Report: Mario Williams to visit with Miami

Recently released defensive end Mario Williams is reportedly set to visit with the Miami Dolphins.

Williams, who was released by Buffalo after the worst season of his career, will entertain Miami’s overtures first, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media.

It’s a question as to where he’d fit. Olivier Vernon has been given the transition tag, but another team could still sign him. Cameron Wake is also an issue, and he may need to restructure his contract for this to work. Miami has significant salary cap issues, and Ndamukong Suh may have to sacrifice as well.

As for Williams, he’s likely to draw significant interest from a number of teams, so expect this visit to be the first of many. Theoretically, he could be part of a fearsome defensive front for Miami, but he’ll need to shape up after a season in which he was critical of the Bills’ defensive scheme and was accused of taking plays off on a regular basis.
