Any news on Pat Williams?

[xtheronx]

I know we showed interest at some point .. he should be eligible to play week 3 .. any new info??

Suspension isn't activated until he signs with a team. He's not coming here. Ron Fields was our veteran DT signing. Wish we would have brought in some quality LB or S help yesterday.

he went back to Minn. and is going to play 2 games for free.

Get the impression they're gonna stick with what they have there.

News on Pat Williams...he's still fat.

I thought Pat was still on the market! I know Kevin Williams went back to the Viks. Also thought I read Will Smith is out there!

Thanks, I deleted my post. It was Kevin Willams who is playing two games without pay after returning to the Vikes. Sorry, It is hard to keep these Willams boys straight.

Apparently we signed Frank Kearse DT from the Dolphins today per tweet from a site called pro interviews.

Not sure if legit or not.

We never ended up signing that guy. We signed Ron Fields. Maybe if you guys weren't so enveloped in the Cam threads whenever you logged on and focused on other things..

That's actually incorrect. He has served his suspension while unsigned and is available to play now, but would have to pay a fine equivalent to two game checks.

this should make it crystal clear

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello tells PFT that, with the conclusion of the first two weeks of action, another Williams is available to be signed. Former Vikings defensive tackle Pat Williams has served his suspension while being unsigned. If/when he joins a team, he will be required to pay a fine in the amount of two game checks.

Pat Williams had been musing about retirement in recent years. After the 2010 season, he decided he wanted to still play. For most players, however, careers end not with tear-jerking press conferences but a permanent lockout from the league.

And excuse the hell out of me for wasting your valuable time. This came from a tweet I received maybe an hour ago.

Save the smart ass remarks for Atlanta fans.
