Bernard Williams Shocked by Eagles' Decision to Cut Him at 51
Bernard Williams, a former offensive tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles, was surprised to learn that he had been cut from the team at the age of 51, despite not having played in the NFL for 29 years. Williams, who had applied for benefits for former players, was informed by a scout for the Green Bay Packers that his name had appeared on the transaction wire. He had assumed the Eagles had released him years ago, but it turns out they had kept his rights all this time. Williams, still a fan of the team, was unaware that he was technically still on the roster until recently.
