Retires from NFL
The Rams placed Williams on the reserve/retired list Saturday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams spent six of his eight-year NFL career with the Rams, including for each of the last two seasons after playing for the Jaguars from 2022 to 2023. He was a key piece to the Rams' secondary during their Super Bowl LVI run in 2021. The UAB product will end his professional career with 306 total tackles, 77 pass defenses (12 interceptions, including one pick-six), two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 104 regular-season games.

The veteran cornerback had a rough start to his first season back with the Rams after signing a three-year, $22.5 million deal last offseason. Williams landed on injured reserve to start the year with a hamstring injury, and in 12 games after his return, he recorded 45 tackles and an interception among seven pass defenses. The 32-year-old has plenty of competition with Cobie Durant, Ahkello Witherspoon, Derion Kendrick and even Quentin Lake all looking for snaps at cornerback.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Facing prove-it year
Williams could be a cut candidate following the 2025 season, Sarah Barshop of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams is entering the second season of a three-year contract with the Rams, and he has no guaranteed money beyond 2025. He is in line to start, the Rams have plenty of depth at corner to put pressure on Williams, a group led by Quentin Lake and Cobie Durant. Williams was limited to 12 regular-season games in 2024, but he did manage one interception and seven pass breakups.
