Sylvester Williams, a free agent defensive tackle who played last season for the Tennessee Titans, has signed with the Detroit Lions. The 29-year-old Williams was the Broncos’ first-round draft pick in 2013 and spent four years in Denver before going to Tennessee last year. Williams signed a three-year, $16.5 million deal in 2017, but the Titans cut him after one year. (NBC Sports)
