This looks like the Zeke signing last year. Look at Williams yds per carry over last two seasons. 3.6 and 3,7 last two years. Ouch.

No knock on Williams but he had a horrific knee injury a couple of years ago and he hasn’t been the same since.

This is Zeke 2.0 (as in the 2024 version of Zeke)

 

[Chasing6]

What an absolute trash signing.

Well if he can be an effective short yardage back, pass block and be effective in the passing game, he might be useful.

Not really sure why Luepke can't do that though.

 

[Chasing6]

I think the Jones' actually being active, is more exciting than the actually signing itself.

 

[Chuck 54]

I’m just sick of these 1 year vet prove it signings. In my mind, these 1 year contracts are for teams competing at the top and simply adding depth.

 

[SwagSurfer]

This is a mid signing. This front office continues to piss me off.

 

[RonWashington]

Javonte's a really talented guy who got sapped by injury. He's a fringe NFLer at this point, but the Joneses are probably going to strap him up for 100 touches.

When you listen to Schott go on and on about running the football how does a downgrade from Dowdle fit those plans ?

 

[Rayman70]

Signing a RB won't preclude us from drafting another one. It's just odd that out of all our needs, RB was the first thing we signed . Wouldn't be shocked if we bring back Linval Joseph. He wasn't bad. Justin Rogers kid might turn into something with reps. Again, where are the Dawgs on the dline?

 

[Rayman70]

This is a mid signing. This front office continues to piss me off.

They act like we are a poorly funded subsidized soup kitchen

 

[RonWashington]

To me this screams Ashton Jeanty round one if he’s still available to Dallas . Williams is a guy you bring to camp that’s all .

 

[gimmesix]

That fits what I expected, around $3 million for our FA fixes.

 

[beware_d-ware]

To me this screams Ashton Jeanty round one if he’s still available to Dallas . Williams is a guy you bring to camp that’s all .

Yep. He looks like this year's Ronald Jones.

 

[RonWashington]

Yep. He looks like this year's Ronald Jones.

Royce Freeman

 

[gimmesix]

He's had a Zeke like yards per carry the last two seasons.

I guess the only positive about that is that he hasn't been in the league long enough to be as worn down as Zeke was. Of course, that may just mean, he's not that good with full tread.

 

[gimmesix]

To me this screams Ashton Jeanty round one if he’s still available to Dallas . Williams is a guy you bring to camp that’s all .

As much as I like that, I don't buy it. I think they'll use Williams as an excuse for not having to take a back early. They view these cheap players they get that way.

 

[JW82]

If Henry and Sequon had a kid, it would be Williams!

 

[gimmesix]

The positive here is that we actually did something on the first day of legal tampering. It may not change our cheapness, but at least we're not on vacation.

 

[Coogiguy03]

HERE WE GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Told ya

 

[Whyjerry]

The good old 1 year deal. These guys are a clown car front office.

 

[Coogiguy03]

For the first half of the season last year, he was money in short yarded situation

We like to pass and make penalties in the red zone where he really could be used
