Just Want A Title Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 It is good to see such a player like Jamal Williams get recognition. He is a tough, hard-nosed runner and a good leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superduperman Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 They must bring him back and I'm confident they will. You're gonna have to pay him decently, but that's the way it goes, when you score 17 tds you get a raise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is about to be 28 years old, and has one year of production like this. Sportrac projects him to make 4.1M this year which seems about right for RBs similar to him in production and age in previous years. Not to mention the RB market will be flooded with Barkley, Jacobs, Kareem Hunt, Penny, Sanders, Foreman, Montgomery, Perine, Singletary, Harris, Mattison, Pollard, and Robinson.

I'd say 2 years, $9M and structure it so he gets most of that money this year OR go with your 3 year idea where it's really a 2 year deal but flattened out a bit. I love Jamaal but he'd be in his 30's by then and he's already not a super explosive player to begin with. I would 100% want to have him around the facility in some capacity afterwards.

He'd be exactly 30 through a 3 year deal. He hasn't had a lot of carries in his career and yes, he's not explosive, which means his career should last longer since explosive backs tend to diminish in value once their burst is lost.

He's going to be 28 in April. So he'd be 31 by the end of a 3 year deal. I still think we should be frontloading whatever deal it is given the propensity of RB's to drop off at 30. Pay him while he's productive and contributing, let it taper off when he may not be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, next year is his age 28 season, followed by 29 and 30 at the end of year 3. Not that it matters much. He's not going to nose dive. His game isn't predicated on play that drops suddenly.

I get your point in terms of his play but for all intents and purposes, he's going to be a nearly 31 year old RB by that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HashtagFTW Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I'm prolly in the minority here, but I don't think his season was that impressive. I love his attitude and leadership, but he's the second best RB on the roster and there's prolly 15-20 RBs in the NFL that would have had the same production he had in the same situation.
