NFL Free Agents 2011: Madieu Williams Reportedly Signs With 49ers

PrintMatt Maiocco and Matt Barrows seemed to simultaneously report via twitter that former Vikings safety Madieu Williams has agreed to terms with the 49ers on a one-year contract. Maiocco just added this post with some more info on Williams, as well.
Williams signed a hefty deal with the Vikings in 2007 only to have his first few seasons de-railed by injury. Once healthy Williams played fairly well, but as time went on he didn't seem to live-up to his contract. Williams was due $5.4 Million in 2011, thus prompting the Vikings to release him.
Williams is a very high-character guy, named the 2010 NFL Walter Payton "Man of the Year". He also generously donates money to his alma-mater, The University of Maryland, as well as operating the Madieu Williams Foundation - a charity that teaches youths the importance of fitness and nutrition.
This signing would seem to indicate the likelihood of Dashon Goldson not returning to the team with the other depth at the safety position and the relative lack of depth at Center, CB, and potentially WR.
After the jump are parts of the Yahoo! Sports scouting report on Williams from about a year ago.
When healthy, Williams has been a perennial starter in the league since his rookie season in 2004. He has good size and athleticism with deceptive strength for the safety position. He has good speed, quickness and burst off the hash and is able to cover effectively downfield. Williams has good lateral agility, balance and quickness to plant and redirect in space. He transitions well out of his peddle to close quickly to both the run and pass. He reacts quickly as a run-support player and to route progressions. He is a solid tackler and shows good pop and power on contact. Williams has had some durability problems in past seasons but stayed on the field in 2009.

Are you kidding...freaken Madieu Williams!
Can you spell… P-A-N-I-C!
The 9ers are losing their minds, i tell you, freak’en losing their minds!
Vikings' fans are laughing...
… he’s not a good player, by any means, in their book (at least the ones I know).
Just a depth / competition signing hopefully, though if he wins the job more power to him.
He's a FS, where we currently have CJ Spillman slated to start...
He’s a starter from the minute he walks onto the practice field. Don’t buy into what other teams say all the time, just like we are the first to judge our underperforming players, they will do the same. He was overpayed for his production in Minnesota, but on a one year deal here, I’m sure he’s going to be a solid contributor.

spillman is not slated to start there.
he practiced first squad because they are rotating players around at safety. furthermore this signing does not bode well for spillman to even make the team.

If a guy opens your first practice with the first team and you have no one else with more experience...
That guy is your starter until the coach says otherwise; or you sign someone who’s better.
more experience?
Taylor Mays, Reggie Smith, Chris Maragos have more experience playing defense than Spillman………………………
The coach said they would be rotating players at that position……………

They gave him reps then
because he was going to resign and then not get to be seen till the 4th or so. That’s the reason he played that day. So they could get some eyes on him.

OH NO....
i live in MN now and watched the last couple years of madieu williams and let me tell you….he makes goldson look like a first team ALL PRO, whether in coverage or in regards to tackling/hitting abilities….seriously, after watching williams play, goldson will seem like polamalu or ed reed…..williams will easily be beat for the starting spot or else WE ARE IN GRAVE TROUBLE..
Article seems to contradict the scouting report above
This fan article mentions that Madieu gave up lots of touchdown on coverage and stayed healthy a lot.
That said, this article feels like a kid wrote it, with lots of simplification. Not credible.

Not really an official author, but a fan written one it appears. Nonethless, it reflects poorly on Yahoo’s publishing standards I agree.
I'm just saying that, for me, it explains why the writing feels so childish
or at the very least, unprofessional. Like a fanpost here or something.
It's like any of us saying a guy sucks despite him being an average player

I don’t know about that. If you look at the championship teams they’ve had some serious big name talent…I think with Miami losing it amplified this idea of requiring a full team, but NBA champs still have some big names.

The Celtics, Lakers and Spurs have owned this NBA decade
They all have at least 3 very very good players / big names
True... I guess when I made the comment I was just thinking about teams like the Thunder, Grizzlies, Hawks...
I mean, they didn’t win the championship, but any of the three could be close. But it is because they play as a unit. It’s easier with 5 than it is with 22. I guess that is the point.

Basketball needs a diverse talent base. Some people think only of big time scorers. Even the Bulls only had 2 really great scores, with role players than can play D, rebound and chip in scoring a couple times a series.
In Basketball every championship team has had a "Superstar" on the team
Sad thing about that is only 8 teams have won a championship in the NBA in the last 30 years.

From what I can tell
he had an off year last season. Hopefully he can rebound. I still think he’s better than Goldson
If he could have played like that Arizona game on MNF, he would be the best safety in the league.
Unfortunately, I think that was just a fluke. His stats were pretty inflated by that one game alone in 2009.

Williams
Your telling me people are critical of a starting safety from one of the best Def in the NFL from the past 3 years. Not a bad signing at all. I approve and if they can get Rodgers it would make me feel a lot better about the secondary.
Any word on Franklin?
When you have the best front line at stopping the run and getting to the QB it makes your secondary look really good

I'm for the Madieu Clements signing
as long as the contract is reasonable, which given our FO, I’m pretty sure it is. Nice to have a true FS come in, he’s a solid player, a good addition and he needed a new start given all the injuries he has sustained over the past few years. As long as he stays healthy for at least the first half of the season he was a good choice.

that was before the UDFAs signed
not saying I’d be against picking up cotchery for a 4th or 5th round pick, just don’t think it’s likely to happen.
Stats last year
Morgan—878 snaps
Cotchery—979 snaps
Morgan—Thrown at 73 times
Cotchery—Thrwon at 110 times
Morgan—71.2% caught
Cotchery—64.7% caught
Morgan—10.1 yards per catch
Cotchery—14.3 yards per catch
Morgan—4.8 Yards After Catch
Cotchery—4.9 YAC
Cotchery is significantly better at his yards per catch and that alone makes him an improvement of Josh “Always Short” Morgan

Lets see Cotchery stats in the Air Raye offense
I’ve watched this guy a lot the last two seasons. He’s a got a bit of that Arnaz Battle him, puts up good stats when the team is getting killed while doing it just often enough to stay on the team. He works the slot, but the last two years cannot get open when you really need him to.

