Isn't this the same situation with Kendall Hunter last season? We did the same thing and even though he was put on waivers we couldn't re-sign him that season.
If no one picks him up on waivers and no one will with his injury then he can sign with anyone most likely after the season. This move helps him financially and I am sure if he recovers they have talked to him about re-signing after the season is over.
Why couldn't we re-sign Hunter then?
I just read up on that -- in order for Hunter to re-sign, the injury settlement had to have been signed within 5 days of him being put on IR. I don't know if the rules are different for NFI, which Williams was put on, but if they aren't, then he cannot re-sign with us until the off-season.
