What happened: Jeremy Fowler says the All-Pro defensive tackle is nearing another three-year agreement with Seattle, per sources. The deal would extend Williams beyond his current contract, which runs through the 2026 season.

Why it matters: Seattle is working to retain a defensive cornerstone as the reigning champions prepare for their title defense. Williams has anchored the defensive front since arriving in 2023.

By the numbers: Williams recorded 62 tackles, seven sacks, nine tackles for loss and 22 quarterback hits across 17 starts in 2025.

What to watch: Final terms and confirmation of an agreement are the next developments to watch.
