Williams, who has spent 10 season with the Vikings and turns 33 in August, is not the player he once was, but is still a valuable contributor on the Vikings defensive line. The six-time Pro Bowl selection totaled 30 tackles, two sacks, and seven passes deflections in 2012 and eats up blockers to allow other Vikings defenders to make plays.
With Williams' restructured contract the Vikings are now $6.913 million under the adjusted salary cap. Next offseason Williams will join the rest of the Vikings starting defensive line including Jared Allen, Brian Robison, and Everson Griffen in becoming unrestricted free agents.
