The Bills released Williams on Monday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams' release frees up more than $6 million in cap space for Buffalo with just $3.6 in dead money, a situation which made the starting offensive lineman's departure fairly predictable. Now heading into his age-30 season, Williams won't have much difficulty drumming up interest on the open market. Meanwhile, the Bills could have difficulty replacing the versatility he offered the O-line.

The Bills signed Williams to a three-year, $28.2 million deal Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams proved to be a reliable starting right tackle during the 2020. With Dion Dawkins and Williams returning to the team, Josh Allen should have another year of strong protection.

Buffalo has signed Williams to a one-year contract as a free agent, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams profiles as a logical signing for the Bills for two reasons: 1) He can play tackle or guard, and the team was looking for that kind of versatility, as it is already set for the five starters. 2) He's yet another former Panther with ties to Bills GM Brandon Beane and coach Sean McDermott, both of whom started their careers with the Carolina franchise. Expect Williams to provide valuable depth as the Bills continue to beef up their offense around Josh Allen, with the ability to start in a pinch if injuries hit hard.

Williams had been limited during offseason work after recovering from a torn MCL and dislocated patella.

Coach Ron Rivera said Wednesday that Williams' recovery from knee surgery is "going as scheduled," Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams played just 56 offensive snaps last season before undergoing surgery on his right knee and landing on injured reserve. A second-team All-Pro selection in 2017, the 26-year-old right tackle will look to prove that he can still play at a high level in 2019.

For the time being, Williams' role at right tackle will be covered by Amini Silatou and newly-signed offensive tackle Chris Clark.
