Pro Bowl running back Kyren Williams and the Los Angeles Rams agreed to a three-year, $33 million contract extension with $23 million guaranteed, multiple media outlets reported Tuesday.
The deal makes Williams the seventh highest-paid running back in the NFL based on new money per season. He was set to enter the final season of his rookie contract with a base salary of $5.35 million, per Spotrac.
Williams, 24, made a huge impact in 2024, recording career highs in carries (316), rushing yards (1,299) and rushing touchdowns (14).
He has rushed for 2,582 yards and totaled 31 touchdowns (26 rushing, five receiving) in 38 games since being selected by the Rams in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
Last season, Williams became the third Rams player age 24 or younger to have at least 27 scrimmage touchdowns in a two-year span. He joined Todd Gurley (40, 2017-18) and Hall of Fame member Eric Dickerson (34, 1983-84) on the short list.
