Hell hath no fury like an NFL running back scorned. In discussing his departure from Green Bay, Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams likened the Packers to an ex-girlfriend, while Detroit is his rebound girl. Aaron Jones signed a four-year, $48 million deal with the Packers in March, just as Williams’ rookie contract was expiring.

That pretty much spelled the end of his tenure with the Packers.

“It ain’t hard for them to say ‘bye,” Williams said Thursday. “They let me (go). Y’all act like I left on my own, golly. I didn’t do it. Shoot, if I could have stayed, I could have stayed. If I can’t, they didn’t want me.”

Williams compared his departure to being dumped by a longtime girlfriend, and in that regard, his new team is like his ex’s good friend.

“Like that ex-girlfriend, shoot, I got to go,” he said. “But I got a rebound, it was the Lions, they picked me up. Now they feeding me good, taking me to dinners. Another man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”

Williams started the Lions’ season-opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers last week.

He led the team with 54 yards rushing and a touchdown on nine carries.

One team’s trash is another team’s treasure.

So far.
