According to Jason Cole they signed him through 2013 as part of the trade. He's only 26. Get used to Williams being part of the Cowpuffs for years.
I think this is a good move for them. The real weakness of their offense was their #2-#5 WR's, none of whom could draw coverage from TO.
This is also bad for them. Despite the fact that they had previously stockpiled draft picks and so will still have a draft, they gave up half of a normal draft for just this one guy. And they have a bunch of needs on the defensive side of the ball. This move makes them look more like the Fouts Chargers - all offense and no defense - which can get you to the playoffs but won't win the big dance, where defense is required. And down the road they will face salary cap troubles.
He won't be up to speed in their offense until Thanksgiving or so.
