Overview
- Dallas announced a three-year, $24 million deal with Williams that includes $16 million guaranteed and a reported $6 million signing bonus.
- The move keeps Williams from reaching unrestricted free agency when the market opens on March 11.
- Contract talks had briefly paused after Williams changed agents, then were finalized by Nicole Lynn of Klutch Sports.
- Williams earned the commitment with a 2025 breakout: 1,201 rushing yards, 11 touchdowns on 252 carries, plus 35 receptions for 137 yards.
- The deal tightens short‑term cap space—Spotrac had Dallas over the 2026 cap before this contract—as focus shifts to a likely George Pickens franchise tag by March 3 and defensive upgrades at the combine and in the draft.
