Cadillac Williams To Get Cut?

Despite recent favorable comments by Buccaneers head coach Jon Gruden and GM Bruce Allen regarding the rehabilitation process of RB Cadillac Williams from a torn patellar tendon, rumors are swirling around Tampa Bay that Williams could be released this off-season.

Caddy is confident that he’ll be ready to comeback and play again sometime in 2008, but that confidence and hard work might not be enough to convince the coaches that he’s worthy of waiting on. Warrick Dunn is primed to play a big role this season, and even though Earnest Graham is semi-holding out right now, he’ll eventually get to camp and compete to be the team’s primary back at the start of the season.

If Williams is cut, we expect him to eventually return to the NFL and give it a shot as a back-up somewhere. His career isn’t over. We would also expect Tampa to then pursue another experienced runner. Not Kevin Jones - as he’s also returning from a knee injury - but perhaps Shaun Alexander.
