Jamaal Williams is leaving the Packers, but he’s not going far.
The running back has signed with the Detroit Lions on a two-year deal worth up to $7.5 million, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero has reported.
Last year with the Packers behind Aaron Jones, Williams ran for 505 yards and added another 236 receiving.
The Packers were already prepared for this move considering they drafted AJ Dillon in the second round last season.
Detroit is an interesting team when it comes to the running back position. D’Andre Swift is the clear RB1 there after coming on strong last season. However, the team also has Kerryon Johnson. You wonder if Johnson could be on the move via trade. Or, the team could elect to have all three on the roster. They did the same last season with Adrian Peterson on the roster.
