After a standout season in 2022, there are a bunch of teams who would love to have Jamaal Williams.

According to Go Long’s Tyler Dunne, the New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, and Cincinnati Bengals are “very interested” in signing the dynamic running back this offseason. However, he added that Williams and the Lions are interested in keeping their relationship together.

Free agency nugget to pass along. There’s mutual interest in Jamaal Williams returning to Detroit, but a source told me today that Buffalo, Cincinnati and the New York Jets are all very interested in the running back.

Williams led the NFL with 17 rushing TDs last year.

The Bills are set to lose leading rusher Devin Singletary to free agency while the Bengals RB Samaje Perine is a pending free agent and there’s some doubt about RB Joe Mixon‘s status for 2023.

As for the Jets, Williams could see himself reunite with OC Nathaniel Hackett, who coached him when he was with the Packers. He might even share a backfield with Aaron Rodgers.

The 27-year-old was outstanding last year as he scored a league-leading 17 touchdowns last year. He also recorded 262 rushing attempts for 1066 yards. In the air, he grabbed 12 receptions for 73 yards (6.1 YPC) and no touchdowns.
