Raiders | Dan Williams released Tue Apr 18, 05:00 PM
Oakland Raiders DT Dan Williams was released Tuesday, April 18.
Footballguys view: Williams is a big bodied run stuffer who should get some interest on the open market. He's only a rotational player, and his weight is always a concern, but Williams should have a few teams looking at him. The Raiders clear up $4.5 million in cap space with this move. |

Saints | Saints ink seven to futures contracts Mon Jan 2, 10:26 PM
The New Orleans Saints signed QB Garrett Grayson, TEs Jake Stoneburner, Garrett Griffin, DT Ashaad Mabry DT Justin Zimmer, WR Jordan Williams and OG John Fullington to Reserve/Futures contracts Monday, Jan. 2.
Footballguys view: Grayson was a third-round pick in 2015, but he has yet to show potential to be a starter in the league. We'll see if he can take larger strides as the Saints decided to keep him around. |

Raiders | Dan Williams signs Wed Mar 11, 12:12 PM
Free-agent DT Dan Williams (Cardinals) is signing an undisclosed deal with the Oakland Raiders Wednesday, March 11.
Footballguys view: Williams is the reason that Jack Del Rio and Terrance Knighton did not reunite on the Raiders. Williams gives the Raiders the ability to switch to 3-4 looks with his nose tackle experience. |

Giants | May look at Dan Williams Sun Mar 8, 05:47 PM
Free-agent NT Dan Williams (Cardinals) is attracting interest from the New York Giants.
Footballguys view: Williams makes a lot of sense for teams who need more beef in the middle of the defensive line. He's a mountain of a man who can regularly eat up double teams. Williams will even give you a little push inside on the quarterback. |

Redskins | Show interest in Dan Williams Sun Mar 8, 11:16 AM
Arizona Cardinals impending free-agent DT Dan Williams has received interest from the Washington Redskins.
Footballguys view: Williams is a mountain of a man in the trenches. He can stuff the run, regularly eat up double-teams, and Williams will get some middle push on the quarterback. |

Lions | May look at Dan Williams Sun Mar 8, 02:30 AM
Free-agent DL Dan Williams (Cardinals) may be approached by the Detroit Lions if the team loses DE Ndamukong Suh to free agency.
Footballguys view: The move for Williams would make a ton of sense if Suh moves on. With teams like the Dolphins, Raiders and Chargers lined up around the block for Suh, we think he's done in Detroit. Williams is a huge body who takes up space naturally and can stuff the run with ease. |

Footballguys view: The Cardinals could win the #1 seed with some help, but it much more likely that they are the five seed and will travel to the NFC south winner, so there's little reason them to push injured players in Week 17. |

Footballguys view: The Cardinals are the walking wounded right now, and they didn't have that much depth to begin with. Roberts had been building momentum as a possession receiver in the Bruce Arians offense, but this injury will slow that momentum. He's just a very late-round flier in PPR drafts. |
