EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) - The Minnesota Vikings named cornerback Brian Williams as their transition player on Thursday, which prevents him from becoming an unrestricted free agent.
By league rules, the Vikings must tender Williams a one-year qualifying offer at the average of the 10 highest-paid players at his position or 120 percent of his 2005 salary — whichever is greater. The transition figure for a cornerback this season is $4.774 million.
Williams will still be allowed to sign an offer sheet with another team, which Minnesota would have a week to match.
