The deal will include $101 million in guaranteed compensation, with $63.35 million guaranteed at signing. According to reports, Williams will also receive a signing bonus of $31.85 million. The average salary of $35.3 million is the second highest in the NFL for a defensive tackle.
Last season, the Cowboys acquired Williams from the New York Jets at the trade deadline for a second-round pick in 2026, a first-round pick in 2027, and defensive tackle Mazi Smith.
In a year where players are seeing massive contract numbers, Williams will now become the fourth defensive tackle to agree to a deal worth more than $30 million. The Philadelphia Eagles agreed on an extension worth $38 million annually. The Tennessee Titans agreed to terms with Jeffery Simmons on a deal of $35.2 million annually, and Chris Jones of the Kansas City Chiefs will average $31.75 million annually.
