Former Dolphins OL Connor Williams Joins Seahawks on One-Year, $6M Contract

Connor Williams was poised to be a highly coveted free agent before a torn ACL cut his 2023 season short and derailed his 2024 plans.

Williams’ longer-than-expected free agency has concluded with the interior offensive lineman signing a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks that’s worth up to $6 million with $3 million guaranteed, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday night.

Having played four seasons with the Dallas Cowboys and the last two with the Miami Dolphins, Williams is still just 27 years old and has 77 starts under his belt. He started nine games last year for Miami before tearing his ACL.

Williams, the No. 51 free agent on Gregg Rosenthal’s Top 101, should be a significant upgrade for the Seahawks where it’s at center or guard. However, he was injured in December, so just how quickly he can return to action is a quandary that still needs to be answered.

Nonetheless, the former Cowboys second-round pick has found a new home.
