The Dallas Cowboys reached agreement on a one-year, $3 million deal with free agent running back Javonte Williams, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.
Rico Dowdle, who led the Cowboys with 1,079 rushing yards last season, is a free agent.
Williams, a second-round draft pick of the Denver Broncos in 2021, saw his role diminish some over the last two seasons. He still led the team in carries (139) and rushing yards (513) in 2024, but he also got caught up in a Broncos running game that coach Sean Payton had called frustrating overall with the team unable to find the "right'' rotation among its backs.
