Veteran RB Jamaal Williams Could Reunite with Ben Johnson and the Bears in 2025
Jamaal Williams, a so-called veteran running back, was with the New Orleans Saints in 2024. Let’s be honest, he was just another name on the roster. The Saints decided to cut him loose in March 2025, and who can blame them? He was set to earn $1.59 million, but for what? Mediocre performances and a lack of impact.
Now, there’s talk of him reuniting with Ben Johnson and the Bears. Why? Because the NFL loves a good reunion story, even if it doesn’t make sense. Williams might have had a decent season or two in the past, but let’s not pretend he’s the answer to the Bears’ problems.
The Bears need more than nostalgia and past connections to fix their issues. They need players who can actually perform on the field, not just show up for a paycheck. If Williams wants to prove he’s still got it, he better show some real hunger and determination, not just rely on past glories and friendships.
In the end, this is just another example of the NFL’s obsession with hype and headlines over substance. If Williams wants to be more than a footnote in the league, he needs to step up and deliver. Otherwise, it’s just another pointless reunion that won’t change a thing.
