After the Detroit Lions agreed to terms with running back David Montgomery, the writing was on the wall for free agent Jamaal Williams. On Wednesday evening, the inevitable became true. According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Williams is signing a three-year deal with the New Orleans Saints.
Williams was the emotional heart of the Lions for the past two seasons, showing what it means to be a tough worker and unapologetically himself. He was front and center during the training camp documentary “Hard Knocks,” rallying the troops on the field.
