Former Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams called David Gettleman a "snake" in a tweet minutes after news broke that Carolina fired its general manager.

Williams added that he's now open to returning to the franchise since Gettleman is gone.

Williams said last week the Panthers were among four teams he wouldn't sign with. The Dallas Cowboys, Cleveland Browns, and Jacksonville Jaguars are the others.
