Milton Williams was set to go to the Carolina Panthers during the first day of NFL free agency. It was reported he was finalizing a multi-year deal with Carolina, which took him off the board for several other teams.
But then Williams switched gears and signed with the New England Patriots.
In an interview with NFL Network’s “The Insiders,” the defensive tackle said deals were coming from different teams, but the Panthers — at that time — presented the best offer. So he planned to sign with them.
