Looks like Seattle has signed Cary Williams. Defer to Eagles fans but looks like an ok signing as far as reliability.
This pretty much sums up my thoughts on Williams:

I don’t like phony tough guys. And Williams is certainly that. He would tackle players on an inconsistent basis. But he was All-Pro when it came to shoving WRs after the catch. I can’t stand players who talk about being physical and tough and then do that kind of crap. Be physical from snap to whistle. Shoving guys afterward just draws penalties. That doesn’t intimidate anyone.
He's kind of the NFL equivalent of Alex Burrows. I didn't like Williams when he was a Raven and he didn't impress me as an Eagle. He plays way too soft off the WR and has trouble getting his head around for the ball. He also tends to take dumb unsportsmanlike penalties for the aforementioned stuff after the whistle. That said, with Thomas and Sherman covering his ass, he'll probably do fine in that defense.
