The Minneapolis Star-Tribune is reporting that the New England Patriots have signed safety Tank Williams to a one-year deal. The contract terms were not disclosed.
Williams played with the Minnesota Vikings for the past two seasons. He spent the first four years of his career in a Tennessee Titans uniform.
I’d have to think that with this signing, the Patriots do not anticipate re-signing Eugene Wilson.
The team told Wilson they had no intention of resigning him.
U/D 3/6 – Wilson has met with the Jets and is also meeting with the Titans. The Buccaneers and Steelers are also interested.
And if you knew “Tank’s” given name is “Frank”…..you lose. His given name is Clevan.
From Reiss’s Pieces:
S Tank Williams signed a one-year contract with a base salary of $605,000. He did not receive a signing bonus. There is a $40,000 workout bonus as part of the deal. The contract qualifies for the veteran minimum benefit, meaning his salary cap charge is $491,000.
