Eagles signed CB Cary Williams, formerly of the Ravens, to a three-year, $17 million contract.
The Eagles also signed FS Kenny Phillips, setting up their spanking new starting secondary. Williams will start opposite Bradley Fletcher while Phillips and Patrick Chung handle the safety spots. While Williams was a starter on the Super Bowl champion Ravens and posted four interceptions along with 17 pass deflections, he struggled mightily while under the microscope. During the regular season, opponents threw for 1,000 yards, six touchdowns, and a 91.6 quarterback rating while targeting Williams. This shouldn't stop the Eagles from considering Alabama CB Dee Milliner at No. 4 overall. Mar 14 - 4:11 PM

NFL Network's Michelle Beisner considers the Lions and Eagles the most likely landing spots for free agent CB Cary Williams.

The Eagles have signed Bradley Fletcher and the Lions retained Chris Houston, but neither will stop there. Both secondaries could use a 6'1/190 corner that is just 28 years old. Williams was our No. 10 cornerback available when free agency opened.

According to the Indianapolis Star, Colts coach Chuck Pagano was a "big fan" of free agent CB Cary Williams when Pagano was on Baltimore's staff.

Pagano coached Baltimore's secondary from 2008-2010 and coordinated the defense in 2011. Williams was roasted in coverage too much for our liking last season, but we can see the appeal because he's under 30 and blessed with ideal cornerback size. The Colts certainly have the salary cap space to land Williams.

The Baltimore Sun says the Colts will "probably" pursue free agent CB Cary Williams.

Williams isn't going to be back with the Ravens, and landing in Indianapolis with his former defensive boss, Chuck Pagano, makes a ton of sense. The Colts are really weak in the defensive backfield, and pairing Williams with Vontae Davis would make a capable duo. In January, Williams thought he might be worth $8-10 million annually, but there's no chance he gets that kind of money.

The Ravens are expected to allow free agent CB Cary Williams to hit the open market.

This has been the thinking since the season ended. Williams wants a ton of money, and his agent expects him to "very much be wanted by many teams." Baltimore has plenty of capable in-house replacements. Williams has a knack for giving up the big play, and some team may overvalue him in free agency.

The Ravens plan to touch base with free agent CB Cary Williams' representation at the Combine.

"The ultimate goal, if possible, is for Cary is to stay a Raven," Williams' agent said. "It's tough terrain with them because of their cap situation and them having to pay their quarterback. If it doesn't work out with Baltimore, I think Cary has elevated his game and himself. ... I'm expecting him to very much be a wanted man by teams." Both the Baltimore Sun and Carroll County Times expect Williams to walk.

The Ravens have stated adamantly that Joe Flacco is their only candidate for the franchise tag.

In other words, the Ravens won't be tagging CB Cary Williams or OLB Paul Kruger if they hammer out a deal with Flacco. The franchise deadline is March 4, and we suspect Flacco will be affixed with the pricey, one-year, guaranteed tender just ahead of that date. Williams and Kruger are likely headed for the open market.

The Carroll County Times says impending free agent CB Cary Williams is not expected to be re-signed.

The Ravens are expected to try re-signing Williams, but he may find more money on the open market than they can afford. Baltimore has a handful of capable in-house alternatives for right corner in Corey Graham, Chykie Brown, and former first-rounder Jimmy Smith. LCB Lardarius Webb is also returning from a torn ACL. Williams is said to be seeking upwards of $8 million annually.

The Baltimore Sun expects the Ravens to "try to keep" impending free agent CB Cary Williams, but says Williams might get more on the open market than Baltimore is willing to offer.

Beat writer Mike Preston points to the salary cap as an issue, as well as the improved play of Chykie Brown and Corey Graham coupled with Lardarius Webb set to return from a torn ACL in 2013. Baltimore also has former first-round pick Jimmy Smith waiting in the wings. It's been reported that Williams believes he's worth $8-$10 million per year on the open market, but we don't see him attaining that.

Impending free agent CB Cary Williams believes he might be worth $8-$10 million per year on the open market.

Williams turned down a three-year, $15 million offer from the Ravens prior to training camp last summer, then turned around and gave up over 1,000 yards, six touchdowns, and a 91.6 quarterback rating in his coverage this season. With Lardarius Webb expected to return from ACL surgery and former first-round pick Jimmy Smith aiming for a starting job, Williams may not be in Baltimore's 2013 plans. He's also going to be disappointed by his market.

A reliable source tells the Indianapolis Star the player the Colts are pursuing in trade talks is a cornerback.

Owner Jim Irsay's comments suggest the trade target is a veteran looking for a new contract. Cary Williams reportedly turned down a three-year, $15 million offer before training camp, and the Ravens have depth in 2011 first-rounder Jimmy Smith. CBS Sports' Jason LaCanfora confirms the Colts have had no talks with the Cowboys about Mike Jenkins' (shoulder) availability. Rotoworld's Evan Silva suspects Dolphins CB Vontae Davis could be the Colts' target, as Williams is playing Thursday night. If he was involved in talks, the Ravens would likely hold him out.

Ravens RCB Cary Williams reportedly turned down a three-year, $15 million contract offer from the franchise before training camp.

Instead, Williams signed his one-year, $1.927 million tender. We have a feeling Williams may live to regret the refused contract offer, as he may lose his starting job to 2011 first-round pick Jimmy Smith. Williams was torched by Julio Jones in Baltimore's preseason opener, and Calvin Johnson beat Williams for 57 yards in the second exhibition game. Those are great receivers, of course, but Williams hasn't looked the same since offseason hip surgery.

Ravens CB Cary Williams has "regained trust and flexibility" in his surgically repaired right hip and expects to be 100 percent for training camp.

Ravens vets report on Tuesday afternoon. The surgery was major, though, and any loss of explosiveness or change of direction could really cost Williams. He's entering a contract year and already seems the underdog in a forthcoming training camp battle with 2011 first-rounder Jimmy Smith to start at right corner.

Ravens CB Cary Williams (hip surgery) is hoping to be at full strength in time for training camp.

Williams said in May that he had no pain in his leg, but wasn't rushing back. He has yet to participate in any 11-on-11 drills. In serious jeopardy of losing his starting job to Jimmy Smith, Williams has motivation to get back to full participation later this month.

Ravens CB Cary Williams (hip surgery) has yet to be cleared to run full speed.

However, Williams says there's "no pain" in his leg. "It's very flexible, but you have to be patient and not rush back." Williams acknowledges that his job is "on the line," as Baltimore is expected to give 2011 first-round pick Jimmy Smith every opportunity to start opposite Lardarius Webb. Williams will likely slot in as the Ravens' third corner after starting all 16 games in 2011.
