Javonte Williams Closing In on a Huge Cowboys Payday
So let’s talk about Javonte Williams, because this story has been building all season, and now it’s reaching a really exciting point. The Dallas Cowboys brought him in on a simple one-year, $3 million deal—pretty modest for a starting running back by today’s standards. But what he’s done since arriving in Arlington has been nothing short of impressive. In fact, you could say he’s completely flipped expectations on their head.
In his first season with Dallas, Williams has essentially produced a career year. He came into the Thanksgiving matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs already on pace to pass the numbers he posted during his rookie season in Denver back in 2021—a season people thought might be tough to top. Through 11 games, he’s logged 181 carries for 896 rushing yards and a career-best eight touchdowns. And it doesn’t stop there. He’s contributed as a receiver too, pulling in 28 passes for 107 yards and another score. That versatility has been a major reason why the Cowboys’ offense has been considered one of the best in the league this year.

And here’s where it gets even more interesting. Williams isn’t just playing for a new contract—although he’s certainly earned one, whether that comes from Dallas or another team—he’s also right on the verge of earning a major bonus this season. According to Spotrac, he’s set to receive $500,000 if he reaches 12 total touchdowns and 1,250 scrimmage yards. At this point, he needs only three more touchdowns and 247 additional yards. With the way he’s been producing, those targets feel totally within reach.
He’s got upcoming games against the Chiefs and Lions, both of which present opportunities for big yardage. And if he keeps up this pace, there’s a real chance he could trigger those incentives before the Week 15 home matchup against the Minnesota Vikings even arrives. It’s possible this bonus money gets locked in well ahead of schedule.
What stands out most is how stable his role has become. Williams has settled in as the Cowboys’ clear bell-cow back—the guy they trust to handle the workload, control the tempo, and punch in those crucial red-zone touches. When the Cowboys kick off each week, there’s no doubt about who’s anchoring the backfield.
So as the playoff race tightens and Dallas continues pushing to stay among the NFC’s elite, Javonte Williams is not only delivering on expectations—he’s completely redefining them. And if he keeps running the way he has been, that $500,000 bonus may just be the first of many big paydays coming his way.
