Karlos Williams Waived by Buffalo: Top Five Landing Spots for the Running Back
With the first shocking cut of the 2016 NFL preseason, the Buffalo Bills have decided to waive sophomore running back Karlos Williams.
Williams, who is due to serve a four game suspension to start the year, had nine touchdowns as a rookie coming out of Florida State.
With LeSean McCoy, Reggie Bush, and rookie Jonathan Williams in the mix, Rex Ryan and company were able to move on. Williams added some weight in the offseason, blaming his pregnant wife for the gain in pounds. A suspension doesn’t help him either.
My understanding of Karlos Williams' cut: Was performance, not discipline. Thanks to his weight, he was behind McCoy, J. Williams, Bush, etc
