Overview
- After a one-year, $3 million deal, Williams delivered 1,201 rushing yards and 13 total touchdowns for Dallas in 2025.
- Multiple outlets project strong outside interest in the unrestricted free agent rather than a return to the Cowboys.
- Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay cites the New York Jets as a leading suitor and estimates a possible three-year, $20 million contract.
- Dallas is projected to be well over the 2026 salary cap, limiting flexibility for a sizable multi-year offer to a running back.
- Evaluations will factor Williams’ recent shoulder issue and his 2022 knee injuries, while Dallas is linked to lower-cost options such as J. K. Dobbins.
