The newest member of the Seahawks spent his first day as an NFL player outside of the New York area on Wednesday. After spending his entire career playing for the Jets or the Giants, Williams was traded on Monday to the Pacific Northwest in the middle of his ninth professional season.
Williams said he appreciated how the trade process happened with Giants general manager Joe Schoen keeping Williams and his representatives informed and involved until the deal was finished. Williams will join a deep defensive line group for Seattle that includes Jarran Reed, Dre’Mont Jones, Mario Edwards Jr. and a host of edge rushers. The Seahawks have been one of the best teams in the league in stopping the run this season, giving up fewer than 100 yards per game rushing and only 3.57 yards per carry.
