Jamaal Williams to Saints

The Cincinnati Bengals had a huge hole at the backup running back spot after Samaje Perine went to the Denver Broncos.

Unfortunately, that won't be Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams. He is officially headed to New Orleans Saints. This is just another veteran marked off the ever-shortening list of running backs available. It’s becoming crucial they land someone with Joe Mixon's tenure with the team up in the air as well.

Williams inked a three-year deal worth $12 million, which seems team-friendly, but the $8 million in guarantees is likely too much for their taste.
