Leon Williams Update

Leon Williams has outperformed a rookie contract that expires after this season. Williams would potentially have the leverage to force a new deal if he became an unrestricted free agent after this year if he has another solid year. But he will only be a UFA if the league collective bargaining agreement is extended. If not, Jackson could be tied to the Browns for two more seasons as a restricted free agent -- which gives the Browns all the cards.
