The Facts:
The Carolina Panthers didn't place their franchise tag on Williams, which means the fifth-year tailback likely will become an unrestricted free agent once a new collective bargaining agreement is finalized.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
And as Post staffer Mike Klis suggested, if Williams is a free agent, wouldn't the only NFL head coach he has played for be interested? John Fox, now with the Broncos, coached Williams at Carolina. Williams rushed for 1,515 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2008 and ran for 1,117 yards in 2009. He missed most of last season because of injuries, finishing with 361 yards in six games. He has an NFL career average of 5.0 yards per carry. Of course, the NFL and their players must reach a new agreement before anybody starts changing teams. And the fact he wasn't franchised doesn't mean the Panthers won't try to keep Williams. Still, he will be a player worth watching this offseason.
