Corey Dillon did that to Cincy last year, was that better because he honored his contract but claimed injury, was detrimental to the team and just was a negative in every way. Williams could easily have done that.
I understand what you are saying, but teams don't show loyalty and cut players days before the season or mid season. Then those players are left chasing teams trying to get signed on. Look what the Browns did to Kevin Johnson last year.
And in every sport but baseball the teams usually don't have to pay because the contracts aren't guaranteed.
Again, I'd rather see a player walk away at the top of his game then be a joke and shadow of what he once was.

I'd rather him sign a contract he could live up to.
