Williams was signed by the Seahawks on Thursday, Stephen Cohen of seattlepi.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams, a 28-year-old tight end, has recorded just four career catches so it's unlikely he'll make much of an impact in Seattle. He'll be a long-shot to get through the offseason without being cut, while Jimmy Graham and Luke Willson figure to lead the tight end corps.

Williams was waived by the Dolphins on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Williams saw just three snaps with the Dolphins since finding himself on the active roster in October. The 28-year-old tight end will likely have to bide his time until another team becomes interested in some depth on the offensive side of the ball.

The Dolphins promoted Williams from their practice squad to the active roster Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The Dolphins are seemingly healthy at the tight end spot, so it appears they simply want to increase their depth at the position. As the newest addition to the roster, Williams will slot in as the fourth tight end for the Dolphins.

Williams was waived by the Panthers on Saturday, the Charlotte Observer's Joe Person reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move frees up a spot on the roster for Carolina to add a fifth healthy receiver, Brenton Bersin, for Sunday's game.

Williams, who has been recovering from minor groin surgery since June, was removed from the PUP list Wednesday and returned to practice, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Williams back in action, he'll compete with veterans Greg Olsen and Ed Dickson for snaps. The trio of tight ends will have to step up this season in the wake of Kelvin Benjamin's season-ending injury. After recording just four catches in 14 games throughout the 2014 season, it's likely Williams will retain his depth role.

Williams has four receptions on a team-high nine targets for 81 yards and one touchdown through the Panthers' first two preseason games. Williams, a 6-4, 250-pound former basketball player, has impressed the Panthers' coaching staff going into his second season. The tight end hauled in a 31-yard touchdown in Carolina's opening preseason contest and added another 31-yard reception in Sunday's second exhibition outing. With unique athleticism and raw talent, Williams is considered a project that the Panthers are taking their time grooming. Nonetheless, his encouraging development should earn Williams playing time in two tight end sets with Greg Olsen, Carolina's unquestioned No. 1 tight end and quarterback Cam Newton's favorite target.

ESPN Panthers reporter David Newton identified second-year TE Brandon Williams as a player that "stood out" during minicamp and OTAs. An undrafted free agent out of Oregon, Williams played only 28 offensive snaps his rookie year, but Newton believes his offensive role will expand this season. Williams is a physical freak, standing 6-4, 250 with sub-4.6 40 wheels. He likely will not get an opportunity to shine this season with Greg Olsen and Ed Dickson ahead of him on the depth chart, but he is a name to know in deep Dynasty formats.

Panthers declared TE Brandon Williams, CB D.J. Moore, CB Josh Norman, S Quintin Mikell, LB Ben Jacobs, DE Frank Alexander, and DT Dwan Edwards inactive for Week 5 against the Cardinals. Carolina is mostly healthy coming off of its Week 4 bye.
