The Facts:
According to a league source, the Panthers reached an agreement on a five-year contract with Williams, their first-round draft pick, around 11 p.m. Thursday night, capping a pressure-packed day of negotiations. Williams is scheduled to report to training camp today along with his teammates for meetings. The Panthers begin two-a-day practices on Saturday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Williams is expected to play a big role in Carolina's offense as a backup to DeShaun Foster, who is coming off a broken ankle that knocked him out of the playoffs last season. The Panthers hope to use Williams as a primary kick returner for a unit that finished 30th in the league in kickoff return average last season.
