FRISCO, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys made it clear they aren’t looking for answers at running back anytime soon
The team has agreed to terms on a three-year, $24 million contract extension with running back Javonte Williams, solidifying its commitment to the power back as a key piece of the offense moving forward.
Williams, who brought a physical edge to the Cowboys’ backfield, now has long-term security — and Dallas has stability at one of the league’s most demanding positions.
The extension signals confidence in Williams’ ability to anchor the ground attack and shoulder a heavy workload. His downhill style and ability to finish runs have given the Cowboys a tone-setting presence, something the coaching staff values in high-leverage situations.
By investing $24 million over three seasons, the front office is betting on durability and production. The move also provides continuity for an offense that has emphasized balance and physicality.
For Dallas, this wasn’t just about numbers. It was about identity.
And with Williams now secured, the Cowboys’ plans in the backfield are crystal clear.
