Kyren Williams Eyes Rams Contract Extension, Says It Will 'Happen Eventually'

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams is confident that he will receive a contract extension at some point, and he's in no rush to force the issue.

Williams told Gary Klein of the L.A. Times that he's "feeling good" about contract negotiations with the Rams.

"I know with time it’s going to happen," Williams said during a charity event where he helped distribute new shoes to children affected by the Eaton Fire.

Williams, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract, has rushed for over 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns in each of the last two seasons. While he's hoping that would be enough to earn a new deal before the start of the 2025 campaign, he said he wouldn't mind if he had to play out the year and prove his worth.

"I would love for it to get done so I can take care of my family and the loved ones that helped me get here," he said. "I’ve always got trust in God. Whether it happens now or I play out the season, I know it’s going to happen eventually."

The Rams had a busy offseason that included a contract adjustment for quarterback Matthew Stafford, the signing of star receiver Davante Adams and the re-signing of left tackle Alaric Jackson.

A new deal for Williams should be next on the agenda for Los Angeles as it prepares to make another run toward title contention this year.
