Last week, running back Javonte Williams re-signed with the Cowboys. It\u2019s been called a three-year, $24 million deal.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve gotten more information about the contract. Here are the full details, per a source with knowledge of the terms.<\/p>\n
1. Signing bonus: $6 million.<\/p>\n
2. 2026 base salary: $1.75 million, fully guaranteed.<\/p>\n
3. 2026 per-game active roster bonus: $1 million, fully guaranteed but must be earned.<\/p>\n
4. 2027 base salary: $6.25 million, fully guaranteed.<\/p>\n
5. 2027 per-game active roster bonus: $1 million, fully guaranteed but must be earned.<\/p>\n
6. 2028 base salary: $7 million.<\/p>\n
7. 2028 per-game active roster bonus: $1 million.<\/p>\n
The contract also includes de-escalators based on the failure to participate in the required percentage of offseason workouts. It\u2019s a common term in Cowboys contracts.<\/p>\n
While per-game roster bonuses typically are included in the calculation of base pay, $1 million per year is a large amount that is tied to being in uniform every week. For each game Williams misses over the next three years, he\u2019ll lose $58,823.<\/p>\n
It will be interesting to compare the Williams deal to the other running back contracts to come. Our guess? Some will be better, and some will be not as good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last week, running back Javonte Williams re-signed with the Cowboys.
