2022 season
Williams spent most of last season on the Cardinals’ practice squad but did get a little playing time.
He appeared in one game for Arizona, catching one pass for five yards.
He spent the 2021 season with the Baltimore Ravens, rushing for 185 yards and a score.
He has 160 career offensive snaps (two last season) and 45 on special teams (five last season).
2023 salary and cap hit
He was under contract for 2023 and will make $870.000 in salary this season. Ht cap hit is the same and none of the money is guaranteed.
Questions and challenges for 2023; roster outlook
Williams is an unknown, really. He is six feet tall and 220 pounds.
Because the running back room is thin on proven production — James Conner is the only one proven in the NFL — Williams as good a chance to make the roster as anyone. There will be an open competition for the primary backup job on offense.
