Running back Jamaal Williams is leaving the Green Bay Packers but staying in the NFC North.
According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, Williams is set to sign a two-year deal worth up to $7.5 million with the Detroit Lions.
With Aaron Jones signing an extension with the Packers, Williams is heading out to get a chance at a greater role in Detroit. Williams has rushed for between 460-556 yards in each of his four seasons with Green Bay, including 10 total rushing touchdowns over that span. He’s also been productive as a receiver, catching 122 passes for 961 yards and eight touchdowns.
Williams joins D'Andre Swift and Kerryon Johnson as running backs under contract for 2021 with the Lions.
