09:11 AM ET 06.09 | Is D.J. Williams trying to find trouble? In what has to be considered a serious breach of security in the secretive world that is the NFL, Williams posted what appeared to be six formations of one defensive play from the Broncos' playbook on his Twitter account Friday. A team official quickly contacted Williams and the plays have been deleted from his account. "We're aware of the matter, and it's been addressed internally," a team official said. Besides a photo of the six plays -- or six formations of one play -- that had the label of "Sink Sam 1 Tite (Formation Adjustment)," Williams also tweeted: "Coach told me I have to learn a new position over the weekend." Stating that he was moving to a new position also revealed team information. Williams is a weakside linebacker who has started at four linebacker positions through his first eight seasons with the Broncos -- weakside (called Will), middle (Mike), strongside (Sam) and inside Mike in the 3-4 system.

I don't think you could call this one any clearer than you did. Idiot! Maybe he's getting paid under the table by Bob Kraft.

Morning Mangler. That's because he couldn't read the plays.

Sometime very soon, NFL teams are going to write "No Twitter" clauses into their contracts.

Morning all, it seems "a team official " caught it, the teams must pay someone to check up on these idiots twitter accounts. You can't fix stupid, so they need damage control.

I'll bet they are required to report all their social media accounts. Wouldn't be a bad gig though; just spending the day monitoring players' sites.
