Saints beat Falcons to sign Williams

Interesting read. We leapfrogged the Falcons to sign RB Jonathan Williams. Falcons were probably trying to fill the gap after losing Freeman.

Quote:

Before signing Jonathan Williams this week, the New Orleans Saints had some competition when vying for the running back: the Atlanta Falcons.

The two NFC South rivals went head-to-head in trying to attract Williams to their backfields, but in the end the Saints triumphed over Atlanta.

So, Williams had to choose between playing in the same backfield as a future Hall-Of-Famer who will own about every NFL passing record within two years...

or

playing for the team known for the biggest choke in Super Bowl history.

Hard decision.

Payton wasn't the only member of the coaching staff to reach out.

Running backs coach Joel Thomas, who coached Williams at Arkansas, also called his former player, making Williams' decision to pick the Saints a formality.

"The effort they put in, I loved that," Williams said. "It was a no-brainer."

Williams arrived at the Saints training facility Tuesday morning, signed his contract and quickly immersed himself in the playbook.

He didn't leave until 9 p.m., but he immediately felt welcomed.

"It's a great team environment," Williams said. "Honestly, I already feel like I've been a part of this team the whole season and it's been a day.
