The Bears have informed Williams (neck) that they do not intend to re-sign him during the offseason, ESPN Chicago reports. The decision isn't much of a surprise after injury issues marred Williams two-year tenure with the Bears, limiting him to just 10 games in 2013 and six in 2014 before landing on IR. The 32-year-old was regularly a 100-plus tackle talent during his prime years with the Broncos earlier in his career, but he looks to be a backup-level player at this point. He should still receive some interest on the open market, assuming he's willing to accept a reduced role with another team.
