Fureys49ers Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 They can never just let a young man have this job all to himself can they? Frustrating fantasy owners everywhere 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWood21 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 That’s a LOT of coin for a backup RB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great get for the Lions. Really upset Seattle didn’t move on this at that price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fantasy player I’m upset, if I’m a lions fan looking at this move I’m pretty happy. A good RB for pretty cheap to help keep Swift healthy and fresh.

Cheesehead430 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Solid player, great locker room guy. Wish he wasn't staying I'm the division but hope he has a couple good seasons except against us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 This likely means Adrian Peterson isn't coming back. Although at 35, he might be done anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Jamal Williams. If you need 2 yards, he will give you 2.5. If you need 4 yards, he will give you 2.5. And that isn't a knock on him. He just isn't a gamebreaker. But he is very, very solid. Great receiver. Great blocker. Unreal team guy with his personality. Rarely injured. Lions are getting a quality player there who can backup the RB position and spot start when needed. Just don't expect any "special" out of his runs. Do expect "special" in every other facet of the game. Insane intangibles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpulse Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Honestly this move just strikes me as Swift insurance. I would be shocked if he has a significant role other than spelling Swift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latavius Murray was the highest paid "backup" RB in the NFL,a nd he's making $3.5M/year. This was elite backup RB money. I just personally believe you could have drafted someone in Round 3-5 who could do the same job Williams does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its how fa works and until we know the guarantees its almost impossible to say if this is good or bad. Id also argue the term "backup rb" is relative to player and system. If Williams is going to get north of 135-140 touches, then him being a "back up" is kind of irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
