Former Buffalo Bills running back Karlos Williams has walked back some statements he made reflecting on his past with the Bills while speaking to The Athletic.
Williams did not hold back when discussing the Bills’ general manager back in the day, Doug Whaley. The former back who had a strong breakout season in 2018 used some profanity laced words in the interview, and find a way to make it worse than that.
“Doug Whaley can die in a hole and drink bleach. I’m dead serious,” Williams said.
Whaley, who now works as an executive in the XFL, apparently made Williams mad when the Bills drafted Jonathan Williams and signed Reggie Bush, he explained. Since the story was released on Thursday, Williams has now apologized:
Yesterday I did an interview with @TheAthletic when asked about being released in buffalo I was emotional and it's still a hard time and hard to deal with but I should have kept my opinions to myself and with everything going on I apologize for my comments about Doug Whaley.

The former fifth-round pick of the Bills was eventually released by the team in August 2016 after showing up to training camp out of shape and being suspended for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. He did eventually latch on with the Steelers, but then had a third suspension attached to his name. On February 21, 2019, he was reinstated by the NFL but hasn’t been signed by a team.
Williams conducted the interview because he’s attempting to make a comeback in the future with the CFL. He signed a 2020 futures contract with the Toronto Argonauts. Williams added in the interview he refused to play in the recent XFL season because of Whaley’s role with the team.
