Earlier this month, DeAngelo Williams told ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter that he wanted to continue playing in 2017. However, he said that there were four mystery teams he refused to play for. The running back has now revealed the identity of those teams (audio link).

Surprisingly, the Panthers are one of the teams that Williams says he will not sign with. The 34-year-old spent the first nine seasons of his career in Carolina, but he left there with a bad taste in his mouth because of the way his departure played out. He also said that he would not sign with the Cowboys, because he grew up a 49ers fan. The Browns and Jaguars, Williams says, are also not in consideration, because of their losing seasons. Williams was not exactly delicate as he broke down his reasons for crossing off each club.
“They don’t ever show up during the playoffs,” Williams said of the Cowboys. “They always disappear in the playoffs.”
In theory, that leaves 28 teams for Williams to possibly join this summer. However, his age and odometer are clearly working against him as we have heard little chatter around the veteran tailback. They say that beggars can’t be choosers, and Williams is being a chooser in the most unorthodox way by ruling out four teams that he could possibly join.
As of this writing, all four of the teams listed by Williams seem pretty well set at running back. However, if one of those clubs loses an RB to injury this summer, he may regret his words.
lol this guy is funny! Love it!
For reals
I wanna say the Bucs should take him cuz they were lacking at RB last year but I’m also not sure who they have on the roster atm
I know they have Doug Martin and another guy Peyton Barber(I think that’s his name) played a couple games last year and played pretty decent
Hoping he finds his way back to Pittsburgh. He proved himself and I’d like too see him backup Bell again.
He really tailed off in the 2nd half of last season, to the point where he looked like he didn’t have much left. I would only support the Steelers bringing him back if injuries strike or if both James Connor and Knile Davis show nothing. Williams is a great guy but the Steelers have other priorities at this point IMO
I don’t think a 34 year old RB should be striking ANY teams off of his list.
Besides…..he may not “want” to go to the Jaguars because he would be battling for the 4th RB spot on the roster!
Lol
If the Eagles were to sign him, not that they would. They have depth and no cap space. But hypothetically their top 4 (since Ryan Matthews is still on the team) would probably be one of the oldest in NFL history. Matthews, Sproles, Williams, and Blount.
Cowboys don’t need him anyways.
We got zeke! Plus he’s old!
And 32 teams have ruled DeAngelo Williams out
