The Denver Broncos have lost four in-house free agents to other teams this week, including running back Javonte Williams, who agreed to a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys.
Here’s a sampling of how fans and pundits reacted to the Williams news on Twitter/X.
Never was really realistic that Javonte Williams would return to #Broncos. They will bring in a running back to compete for the starting job and they’re not going to cut Jaleel McLaughlin or Audric Estime so wouldn’t be any room for him. https://t.co/vyWmr3WQql

Javonte Williams had one of the best games of his career at AT&T Stadium, rushing 17 times for a career-high 111 yards as a rookie in a 30-16 win in 2021. Now, he’s headed to Dallas full-time. https://t.co/G1zI0fDC8X

I don’t mind Javonte Williams at that price. Still need to draft a back early. Williams fell out of favor for Estime and McLaughlin last year in Denver.

The Cowboys bringing in Javonte Williams (who hasn’t been the same since his injury a few years ago) to replace Rico Dowdle.
If only there were someone like Rico Dowdle available to fill that role…

Javonte Williams is genuinely one of my favorite players ever, if it wasn’t for that gruesome leg injury I think we’d be talking about him as one of the best backs in football right now. Not sure if he’ll ever be the same guy but I can’t believe he’s a Cowboy. pic.twitter.com/DB5cjsQUwv

Former #Broncos starter lands in Dallas. Hoping he regains his rookie form. Did tremendous work in community. Made inspiring comeback from knee injury in 2023. But never really gained traction last season. He is strong in pass pro and should have role as a third down back https://t.co/3nrOLRUzM4

Rooting hard for Javonte Williams with the Cowboys

The Broncos will now move forward with Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime. Denver will likely add at least one running back in the NFL draft as well.
