He signed a two-year deal with the lions for only 6 million total and he's a solid pass blocker: his pass blocking grade was 72 last year, Mixon's was 34, and Perine's was 73, but Williams was graded in the high 80s in Green Bay before he went to Detroit.
He had over a thousand yards last season and averaged 4.1 YPC.
We're apparently one of three main teams that's interested in him and his expected contract is around two years at 8.4 million total, so that's a big relief from Mixon and Williams can pass block.
SIGN HIM!
Seems a bit steep, was hearing a more fair deal for Jamaal before. But this is more likely now that Samaje is gone.
We don't have much pass pro help with just Trayveon showing a few good blocks last year. Mixon is terrible in pass pro, so this is a need.

Williams might be better in pass protection than Mixon but he isnt as good running the ball. Yes I know Mixon averaged 0.2 less yards a carry but Williams had a better line. I dont think its a good idea to spend 4 million per year on Williams
Yes, would rather have Swift, much more talented runner and a way better pass catcher, but he has had problems staying healthy.
But hey, that might mean we can get him for cheaper who knows. How does Swift pass block compared to Williams?
