Cowboys Put Javonte Williams at Top of Offseason List, Begin Multi‑Year Contract Talks

Cap constraints plus outside interest could determine whether Dallas retains its breakout rusher.

Overview

  • EVP Stephen Jones said re-signing Javonte Williams is a top priority and that the team wants a multi-year deal.
  • Dallas has already contacted Williams’ representatives to initiate negotiations on a new contract.
  • Williams, 25, delivered a career-best 1,201 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns in 2025 after joining on a one-year deal.
  • He is set to become an unrestricted free agent this spring, and a competitive market is expected for his services.
  • Roster and budget considerations remain factors, with outside estimates projecting roughly three years and $22 million and Williams previously expressing openness to staying for less.
