The Seattle Seahawks are making some big moves this offseason, and the latest one is sure to excite their fans. On Tuesday, the team announced that they had signed free agent defensive lineman Leonard Williams to a three-year deal worth up to $39 million.
Williams, who was drafted sixth overall by the New York Jets in 2015, is a 6-foot-5, 302-pound force on the defensive line. He has recorded 24 sacks in his five-year career and has been named to the Pro Bowl twice. He was also named an All-Pro in 2019.
The Seahawks are hoping that Williams can help them improve their pass rush and bolster their defense. They ranked 20th in the league last season in sacks, and Williams should help them get back to their dominant ways.
Williams is excited to join the Seahawks and experience a “fun change” in his career. He said in a statement, “I’m really excited to be joining the Seahawks and I’m looking forward to being part of a great organization and a great team. I’m ready to help this team win and I’m looking forward to the fun change.”
The Seahawks are hoping that Williams can help them return to the playoffs after missing out last season. With Williams on board, they have added another big piece to their defense and are looking forward to seeing what he can do for them.
Williams is sure to bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the team, and it will be exciting to see how he fits into the defense. The Seahawks have made some big moves this offseason, and they are hoping that Williams can help them get back to their winning ways.
