Details of C Connor Williams' contract with the Seahawks

The NFL is a hard league to win in. Hardly breaking news, I know. But every so often you catch a lucky break or two. For the Seattle Seahawks, this is exactly the case with Connor Williams. It is not every day that an interior offensive lineman of his caliber becomes available, and it is even fewer days when he is affordable for a team pushed against the salary cap.

Yet, this is the scenario where Seattle finds themselves in. Williams, recovering from an ACL tear last year, was a free agent all the way into August. That is, until he found his new NFL home in the Emerald City.

We knew Williams was signed by the Seahawks to a one-year deal worth up to $6 million. Now we know how it all breaks down.

Williams, when healthy, has been one of the better centers in the NFL for the last couple of seasons. Suffering an ACL injury at the end of the season last year as his contract was expiring was unfortunate timing. Williams is likely gambling on himself a bit to prove he can still be the player he once was.

If he is able to be successful, the Seahawks are going to be the ones to help reap the rewards.
