Yes, the Cowboys absolutely did. Javonte Williams signed a three-year, $24 million deal in the 2026 offseason after his breakout 2025 season as Dallas' feature back (from the Javonte Williams page).
A few notes on the contract:
- Sal Vetri noted it's technically a three-year deal, but with a structure similar to the Stefon Diggs contract — Dallas can get out after one year for $14M if they want ().
- The Fantasy Headliners pointed out the team focused heavily on defense this offseason, and if that unit improves (they were dead last in scoring defense in 2025), it keeps the Cowboys out of shootouts — which only helps Williams' workload ().
Bottom line: he's locked in as the Cowboys' workhorse, though the team is actively looking for a legitimate No. 2 RB to preserve his health after 287 carries last year.
