CINCINNATI — The Bengals could be serious players for Jamaal Williams services.

The team is due for some new juice in the running back room and Tyler Dunne reported interest in the free agent running back.

"Free agency nugget to pass along," Dunne tweeted. "There’s mutual interest in Jamaal Williams returning to Detroit, but a source told me today that Buffalo, Cincinnati and the New York Jets are all very interested in the running back."

Williams was the NFL's rushing touchdown leaders last season (17) and could be an even better red zone weapon for Cincinnati's top-five unit in that area.

He should be a bargain at a projected $4.1 million per year, according to Spotrac. The 27-year old could choose a contender like Cincinnati over other options if the money is equal.
