Buffalo Bills defensive lineman Kyle Williams will call it a career this weekend, playing his final game against the Miami Dolphins. He told Bills brass on Monday, his teammates this week, and Bills fans on Friday morning.
While you won’t see a lot from current teammates since they’ve been at practice, a host of his former teammates weighed in on social media. We will continue to update this following practice and into the weekend.

Congrats to Kyle Williams on an incredible career. I learned so much from you as a player, leader, husband and father. I'm grateful I got to be your teammate. I'll miss watching you on the field but happy you're walking away on your terms and I'm excited for your next chapter!

One of the best athletes I’ve been around. Watched him hit 8 HRs in BP in Toronto and the same week shoot even par at Wanakah in Buff! Not to mention was one of the most dominant DL in the NFL! All this to go along with being a great leader, teammate, and father. Congrats Kyle! https://t.co/LT89f5SZqA
