AI-Generated Deep Dive Summary
Javonte Williams has re-signed with the Dallas Cowboys on a three-year deal worth $24 million, including $16 million guaranteed, securing his future with the team through 2027. This move comes despite a strong free agent class headlined by Kenneth Walker III, Breece Hall, and Travis Etienne, none of whom will be joining the Cowboys. Williams, who turned 26 in April, had a solid yet inconsistent 2025 season, finishing as the No. 12 PPR running back with 15.2 points per game. He accumulated 252 carries for 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns, along with 35 catches for 137 yards and two touchdowns on 51 targets.
Williams excelled early in his first season with Dallas, scoring at least 17.9 PPR points in six of his first eight games and averaging 18.6 PPR points over that span. However, he struggled in the second half, averaging just 11.
