The other Roy Williams -- a perennial Pro Bowl safety who spent seven seasons with the Cowboys and two with the Bengals -- quietly has disappeared from the NFL’s radar screen.

According to NewsOK.com, Williams will be a pregame host and sideline reporter for Oklahoma University, where he played college football.

Williams says that he received an offer from a West Coast team, but he decided not to take it. That said, he’s not closing the door on playing again.

“My body is telling me that I am making the right moves, but if the right offer came along I guess I’d have to think about [playing again],” Williams said.

A first-team All Pro in 2003, Williams was named to five straight Pro Bowl teams.
