Ravens Cut Guard Bobbie Williams

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) -- The Baltimore Ravens have terminated the contract of guard Bobbie Williams, who played in all four playoff games for the Super Bowl champions.

Williams, 36, played 13 regular-season games with Baltimore after signing as a free agent before the 2012 season. The 13-year veteran played previously for Philadelphia and Cincinnati.

Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome says, "Bobbie is first-class in every way. ... We thank him for helping us win the championship."

The 6'4",  345-pound Williams started six games for Baltimore and was a positive influence in the locker room.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh says, "To come in here for one season and fit the way he did says a lot about him. We are all better for having Bobbie on the Ravens for a season."
