Javonte Williams re-signs with the Dallas Cowboys on a three-year, $24 million deal. NFL Media reports the move solidifies the Cowboys' backfield. Williams, who joined Dallas last offseason on a one-year contract, rushed for a career-high 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, averaging 4.8 yards per carry. He played a crucial role in a Dallas offense that ranked ninth in the NFL for rushing yards per game at 125.6. This decision marks a shift in strategy for the Cowboys, who have let their lead running backs leave in free agency the past two offseasons. The team faces challenges, as they have a losing record and missed the playoffs in the last two years. With the Cowboys over the salary cap, they also hold the No. 12 and 20 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, while several key players enter free agency.
