williams become priorities to evaluate heading into the offseason. Javonte Williams developed into a pleasant surprise and an important offensive contributor during the season, but his projected extension value of about $6.7 million could exceed the Cowboys' comfort level for the running back position. Recent team history shows preference for lower-cost running back options after higher spending on Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott.
