Williams was a Ravens second-round pick in 2015 and spent four seasons with the team. His best pass-catching season came as a rookie, when he had 32 receptions for 268 yards and a touchdown. Used primarily as a run-blocker last season, Williams caught 16 passes for 147 yards.

The Ravens are deep at tight end with Mark Andrews, Hayden Hurst, and Nick Boyle, who was re-signed to a three-year contract in March.

With Arizona, the 25-year-old Williams will be reunited with former Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs, who signed with the Cardinals during free agency.
