Our resident Cornhuskers fans know him from his days as a third-team All-American in Lincoln. He's your typical undersized Will with good speed and athleticism, but isn't that tough. He racks up a lot of tackles in pursuit, but can be manhandled easily. A solid coverage linebacker.

For the price, I think he's a decent pick up for Kansas City. He is a pretty good athlete, and will make a few plays if they get the fence in front of him.

Chiefs agree to terms with Falcons linebacker
By ADAM TEICHER
The Kansas City Star

The Chiefs agreed to contract terms with linebacker Demorrio Williams on Saturday night.

The contract is for five years, is worth $16 million and contains $5.5 million in guaranteed money.

Williams, 27, played all four of his NFL seasons with the Falcons. He is a three-year starter at outside linebacker.

Williams will likely join Derrick Johnson in the starting lineup at outside linebacker with Donnie Edwards moving to middle linebacker.

Napoleon Harris will lose his starting spot. The Chiefs signed Harris as a free agent last year to be their starting middle linebacker, but they were disappointed in his play.

Williams was Atlanta’s fourth-round draft pick in 2004. He played in college at Nebraska.

Demorrio is a good athletic LB in the mold of Ian Gold but doesn't offer any physical ability to shed blocks or fight through traffic.
