In 89 career games, including 63 starts, Williams has accumulated 132 tackles, including 5.5 sacks.

New Orleans also added fullback Michael Burton, a 4-year veteran.

The 27-year old Burton played for the Detroit Lions for two seasons (2015-2016), before spending two seasons (2017-2018) with the Chicago Bears.

The 6-foot, 240-pound Burton has 8 career carries for 11 yards, while catching 9 passes for 53 yards and a touchdown.
