Williams only played in Dallas' first 2 games last year. Was that due to injury, or to his pass coverage problems? He and Bigby have some of the same strengths and weaknesses. Not sure if he would be an upgrade over Bigby or not. (Tosses up softball to Skin).

With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up

He's like an extra linebacker. If you need an 8 in the box guy, he's your man. But he can't cover at all.
Wade benched him and used him in spots. He wads hurt, but i thought he played more than jsut two games That's the kind of player you are getting and those guys don't make big money.
Somebody will pick him up, but his days of marquee money are over.
Do you bring him in at a low wage to compete with Bigby for some first and second down playing time, or do you just draft a sixth round safety to do that?
How heady is Williams? How hard does he work?
"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."
Williams was a hell of a player in College. He had a lot of freedom at the line of scrimmage. He is or never was a cover safety. He was a hitter and presence at the line of scrimmage. He is a better tackler than Bigby, coverage skills are about the same, awful.
Williams might take better angles to the football than Bigby, but that is not saying very much.
Bigby has a nose to cause turnovers. It seemed everytime bigby touched the guy with the ball he coughed it up. Collins is ball hawking, and bigby's coverage is "ok". He hits hard.
williams is a big-play just waiting to happen...for the other team. he's someone you target when you're on offense. not someone to target in FA. parcells said is was too light to play linebacker. if he get heavier he'll get slower...and then an even bigger liabillity.
Why he made such a good rep in his early career was something I couldn't understand.
Because of that play at OU where he flew over the center and sacked the QB for what I think was a safety. That was one of the coolest defensive plays that year if not decade... everyone remembers that one play and thinks "oh he's so athletic!".

Somethin got lost along the way...
I vaguely remember that play. I watch 10% as much of college football as I used to. I really got sick of Williams bc my neighbor is a Cowgirls fan. He was always bragging on Williams. I wanted other teams to toss on him & drive his ass to the bench, but the D defense was good enough to cover up for him.
I knew he was toast when Wade got there. You need to slam the back door when you build a defense. With Fat Roy, it was hanging wide open.
