CB Darious Williams will return to Los Angeles, according to reports
After an active start to the NFL’s free agency legal tampering period on Monday, the Los Angeles Rams made another splash early Tuesday morning and agreed to terms with cornerback Darious Williams.
Williams spent four seasons of his career in Los Angeles with two as a full-time starter, including in 2021 when the team earned a historic victory in Super Bowl LVI. The corner signed a significant free agent deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars following the Super Bowl season, and he was released just before the start of this year’s new league year.
Jacksonville’s decision to release Williams this offseason doesn’t seem to be motivated by performance. Williams is still playing at the height of his powers and was tied for Pro Football Focus’ (PFF) fifth-highest coverage corner in 2023 while playing over 1,000 snaps for the Jaguars. He was tied with Derek Stingley, and only grading ahead of him were the likes of DaRon Bland, Charvarius Ward, Sauce Gardner, and Jaylon Johnson. That’s good company to be in.
