Williams signed a one-year contract with the Saints on Friday.

Williams joins the Saints ahead of his 13th NFL season, spent primarily in Minnesota before a year-long stint last season in Seattle, where he posted 30 tackles and three sacks. In heading to New Orleans, Williams figures to beef up the Saints' front-seven, but it remains to be seen how he'll adjust to playing in a 3-4 scheme like defensive coordinator Rob Ryan's.

Seahawks agreed to terms with DT Kevin Williams, formerly of the Vikings, on a one-year contract.

According to ESPN's Ed Werder, the deal is worth "in excess" of $2 million. Williams pondered retirement, but found the amount of money he was willing to play for after three months on the open market. Going on 34, Williams remained a productive player in 2014, particularly against the run. He further fortifies what was already one of the league's stoutest defensive lines.

Free agent DT Kevin Williams said he's recently had conversations with the Vikings.

Williams has visited the Giants, Seahawks, and Patriots since free agency kicked off three months ago. The soon-to-be 34-year-old has pondered retirement but admits he wants to continue his career. He hopes to have a deal before training camp. The Vikings could use some depth behind Linval Joseph and company.

Free agent DT Kevin Williams is visiting with the Patriots Thursday.

Free agent DT Kevin Williams is "still weighing (his) options."

Free agent DT Kevin Williams says he'll consider retirement if his financial demands are not met.

"If it's not worth the risk of going back out there, I can't say I'll do it," Williams said Thursday. "I don't see (taking a low-value deal) at this point, but you never know. ... I'm not one of those guys that's afraid to go home." Williams visited the Seahawks on Monday, but says "nothing was decided." Williams visited the Giants earlier in April. Going on 34, Williams has been in the league for 11 seasons.

Free agent DT Kevin Williams worked out for the Seahawks on Monday.

It's Williams' second visit of free agency; he previously met with the Giants two weeks ago. The soon-to-be 34-year-old would slot in behind Brandon Mebane and Tony McDaniel in Seattle and compete for snaps with Jordan Hill.

Free agent DT Kevin Williams has left his Giants visit without a contract.

"Had a good visit and gonna see what happens," Williams said. Going on 34, the G-Men were Williams' first visit. The fact that he's leaving the Big Apple without a deal is an indication his price needs to come down.

Free agent DT Kevin Williams is visiting the Giants.

Williams flew into New York on Monday night and had dinner with the Giants' defensive line coach. He'll continue his visit, his first of free agency, on Tuesday. Williams spent the first 11 seasons of his career with the Vikings and was once considered one of the top three-techniques in the game. He's our top remaining free-agent defensive tackle and would give the Giants another vet presence.

Free agent DT Kevin Williams says he's had "several teams" call but has yet to receive any offers.

Williams, 34 in August, would like to finish his career in Minnesota, but the sides haven't talked since last week. With Linval Joseph, Sharrif Floyd, and Fred Evans at defensive tackle for the Vikings, there might not be much room for Williams. The former first-round pick is our top remaining free-agent defensive tackle.

The Vikings haven't ruled out re-signing free agent DT Kevin Williams.

Williams has spent his entire 11-year career in Minnesota and could be brought back to start alongside Linval Joseph. It suggests that the Vikings don't see Sharif Floyd as more than a rotational player at this point. Minnesota also visited with Henry Melton this week, but he left without a deal. Williams, 33, is Rotoworld's No. 2 remaining free-agent defensive tackle.

ESPN Vikings reporter Ben Goessling predicts free agent DT Kevin Williams will play elsewhere in 2014.

Williams, 33, has spent his entire 11-year career in Minnesota since being the ninth overall pick in the 2003 draft. However, he'll likely look to sign with a contender, while the Vikings will aim to get younger. We don't see Williams landing more than a one-year deal. He's our No. 9 free-agent defensive tackle.

Impending free agent DT Kevin Williams wants to re-sign with the Vikings.

"I'd like to play a couple more years (with Minnesota), but that's totally up to the Vikings," Williams said. He also really wants to play for new coach Mike Zimmer. Williams will be 33 before the start of next season and likely will have to settle for a one- or two-year deal with minimal guaranteed money. He's started at least 14 games in each of his 11 seasons. The Vikings have Sharrif Floyd waiting in the wings at the three-technique defensive tackle spot.

Vikings DT Kevin Williams (knee) is listed as probable for Week 2.

Williams will make his regular season debut Sunday against the Bears. Letroy Guion and Fred Evans will continue to rotate at nose tackle, with Sharrif Floyd getting limited snaps in backup duties.

Vikings DT Kevin Williams (knee) has been cleared to resume practicing.

Williams missed Sunday's opener with a knee injury, but is expected to play in Week 2. His return will immediately upgrade the Vikings' run defense. Letroy Guion and Fred Evans will continue to rotate at nose tackle, with Sharrif Floyd demoted to backup duties.

The Vikings have ruled out DT Kevin Williams (knee) for Week 1.

His return timetable is unclear. The Vikings are looking pretty smart right now after stealing surprise draft-day faller Sharrif Floyd in the first round.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune is skeptical DT Kevin Williams (knee) will play in Week 1 against the Lions.

Williams suffered a hyperextended knee, bone bruise, and posterior capsular strain in his knee during Minnesota's third preseason game. He's not practicing. If Williams can't go, first-round rookie Sharrif Floyd will get the start at three-technique tackle next to the Fred Evans-Letroy Guion nose tackle combo.

Vikings DT Kevin Williams has been diagnosed with a hyperextended knee, bone bruise, and posterior capsular strain.

The good news is, Williams avoided ligament damage and doesn't have a severe injury. The bad news is, he sounds week to week and there isn't much time left before the opener. If Williams can't play in Week 1 against the Lions, first-round pick Sharrif Floyd would get the start at three-technique tackle.

Vikings coach Leslie Frazier is "concerned" about the knee injury DT Kevin Williams suffered in Sunday's third preseason game, and Williams will undergo an MRI on Monday.

Williams got chop blocked by 49ers OG Joe Looney, and was none-too-pleased. "I was just upset that I'm getting cut 11 years in (the NFL) from a guy who I don't even know." It doesn't sound like Williams is dealing with a potentially season-ending injury, but we won't know for sure until Monday afternoon.

Vikings coach Leslie Frazier says DT Kevin Williams will play 30-40 snaps per game this year.

The Vikings can get away with scaling back Williams' usage after drafting first-rounder Sharrif Floyd, who plays the same three-technique position. "I'm sure he's more than capable of playing 50-60 snaps," Frazier said. "But I think it'll be better for our football team if we can get those snaps between 30 and 40." Williams ranked sixth in the NFL in snaps among 4-3 tackles last year.
