It's something you have to understand about the NFL. Contracts are not binding to the extent they are in other arenas. Both players and owners know this.
The Dolphins could have cut Williams at any time for any reason, regardless of the fact that they made the same commitment to him. It's a risk players take (which is why signing bonuses are so popular), and it's a risk owners take (which is why escalators and incentives are so popular). Such is life in the NFL.
