The New Orleans Saints have released running back Jamaal Williams, marking a pivotal move as they aim to clear over $40 million for salary cap compliance ahead of the new NFL league year. This decision will save the team $1.59 million against the cap but incur $2.34 million in dead money. Signed to a three-year, $8 million contract in 2023, Williams' performance poorly contrasted his prior season with Detroit, where he excelled. His underwhelming play, compounded by Alvin Kamara's contract extension, made Williams expendable as the Saints navigate their financial strategy.
