    He's suspended for the first four games so, sure, he'll fit right in.

    If he's healthy and has his weight under control I'd love to have him.

    Okay, what role would he play if they did sign him? Would he make Toussiant expendable? I assume they keep Richardson, he seemed to be the superior back to me in preseason.

    I was a big Williams fan last year. The fact he is suspended at the same time Bell is makes the move a little more unlikely. Still, D-Will is no spring chicken and one more strike against Bell and he will be missing a bunch of games. I have no issues with picking him up.

    Not sure how this would help, he's suspended the 1st 4 games. Which is when we would need somebody behind Williams while Bell is out.
    I heard he put a lot of weight on too and was pushing 270 pounds. If he lost weight, and I wouldn't mind him here, because what do you have to lose? But, when we need him most he wouldn't be available.

    If this means more competition for Fitzgerald and Daryl... then so be it.

    This also could be a move looking at a back up for next year as well.

    Im cool with this move. Despite how we look, depth is always welcome. He can be a solid #2 next year and we are known to drop like flies anyways. Maybe his brother straightens him up.

    In a heartbeat I would sign him! Anyone remember last season? He has a 4 game suspension, and he needs to lose a few pounds, so what a perfect time to do so.

    Intriguing... Don't care for the baggage but a good move for future plans it could very well be. I like the fact his brother is here and should keep him in check.

    For the record, if Bell had a LBer brother here to snatch his ass up my attitude towards him would soften as well hahahahaha

    Hw's his blitz pick-up? That's the key to bringing in late RB's to the Steelers. We saw it all too well in the Baltimore playoff game. Williams has great recognition ans does Bell (Usually). Fitz is pretty decent in this system as well.

    I believe he was suspended for PED's, not pot.
