FREE AGENCY ROUNDUP: JAVONTE WILLIAMS, JOURDAN LEWIS, AND MORE BIG MOVES!
NFL free agency is in full swing, with teams making significant roster changes ahead of the 2025 season. From major signings to key depth acquisitions, here’s a comprehensive look at the latest moves shaping the league.
JAVONTE WILLIAMS SIGNS WITH THE COWBOYS
The Dallas Cowboys have reinforced their backfield by signing former Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams to a one-year contract worth up to $3.5 million, including incentives. Williams, known for his powerful running style and ability to break tackles, brings a much-needed physical presence to Dallas’ rushing attack. Despite previous injury concerns, the Cowboys are optimistic about his ability to contribute significantly in the upcoming season.
JOURDAN LEWIS JOINS THE JAGUARS
The Jacksonville Jaguars have strengthened their secondary by signing veteran cornerback Jourdan Lewis to a three-year, $30 million contract, with $20 million guaranteed. This deal makes Lewis the highest-paid nickel cornerback in the NFL. After eight seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, where he recorded 10 interceptions, 9.5 sacks, and 44 passes defensed in 115 games, Lewis brings experience and aggressive coverage skills to a Jaguars defense looking to solidify its backfield.
OTHER NOTABLE SIGNINGS:
- Dyami Brown to the Jaguars – Jacksonville continues to enhance its roster by signing former Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown to a one-year, $10 million contract. Brown is expected to add depth and speed to the Jaguars’ receiving corps.
- Patrick Mekari to the Jaguars – The Jaguars have also secured versatile offensive lineman Patrick Mekari on a three-year deal worth up to $37.5 million. Mekari’s ability to play multiple positions along the offensive line will be a valuable asset for Jacksonville.
- Chuma Edoga to the Jaguars – Further strengthening their offensive line, the Jaguars signed tackle Chuma Edoga to a two-year contract. Edoga’s experience at both tackle and guard positions provides additional flexibility to Jacksonville’s offensive front.
With teams continuing to reshape their rosters, expect more headline-grabbing moves in the coming days. Free agency remains one of the most exciting times in the NFL offseason, and fans can anticipate further surprises as franchises make strategic investments for the 2025 season.
