Twitter: Connor Williams signs with Dolphins

[PAPPYDOG]

Another successful 2nd round pick by Jerry!!!

This is actually hilarious!!!

It's sad reading the Dolphins message board. They think they stole a good one because he has 51 starts

 

[Whyjerry]

The guy sucked.

Fairly reasonable deal with limited risk. Despite the penalty issues can be a solid starter.

A mediocre at best guard can be an effective starter when he's amongst the league leaders in penalties? Seriously?

 

[coogrfan]

I would have kept him for that. A young guy just entering his prime.

He's a longhorn OL. Odds are he's never gonna have a prime.

Two year deal? His market must have been as soft as Dalrymple after losing his phone.

He needed a change in scenery I think he was being targeted to a degree for ticky tack stuff. His pass blocking was solid here, I thought he didn't hold up as well with run blocking.

Curious to see if Miami moves Williams to tackle, where he played in college.

Tackle ? Get eaten up . His holding would be even more obvious .

Who is gonna play guard this year?

Anyone who can stand upright.

Anyone who can stand upright.

We tried that last year with our jumbo fullback and he was a turnstile

 

[Crown Royal]

Wow - I'm glad they let him go (it was time), but I figured that a guy with 51 starts, limited injuries and consistent (albeit sometimes flawed) play would do better than that in an OL starved league. I thought he'd get more like 3 years, 24M with about 10-12 guaranteed.

Ah well,best of luck!

Williams was consistent all right - consistently being pushed into Dak Prescott! That sounds like a JJ talking point about Connor Williams - "He's very consistent" LOLOL
Hard worker and good attitude, but physically overmatched in almost every measurable metric.

Well, they could put a tackling dummy in there and not have to pay 'em.

 

[Captain-Crash]

good for him. now get rid of the weak center. the guards can't cover for him every game.

 

[plasticman]

C'mon, you guys know he is going to play great for Miami and end up in the Pro Bowl.

Was it the player.....or the system? Did any Cowboy lineman, besides Mr. Consistent at RG had a great season?
