Saints release underachieving RB Jamaal Williams
March 4 - The New Orleans Saints released running back Jamaal Williams on Tuesday, reportedly clearing $1.59 million in salary cap space.
Williams signed a three-year, $12 million deal with the Saints after having a career season with the Detroit Lions in 2022.
But his production was meager in 27 games (five starts) with New Orleans. Williams had just 470 rushing yards and two touchdowns and caught 27 passes for 119 yards.
Last season, Williams had 164 yards and one touchdown on the ground and nine receptions for 57 yards in 14 games (one start).
In 2022, Williams rushed for 1,066 yards and an NFL-high 17 rushing touchdowns with the Lions before becoming a free agent.
Williams, who turns 30 next month, has rushed for 4,122 yards and 32 touchdowns and caught 187 passes for 1,310 yards and eight TDs in 117 games (45 starts) with the Green Bay Packers (2017-20), Lions (2021-22) and Saints.

BREAKING NEWS Explosive report claims angry Pat McAfee banned Adam Schefter from his ESPN show
Pat McAfee reportedly banned NFL insider Adam Schefter from his show after his ESPN colleague snubbed him for a rival program in March. The claim was made by the New York Times on Thursday morning. ESPN, in a statement reported by the publication, called it a 'rumor' and lashed out at people 'seemingly obsessed with wanting to see Pat fail on ESPN.' The Times said that McAfee was unhappy when Schefter turned down an appearance on his show because he was already appearing on an ESPN2 free agency special. The report also says Schefter will return to McAfee's show for the first time since the March incident later on Thursday. McAfee, 38, signed an $85million deal with ESPN in 2023 for his hugely popular 'Pat McAfee Show'. His ESPN colleague Schefter, meanwhile, is widely considered the most respected and distinguished NFL reporter in the business.

Brittany Mahomes reveals if she'll have another child with Patrick after third baby together
Brittany Mahomes has ruled out having a fourth child with husband Patrick - for now. The Kansas City Chiefs WAG gave birth to her and Patrick's third baby earlier this year, with the couple welcoming another daughter, Golden Raye, back in January. They are also parents to four-year-old daughter Sterling Skye and two-year-old son Patrick 'Bronze' Lavon III. During an interview with WHOOP, Brittany discussed her record of falling pregnant with three children in the space of four years, before suggesting Golden Raye will be her last. 'We're done, we're done for a while. Three,' she said about the prospect of a fourth child. 'I don't know... I mean, I feel like you can never say you're done. But I think three is all I need.' Patrick, a three-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback for the Chiefs, and former college soccer player Brittany are childhood sweethearts after first dating as teenagers back in 2012. The couple, who stayed strong throughout college despite attending different schools, tied the knot in 2022 in a lavish Hawaiian wedding. Shortly after she gave birth for a third time, Mahomes also suggested there will not be a baby No 4 in store for him and his wife. 'I'm good with three for right now,' he said at a Chiefs press conference in January. 'We'll see down the line, maybe. But my goal was always three. 'So, we've had three. And we'll stick there for a while and see if we need to come back and get another one later on.' Earlier this month the NFL star also gushed over his wife as he revealed how she inspires his confident displays on the field. 'I admire my wife Brittany's confidence,' Patrick told People . 'Whether it's in business, or supporting our family, she always leads with strength and purpose. That kind of confidence is powerful; it pushes me to be better every day.' 'Confidence isn't something that you just wake up with one day,' he added. 'It's about staying committed to your goals, trusting yourself and the people around you and putting your best foot forward with every opportunity you get.'
