The Dallas Cowboys have secured running back Javonte Williams with a three-year, $24 million contract extension after his breakout season. Williams led the team in rushing with over 1,200 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2024.
Dallas has made their first major move of the offseason by securing the services of their top ground game performer.
The Cowboys announced Saturday that running back Javonte Williams has agreed to a three-year contract extension worth $24 million.
The 25-year-old Williams joined Dallas on a one-year, $3 million contract last offseason following four seasons with the Denver Broncos.
Williams justified the investment by posting career-high numbers with 1,201 rushing yards, ranking ninth across the NFL, along with 11 rushing touchdowns over 16 games. Those totals exceeded his combined production from the previous two seasons, when he accumulated 1,287 rushing yards and seven touchdowns across 33 contests.
Dallas ranked ninth in the league for ground attack efficiency, averaging 125.6 rushing yards per contest with a 4.6-yard average per attempt, largely due to Williams’ contributions.
Throughout his five-year professional career spanning 70 games with 45 starts, Williams has accumulated 3,595 rushing yards and 22 rushing touchdowns, while also contributing 1,103 receiving yards and seven receiving scores through the air.
Having secured Williams’ services, Dallas can now turn their attention to negotiations with star receiver George Pickens, whose current contract is set to expire.