Cause that is all Cotchery can do. Morgan is bit a deep of threat along with being a much better blocker.
sd377 wants to ban me for unleashing the Kaepernick Supernova Gamma Ray
He's just not a good one
I’m not trying to make an argument that Morgan is better than what he is. He’s a low end #2 WR and top end #3 WR. Cotchery although much better earlier in his career is pretty non-descript #3 WR these days. A team could get rid of him and not miss him.
sd377 wants to ban me for unleashing the Kaepernick Supernova Gamma Ray
I think it's weird to say somebodys a bad threat
It’s like, how is he a deep threat if he’s not good at it?
You can send RJF down on a fly route, and he’d technically be threatening down the field. But he’d be terrible at it.
I can understand this comment
Morgan can occasionally get deep and catch a ball. I wouldn’t call him a deep threat per say, but its in the skill set. Kinda like a boxer who can throw a jab, it’s just not a good one. The fact that he throws it means it needs to be accounted for.
Morgan can also break off runs after the catch. Crotchery, that ability abandoned him two years ago. He’s a slot catch and flop. Can’t out run anyone, can’t break a tackle.
sd377 wants to ban me for unleashing the Kaepernick Supernova Gamma Ray
I am going to reserve judgment on the 49ers WR
just because I think our offensive gameplans were so poor.
Never followed Crotchery, so I wouldn’t know.
I'm sorry but you need to check those stats
FO has Morgan at 55% catch rate, and Cotchery at 48%.
They also have Morgan at 15.9 Yards per catch and Cotchery at 10.6.
For YAC they have Morgan at 6.8 and Cotchery at 2.7.
Maybe you are looking at somebody else by mistake?
Clearly somebody has not spent enough time

and noticing how their main WRs weren’t getting it done…then Sanchez goes to Cotch and he makes a big play…this was in 2 playoff games where he pretty much opened the game up for them while Edwards and co. weren’t doing anything. Plus i noticed how he didnt get much time in those games for whatever reason and he still delivered.
thats why i consider him clutch

Morgan is so overrated
He was great originally because he did well for a 6th round pick, but there are far better players available than Morgan on the market. Cotchery is an upgrade imo for sure. For all the short routes he runs, he drops far too many balls to start with.
Alex Smith 86%+ QB rating with 22+ TDs in 2012, hopefully! :)
Morgan isn't being overrated
He is rated just fine for the QBs throwing at him.

Who's overrating Morgan?
I think most people talk about him in a back-handed compliment or mocking type of way than anything. Of the comments I read I think most agree he’s a good/solid #3WR rather than a #2.
sorry to the people who like spillman, almost no chance spillman makes the roster unless there are a few injuries.

Yeah, but look who made that decision...
A better coach might not do it Singletary’s way.
niners keep four safeties. the 2nd stringers usually play special teams. special teams is going to be very competitive this year. past two drafts have brought in a plethora of players that play special teams.

Everyone is so critical of him… we sat here for days hoping that they did sign someone and now when they do people aren’t happy with a vet starter from a good Def. If we over paid for Goldson would you be happy? Its a one year deal for a vet… let it be and see what he can do
We had a decent pass rush last year
and Williams is better than Goldson and Smith, so either way we get an upgrade at that position.
I'd much rather have Goldson.
I was hoping they signed someone at other positions, mainly CB, not at safety.
"I may be an idiot, but one thing I'm not sir, is an idiot." - Peter Griffin
he missed 9 games in the last three years

Looks as if it will be Aubrayo, Smith and McDonald
With Soap in the rotation for both NT and DE. That’s a great D-line imo. Just need an OLB and a CB for the D, and we should be set. Great job FO!
Alex Smith 86%+ QB rating with 22+ TDs in 2012, hopefully! :)
for all the complaints about the FO,
It must be said, they were brilliant on how they dealt with Aubrayo. Looks as if he will have got an extremely team friendly contract
Alex Smith 86%+ QB rating with 22+ TDs in 2012, hopefully! :)
I wonder how much of it is brilliance
and how much is just luck that the other teams in the league signed their NT’s.
Anyway, good to see him back!
It's safe to say...
The 49ers FO knows more about football and player personnel than any of us so it’s probably a safe bet to side w/ their judgement…

This
If we got him back cheap I’m pleased. If we paid him anywhere close to what we paid him last year on a one year contract I’m disappointed, as we’ll just be in the same boat next year and it would have been better to bite the bullet this one.
$810,000 is the contract price
according to the comments below
I'm w/ you...
BUT, here’s the thing: If the FO lets Franklin walk, then they’re crucified for being cheap by NN. If they sign him for a large amount, there are still going to be haters so cynical that they’ll rant and rave about the FO overpaying for an aging DT, etc. Really, the FO can’t win the fan appreciation award, and I’m glad they don’t really give a flying F. Just let them do their jobs and see what happens on the field…

That Goldson will be re-signed. The fact that Williams was picked up on a vet minimum deal, may be because A) a bargaining ploy to reduce Goldson’s demands as he isn’t needed as greatly any more, and B) Good veteran back-up
