The Detroit Lions made a somewhat surprising move in the dead of night Wednesday morning. When I said dead of night, I mean directly after everyone at Pride Of Detroit and the Lions beat had gone to sleep. Okay, fine! It was after only I went to sleep. Totally classic stuff.
The Detroit Lions inked former Packers running back Jamaal Williams to a two-year deal worth $7 million—and with just a $1.625 million cap hit in Year 1.
Signing a running back didn’t seem like it would be something on the Lions radar this offseason, especially when the team has so many holes and they still have Kerryon Johnson.
