FRISCO, Texas -- Of the unrestricted free agents the Dallas Cowboys signed during the offseason, there is no question Javonte Williams has been their best.
After five games, he is third in the NFL with 447 rushing yards and tied for second with five rushing touchdowns on 79 carries. He has also caught 17 passes for 78 yards and a touchdown. While quarterback Dak Prescott is the Cowboys' most valuable and most important player, Williams' play is a big reason why the Cowboys (2-2-1) have such a productive offense.
He is on a one-year contract that could pay him up to $3.5 million. He received a $1 million bonus, a $1.5 million base salary that is fully guaranteed and can make up to $500,000 in active roster bonuses. If the Cowboys make the playoffs and he reaches 1,200 combined yards
