Undrafted, Williams signed a three-year free-agent contract with the Cardinals worth $3.14 million that includes $215,000 guaranteed: $40,000 signing bonus along with $175,000 of his $885,000 base salary. The salary-cap charge is $898,333.

Questions he faces, roster outlook

While the competition on the line will be stiff, keep an eye on Williams during camp and preseason games. He is strong with long arms, quickness and the ability to be a disruptive force in run defense. He might face long odds to make the 53-man roster, but placing him on waivers at the cutdown to 53 on Aug. 30 in hopes of signing him to the practice squad could result in other teams putting in a claim.
