My thoughts:
Roy Williams signing
This guy is a big liability in coverage. I really don't like the signing at all. He's like too big for a safety and too small for a linebacker. He can hit hard, but he can't cover. I have no idea what they are planning on doing with this guy. Makes no sense to me.
Releasing Levi Jones
I think this is a mistake. Granted, he hasn't been healthy for a few years, but they could have waited until training camp to make a decision. If healthy, he'd be one of the top two tackles on the team (with Andre Smith). Jones could have played LT, Smith at RT this year as Smith is groomed to be the LT of the future. Furthermore, if they wanted Smith to play LT, they could have moved Jones to RT or made him the top backup at both spots. I think they lose some depth here at the least, a starter at most.
