Cowboys and Running Back Javonte Williams Agree on $24 Million, 3-Year Contract
- On Feb. 21, 2026, the Dallas Cowboys agreed to a three-year, $24 million extension with running back Javonte Williams, announcing the deal on their website Saturday with $16 million guaranteed, ESPN reported.
- Wanting to preserve the Dallas Cowboys offense under Dak Prescott and Brian Schottenheimer, Stephen Jones said last month Williams was 'at the top of our list' for a multi-year deal, which was finalized after a delayed agent switch.
- Rushing for 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2025, Williams produced career-best numbers on 252 carries while adding 35 receptions for 137 yards.
- With Williams' deal done, the Cowboys can focus their cap and negotiation attention on George Pickens, who faces a March 3 franchise-tag deadline and a July 15 contract window.
- The contract's $8 million AAV places Williams alongside D'Andre Swift on RB pay charts amid a stingy running back market; he has earned about $13.4 million in five seasons.
