Williams has had multiple off the field incidents since signing his six-year, $40.25 million deal with the Buccaneers last year including misdemeanor charges of criminal mischief and trespassing. New Bucs coach Lovie Smith commented on Williams back in February and has not commented on the latest incident which was described as a domestic dispute and not simple horseplay.

"There's a pattern here and it's disturbing. No one is bigger than this football team. He has to understand that.”
The Buccaneers have a decision to make on Williams’ future in Tampa and Williams needs to get his life in order before something worse than a “minor laceration” happens to him.
