Williams Will Play Next Season

Brian Murphy (Pioneer Press) reports Minnesota Vikings’ defensive tackle Pat Williams will not retire and will play next season, according to his agent.

Williams’ agent, Angelo Wright, said he spoke to Williams “three or four” times last week and is certain he will play next season.

“Trust me, I know what Pat Williams is doing, Wright said.  “Pat Williams is playing.”

Williams is scheduled to earn $4.25 million in salary and another $250,000 roster bonus.

Minnesota Sports Zone’s Take:

We never really thought that Williams would retire.  That said, the Vikings are certain to look for a defensive tackle in the draft.  Both Pat and Kevin Williams are in the middle of a court case that could force them to sit out the first four games of next season.
