Joshua Williams: Everything you need to know

Williams and the Titans agreed on a two-year contract Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Williams will head to Tennessee after four seasons with the Chiefs, most recently operating primarily as a special-teams asset in 2025. The cornerback played in 15 regular-season contests, logging 255 of his 272 total snaps with the special teams unit, ultimately compiling six total tackles (four solo) during the 2025 campaign. Williams will now look to compete for a starting role in the Titans' secondary in 2026, while the team has also added Alontae Taylor from the Saints and Cor'Dale Flott from the Giants at cornerback so far in free agency.

Williams played on 393 defensive snaps and on 220 special-teams snaps during the 2024 regular season, recording 33 tackles (19 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and six pass breakups. The 2022 fourth-round pick's snap counts were similar the last two years: 312 on defense and 303 on special teams in 2023 and 414 on defense and 215 on special teams in 2022. Williams was believed to have a chance at starting opposite Trent McDuffie going into the 2024 campaign, but Jaylen Watson ended up taking over that role. Williams is entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2025.
