Williams was waived by the Panthers on Friday, Max Henson of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams' only NFL action came in 2016, when he suited up for 14 games -- including three starts -- with the Lions. He was competing with a plethora of other linebackers for a chance to provide depth at the position, but was unable to show enough.

2016 Fantasy Outlook
Detroit’s fifth-round selection out of Georgia Southern, Williams (6-3, 245) possesses great size but could find himself buried behind a slew of more established players during his rookie campaign. He’ll contend for depth role behind DeAndre Levy, Kyle Van Noy and Josh Bynes in 2016.

Showing improvement in second season
Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said Williams is "a ton, ton better" so far this offseason compared to Williams' rookie year, Paula Pasche of The Oakland Press reports."[Williams is] much more urgent in terms of how he's attacking the game, really is seeing and understands the scheme better, so he's reacting faster and he's a big man that can run,'' Austin said. "So, he's really done some good things throughout this offseason, really like where he's going right now."
