Williams, 31, was released by the Kansas City Chiefs on Tuesday. In 60 games with the Chiefs, Williams racked up 216 tackles, one sack and eight passes defensed. Williams led the Chiefs with 117 tackles in 2009, but had just 37 tackles in 28 games in a reserve role the last two seasons. Originally selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the fourth round of the 2004 NFL Draft out of Nebraska, Williams has 567 tackles, 7.5 sacks and five interceptions during his 124-game career. Financial terms of his deal with the Chargers were not disclosed, but Williams was scheduled to earn $1.75 million in base salary with a $200,000 roster bonus and $50,000 in the final year of his contract with the Chiefs.

2012 NFL Free Agency Rumors: Top 5 Landing Spots For Vincent Jackson

Via 60 Max Power O  |  March 08, 2012
Like I had written in my “Players Who Didn’t Get The Franchise Tag article from Tuesday, the Chargers opted to avoid slapping wide receiver Vincent Jackson with the franchise tag for the second year in a row, allowing him to test the free agent market.

On December 23rd, 2007, in a meaningless, diehards-only game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Detroit Lions, Jackie Battle received his first regular season carry in the NFL. It was a simple plunge up the middle, the ball’s placement on the Lions’ three-yard line allowing only one objective for Battle: score. Battle was met

The San Diego Chargers didn’t want to spend $13 million on WR Vincent Jackson

Via thepigskinreport.com  |  March 07, 2012
In one of the more perplexing moves this offseason, the San Diego Chargers did not place the franchise tag on WR Vincent Jackson. Jackson is now set to become a free agent once the free agency period begins on March 13th. There is a very good chance that once he hits the open market, the physical receiver will be in another uniform next season. Vincent Jackson is already...

Who Knew Philip Rivers Was A Right-Wing Nutjob?

Via Busted Coverage  |  March 09, 2012
We’ve always thought San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers was pretty much a prick because he always seems to be yelling at someone or whining about something. Well, it turns out there’s a reason for his on-field antics — he’s out of his mind. Rivers, you see, is into politics and today he threw his support behind conservative Republican presidential candidate Rick...

NFL Rumors: Vincent Jackson Would Take Less Money to Remain in San Diego

Via FootBasket  |  March 08, 2012
 Vincent Jackson fits the mold that the Bears are looking to fill for their wide receiver position. He's 6'5"... I could stop there, but he's a solid 230 pounds, he has #1 receiver skills, and he's gone over 1,000 yards receiving 3 of the last 4 years. He's reportedly on the Bears radar, as well as the radar of up to 7 other teams, but his heart may remain...

The Kansas City Chiefs reportedly became the first team to make a formal offer to Peyton Manning.
