Goes on retired list
The Seahawks placed Williams (personal) on the reserve/retired list Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log. Williams' decision to retire was abruptly announced by head coach Mike Macdonald Friday. Williams , who was selected by the Cowboys in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, will end his NFL career having played 92 games (86 starts) across seven regular seasons.
Announces retirement
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald announced Friday that Williams (personal) has decided to retire, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Williams was away from the team during practice this week, and Macdonald relayed that Williams' decision came down to "personal reasons. We respect that, wish him the best, and we've got to move forward," per John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site. Williams signed a one-year deal with Seattle in early August after suffering a torn ACL in December of 2023 while playing with Miami. Williams served as the Seahawks' starting center for the first nine games of the regular season, but now that he's decided to step aside, Olusegun Oluwatimi is the top candidate to take over at center.
Finds new home
Williams signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the Seahawks on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Williams suffered a torn ACL in December, but he passed a physical and began talking to teams July 24. The 27-year-old should be an upgrade for Seattle's offensive line and the favorite to be their new starting center in 2024.
Passes physical, talking with teams
Williams (knee) passed a physical administered by the Seahawks on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Williams ended last season on the Dolphins' injured reserve after sustaining a torn ACL in Week 14 against the Titans. Williams is in negotiations with the Seahawks after passing his physical, and while the two sides are working on a deal, the veteran lineman is still speaking with other teams, per Schefter.
Eyeing return from injury
Williams (knee) expects to be ready for the start of the 2024 season and plans to sign with a team before the start of training camp, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Williams sustained a torn ACL in December and finished out the 2023 campaign on Miami's injured reserve. The 27-year-old center started 26 games over the past two seasons with the Dolphins, though he battled injuries and appeared in just nine contests last season. Williams will likely look to sign with a team in need of interior offensive line depth this offseason.
