Re: Jonathan Williams released
Williams was only the clear backup going into the pre-season and that was because he was the number three and the number two left. He earned nothing. In the third preseason game, it was reported that he was held out, but the gamelogs show him having played two snaps on offense and nine on special teams. Could be that the writing was on the wall at that point.

Re: Jonathan Williams released
dynastyleaguefootball) Jonathan Williams was signed by Denver and added to their practice squad.
Analysis: Williams reportedly got more than $500,000 to sign on and that's a hefty sum for a practice squad player. His value is in the tank right now as he cleared waivers without a single team making a claim for him. Still, he'll get a chance if a team has an injury at the position or if Denver wants to bring him on to see what he can do. CJ Anderson is locked in as the Broncos starter and the combination of Jamaal Charles, Devontae Booker and DeAngelo Henderson currently back him up. Booker and Charles have injury history and Henderson is unproven, so this could add some depth to the running back corps. Still, Williams' dynasty value is in the tank.

Re: Jonathan Williams released
Why did I read the Broncos paid him $500,000 to sign on to the practice squad. Do teams give bonuses that large for practice squad players? Hmmm. Maybe they don't have faith in Charles, Anderson or Booker staying healthy.

Re: Jonathan Williams released
I think he might have had offers from other teams (probably the Jets or Bears or Chargers) and with both CJ and Jamaal not under contract after this year they probably wanted to lock him up to possibly activate him at the end of the season as a depth piece for next year or even this year while Booker is out, he's one of the few backs that made it threw waiver that wasn't a rookie, wouldn't count on him doing anything this year or even next year honestlyberserkers wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2017 3:45 am Why did I read the Broncos paid him $500,000 to sign on to the practice squad.

Re: Jonathan Williams released
This is the highest amount ever paid for a practice squad player. But it's not all that much in terms of a football team, the salary cap is $167 million (which this doesn't count towards). So, why not?
Re: Jonathan Williams released
This may come as a shock but practice squad players, much like IR/PUP/NFI list players, actually do count against the salary cap.
Re: Jonathan Williams released
Means to me he'll be on the active roster soon, probably within the first few weeks of the season.berserkers wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2017 3:45 am Why did I read the Broncos paid him $500,000 to sign on to the practice squad.

They can always do a little shuffling with the active roster at any position to cover for another, especially after early season injury, suspension, etc. fallout.

Signed to the Saints. I'm sure there's not really much to see here, though.
