Williams (knee) was released by the Patriots on Friday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.
Williams tore his ACL in a practice session last June and sat behind five tight ends on New England's depth chart prior to his release. While the blocking specialist will now seek an opportunity elsewhere, his departure leaves James O'Shaughnessy, Rob Housler and Matthew Lengel to battle for the Patriots' No. 3 tight end gig this offseason.
