First shocking preseason cut: Buffalo Bills planning to release RB Karlos Williams, per league source.
 

Quote

As a fifth-round draft pick last year, Bills running back Karlos Williams burst onto the scene with 517 rushing yards, a very impressive average of 5.6 yards a carry, and seven touchdowns. Ordinarily, a player with that kind of output as a rookie would feature prominently in a team’s future plans.

But perhaps it shouldn’t come as a surprise: Williams is suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy, and he reportedly showed up to training camp out of shape. And running back is a position where the Bills are loaded, with LeSean McCoy, Reggie Bush, Mike Gillislee,James Wilder Jr. and Jonathan Williams on the depth chart.

Williams is talented enough that some other team will surely give him a shot. He’d be wise to work harder in his new home than he has in Buffalo.

I would not be upset if we brought him in the back-up Stewart.

He's a syrup boi I think 

[ThPantherFan]

Don't think he would be any better than what we have.

Wouldn't mind taking a look, because only big backs would be effective with our offensive line. Gotta make sure that he isn't messing with that lean, though.

I can sympathize with this. I put on 20 pounds during my wife's pregnancy. Then again, I wasn't a 23 year old professional athlete either.

Yep, I think that's what the Bills were thinking as well.

Would love to bring him in and give him a shot.  He's our type of RB big athletic bruiser.  Stewie is one hit away from being injured, and I'm not 100% sold on CAP.
