The Dallas Cowboys may be 2-2-1, but the team has been firing on all cylinders on the offensive side of the ball.

One of the biggest acquisitions the Cowboys made prior to this season was the signing of running back Javonte Williams.

During his media availability, Williams was asked about his free agency talks with the Cowboys. The new Dallas running back didn't hide from how he really felt.
