In a still young career that’s been marred by injuries and inefficiency, Williams hasn’t been able to fit the bill of a true workhorse running back, and with his rookie contract set to expire, it’s likely the soon-to-be fifth-year running back will be in a new home come the 2025 season, per the Denver Gazette's Chris Tomasson. In a relatively lackluster RB free agency class, Williams will likely have a few suitors interested in adding talented depth to their backfields – however, it’s hard to imagine that Williams will be catching on in any kind of lead role any time soon. If Denver and Williams decide to go their separate ways, their backfield will be one of the most fluid situations to watch heading into the new league year and into the draft. This year’s class of running backs is as deep as any we’ve seen over the past ten years, and it’s likely safe to assume that the Broncos will look to add some premier talent with names like Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime sitting atop the depth chart going into 2025. With the Broncos offense presumably on the upswing with Bo Nix entering his second year after a stellar rookie season, a top-end running back could have some serious value in Denver next year.
