Senior RB Jamaal Williams can reunite with Ben Johnson and The Bears in 2025
In 2024, RB Jamaal Williams is a member of the Saints of New Orleans. He published it in 2025 for $1.59 million. However, the Saints released Williams in March after two seasons with New Orleans.
The 2025 NFL season is two and a half months away. The team will stay for a few weeks until the start of the camp. Now is the time for players, coaches and front desk to relax. Additionally, the superiors will evaluate the lineup and determine where to upgrade. Bear insider Mike Pendleton reports Chicago can sign Jamaal Williams. First-year head coach Ben Johnson is Williams’ offensive coordinator in Detroit.
Will Jamaal Williams sign with the Bears in the offseason?

In the roster entering the 2025 season, the Bears have two RBSs since the 2024 season. D’Andre Swift started all 17 games for Chicago in 2024, with Roschon Johnson as his backup. In the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Bears chose Rutgers’ Kyle Monangi. In addition, the team also owns Travis Homer. Despite the depth, Bears insider Mike Pendleton reported that the team could add veterans in the backcourt.
During the offseason, Chicago was linked to several free agents, Sugar RENT. These include Nick Chubb, who signed with the Houston Texan. No player has a stronger connection to the Bears coaching staff than veteran Jamaal Williams. He was released by the Saints in March and is a free agent in 2025. Williams’ most productive season in the NFL was with former Lions OC Ben Johnson, who is now the head coach of the Bears. This makes it easy for Chicago to fit Williams if the parties reach an agreement.
In 2022, Jamaal Williams rushed to a career-high 1,066 yards and a league-leading 17 rushing touchdown. Another reason Williams will fit seamlessly with the bear is his connection to D’Andre Swift. They shared two seasons in Detroit. Jamaal Williams will be the bear’s insurance. In 2024, he appeared in 20% of the team’s offenses that season. We have to wait to see if Chicago takes action and sign Williams in the 2025 season.
