Latest Fantasy Rumors
Veteran insurance for Chargers
DTLos Angeles Chargers
May 19, 2023
Williams' signing with the Chargers on Friday is an attempt to address the uncertain early season status of two starting defensive linemen, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams brings nine seasons of experience and can serve as a solid run-blocking presence. Thiry explains the move is largely designed to guard against the potential unavailability of Austin Johnson and Otito Ogbonnia, who suffered season-ending knee and quadriceps injuries, respectively, midway through the 2022 campaign. Williams has prior experience with Chargers head coach Brandon Staley as well, as both were with the Bears during the 2018 and 2019 seasons.

Many thought Williams' breakout 2019 campaign was too good to be true, and his 2020 performance more or less confirmed that notion. While the Lions' new coaching staff will give the 30-year-old a chance to redeem himself in the team's new 3-4 defense, Williams is not even a lock to make the team.
Possibly a late-bloomer, Williams' career was going nowhere fast before a breakout 2019 campaign with the Bears in which he exploded for 42 tackles and six sacks over 16 games. The Lions are now betting that production wasn't an anomaly despite Williams never coming close to those stats prior to his age-29 season. Regardless if they are right, the two-year, $10 million contract Williams signed suggests he should have plenty of opportunties to claim a starting role early on.
Williams saw minimal action in two games for the Chiefs in 2014, failing to record any stats. He has a slim chance to earn a roster spot with the team in 2015 as depth on the defensive line.
.
Williams will likely spend most of the 2013 season on Pittsburgh's practice squad.
