Cowboys secure Javonte Williams long-term before running back market rises

This decision has proven timely as the running back market surged this week with lucrative extensions for Bijan Robinson, Jonathan Taylor, and Jahmyr Gibbs. Williams, who accumulated over 1,200 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns last season, remains a key asset for the Cowboys. His contract now stands in stark contrast to those of his peers, highlighting the Cowboys' foresight in player management.
