I'm surprised the Bills didn't try him inside first like the Raiders did with Gallery. The reason OTs rarely bust out of the NFL is because if you move them inside, you're bound to find something they can do well. So he's likely worth a shot as a guard for some NFL team.
They did and he got injured. I personally would love to add him. Though he does seem a little to slow and if I remember right the WCO favors quicker OL.

However according to the article this doesn't seem like to much of a strech. Vinny loves Longhorn alum and Dockery will probably vouch for him.

After long days and nights of mulling a return, Williams, who turned 29 in January and says he is financially secure, decided he would make an effort. Early this year, he headed first to a training program in North Carolina before moving to suburban Washington. There he and his wife are house guests of former Longhorns teammate, offensive lineman Derrick Dockery, a Garland Lakeview product who plays for the Redskins, and his wife.

At times, Williams, who says he is at his previous playing weight but might still like to shed 20 pounds, and the relatively svelte 6-6, 345-pound Dockery work out together in the gym. But when Dockery heads off to the Redskins training facility, Williams works alone. He says he hasn't missed a day.

Even more reason to sign him. This could be a steal.
