Osgood says Chargers are dumping Jamal Williams

[shelby]

Though Chargers special-teams standout Kassim Osgood has yet to launch his own OCNN-style Twitter journalism operation, the soon-to-be free agent has declared that the Chargers have cut nose tackle Jamal Williams.

Osgood claims in a tweet that Williams, who was placed on injured reserve after only one game last season, is "officially gone." In a later message, Osgood insists it's true and points out that players share information with each other.

I expect the Bills to be very interested.

Could be an excellent temporary fix to our NT situation. Obviously the Nix link is there too.

Re: Osgood says Chargers are dumping Jamal Williams

The Chargers must think he has nothing left in the tank. Either that, or his salary is too high.

Either way, we need to give him a look.

Would LOVE him for a year or two! With Nix here this could definitely happen.

Definitely someone the Bills should try to pick up.

Article from SD Union Trib confirming Kassim's story.

Sources also said Williams, a Pro Bowl nose tackle who had been with the Chargers for 12 seasons, would be released. Williams, who will be 34 next month, would have been owed a $1 million roster bonus and was scheduled to earn $5 million in 2010. He played in only one game last season due to a triceps injury suffered in the season opener.

We can only hope...He's still good for another year, or two.

Hopefully his connection with Buddy Nix will help us bring him in...

Re: Osgood says Chargers are dumping Jamal Williams

Eww, we don't need a stop gap. we need a stud. there are a couple in the draft.

Jamal has already gotten injured and missed a season, he has a huge contract. Picking him up and forgoing what is a need right now. We don't need the future at NT, LT from this draft. They are there right now. Then next year we can get a WR and QB. I really don't want this guy.

And on a side note, are the chargers dismantling their entire team? what the heck is going on?

Dismantling? Since when? Last I checked, they offered 4 guys the top RFA tender possible, and may do the same with Sproles (might have changed their minds).

No matter who we pick up in FA, we have to get some sort of NT in the draft. Even if we wait until the 5th round (I think that's where the Browns found Ahtyba Rubin last year), they have to draft an NT. Doesn't mean Williams wouldn't be a good pickup at the least for depth.

We need a stud at LT, QB, LB, DT, DE, OLB and probably other spots...if they do plan on drafting a NT in the first couple rounds, then they probably wont go after him, but i mean if he can play some solid football for a couple years why not get him and fill other holes right now?

Sign him and draft Linval Joesph or Ekom Udophi.
