Panthers Claim LB Jason Williams
By admin
The Carolina Panthers were awarded linebacker Jason Williams off waivers, reports Adam Caplan of FOXSports.com.
Williams was waived by the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday.
A third-round pick (69th overall) out of Western Illinois in 2009, Williams totaled six tackles in 10 games over the last two seasons. Five of Williams' tackles were as a member of the Cowboys' special teams units.
Williams is signed through the 2012 season at league minimum base salaries, with $176,800 of his contract guaranteed.
To make room for Williams on the 53-man roster, linebacker Abdul Hodge has been waived.
