Kyren Williams News: Agrees to three-year extension

Williams and the Rams agreed to terms Tuesday on a three-year, $33 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Williams had been heading into the final year of his rookie contract, but the 2022 fifth-round pick is now locked in through 2028, with $23 million of the deal guaranteed. Coming off back-to-back campaigns with more than 1,000 rushing yards, Williams remains atop the backfield depth chart and has proven to be a tremendous fit for coach Sean McVay's offense, with that workhorse role translating into 31 total touchdowns across the last two years. With his contract situation resolved, Williams is one of the safest RB options available in the early rounds of fantasy drafts, due to his chances of leading the league in carries.
