POSTED: 8:36 pm EDT May 6, 2009

(Sports Network) - The Cincinnati Bengals have agreed to terms with former Dallas Cowboys safety Roy Williams, according to a story on the Bengals' website and confirmed by Williams' agent Jordan Woy.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

The five-time Pro Bowler was released by the Cowboys in early March after being selected with the 10th overall selection in the 2002 NFL Draft.

The 28-year-old, who appeared in just three games in 2008 because of arm problems, had 512 tackles, 56 passes defensed, 19 interceptions and 6 1/2 sacks in 94 games, including 89 starts with Dallas.

Williams will be reunited with Mike Zimmer, who served as his defensive coordinator for five seasons with the Cowboys. In that span, Williams averaged over 90 tackles to go along with 17 interceptions.
