Connor Williams agrees to one-year deal with Seahawks​

Free agent offensive lineman Connor Williams has agreed to terms with the Seahawks.

The one-year deal is worth up to $6 million with $3 million guaranteed, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Williams worked out for the Seahawks on July 22.

He is coming back from a “significant” knee injury that included a torn ACL during a Dec. 11 game against the Titans. Williams’ agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said earlier this week that Williams is healthy and will be ready to play Week 1.

not even a year since the injury; frankly he would have been better sitting out this year and getting ready for next season

ACL recovery has shortened over time. A six month recovery before starting intense workouts isn't unreasonable anymore. I thought he might join a team a month or so into this season. I saw no reason for him to sit an entire year. Make as much money as you can when you can. There is always a risk, but it seems worth it.

actually evidence is pretty conclusive that it takes a full year to come back. Steele is not the first one like that.
FOR full recovery your six month claim is VERY rare

I didn't say full recovery. I said it can take as little as 6 months before starting intense workouts. Plus it has already been 8 months since he was injured. And while they are saying he will be ready by the start of the season, I could see them sitting him for a bit. That would add a minimum of another month before he is playing. These guys have the best tools at their service, so they can hit that rare rapid recovery time more than an average person. The overall point is he doesn't need to sit out an entire season and lose that income. He may not be at 100%, but he is better off giving it a go rather than sitting and not getting paid something.

To be blunt unless he blew all that he had made it would be better to make sure he is fully recovered rather than look bad because he is not.
Sometimes instant gratification does not come; sometimes it is intelligent to wait.
