After all that intense discussion about where he'd end up!

Williams and Oko owner

Disappointing short term, but Williams definitely showed something last year. With Briggs locked up and two more years on Williams' contract, Okwo likely learns Mike this year behind a quickly aging Urlacher.

Williams and Oko owner

I already had Okwo on my roster after the draft and I was trying to pickup Williams from a guy in my 32 team league. He declined all my offers because he says I gave him crap about Okwo being the player to own...something to the effect of "he had the last laugh." Well...we're both crying now.Guess I'll be dropping Okwo so I can free up a couple years and a little bit o' jack.

TD, if Williams was so impressive, why would the Bears choose not to play him in many of their nickel packages? I know he some more time later in the season, but that seems a huge red flag to me. I didn't get to see much of those games, had Williams looked a lot better then?

Good news for Brandon Moore?
