Tampa Bay’s Buccaneer’s wide receiver Mike Williams has been in stabbed by his brother. Sources have confirmed that indeed Williams was stabbed in the thigh at his residence in Tampa on Sunday afternoon. Eric Baylor, Williams’ brother, was accused of the stabbing, and an arrest warrant has been issued for aggravated battery/domestic violence, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to NFL Media.
The Bucs have released a statement about this mater at hand; “We are aware of the situation that occurred at the residence of Mike Williams and are working with him and the authorities to get additional information,” the statement read. “While we have limited knowledge at this time, our primary concern is for the safety and well being of all involved. We will refrain from further comment until we can get a better understanding of the situation.”
This incident has been one of many by Williams. Newly Buc’s head coach Lovie Smith is tired of William’s shenanigans and has mentioned that Williams could get cut if he does not straighten up. “There’s a pattern here and it’s disturbing. No one is bigger than this football team,” Smith said in February. “He has to understand that. Have I been disappointed in Mike Williams? Of course,” Smith added. “There’s a standard. We’re just not going to put up with it, no matter who it is.”You have to be good on the field and off the field. Simple as that. And if you’re not doing what you need to do one or the other, you have problems and that’s where Mike has to take care of a few things.”
Despite Williams signing a $40 million 6 year contract last off-season he has not been productive on the offensive end. Coming off an injury last season that had kept him out the lineup for ten games, he had only 22 catches for 216 yards.
