Report: Dolphins to host recently released Mario Williams

Phil Sears / USA TODAY Sports

An AFC East foe is looking to profit off the Buffalo Bills' recent decision to release veteran pass-rusher Mario Williams.

Williams will visit the Miami Dolphins on Saturday, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

It's difficult to imagine the Dolphins fitting Williams under their salary cap as it stands currently, but perhaps the team is planning to release Cameron Wake or preparing for the possibility that transition-tag player Olivier Vernon departs for another team.

Williams had two years remaining on a six-year, $100-million contract when the Bills released him. The move came as no surprise, as Williams' production dropped to just five sacks in 2015 and he publicly expressed discontent with Rex Ryan's defensive scheme.
