Packers lose RB Jamaal Williams to division rival Lions

Former #Packers RB Jamaal Williams is signing a two-year deal worth up to $7.5 million with the #Lions, per source.

Jamaal Williams is staying in the NFC North, meaning the Green Bay Packers will play their former running back twice a year.

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Williams and the Detroit Lions agreed to a two-year deal worth up to $7.5 million on Tuesday night.

A fourth-round pick of the Packers in 2017, Williams ended up as the odd man out after Green Bay re-signed Aaron Jones to a four-year deal before the start of the legal tampering period.
