The Dolphins have agreed to sign Connor Williams (Twitter link via Adam Schefter of ESPN.com). The former Cowboys offensive lineman will take his talents to South Beach on a two-year, $14MM deal with $7.5MM fully guaranteed.

This year’s guard market was headlined by the likes of Brandon Scherff, Laken Tomlinson, Alex Cappa, and Mark Glowinski. Scherff (Jaguars, $16.5MM/year) and Tomlinson (Jets, $13.3MM/year) found huge paydays earlier this week, clearing the way for the next tier of interior lineman like Williams.
Williams emerged as a key piece of the Cowboys’ front five as a rookie in 2018. All together, he’s started in 51 of his 57 games, improving steadily from 2018 through 2020. Last year, however, he got a little bit sloppy as he drew 15 flags on the year. The Cowboys shuffled him in and out of the lineup at times, an indication that they’d look to upgrade at guard.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins have welcomed back one of their own Williams-es on Tuesday. Wide receiver Preston Williams, who has struggled to stay healthy throughout his career, agreed to a one-year deal that could pay ~$2MM.
Thank God cowboys finally got rid of this guy .a sign post blocks better than this guy.all he did well was hold.
He will fit in well in Miami
I have been very critical of Jerrah but this is by far his best move of the offseason. Followed by the Gregory re-sign. Just goes to show that even blind hogs can find acorns.
Gregory isn’t resigning. He’s a Bronco now
So what.it isn’t like Charles Haley or randy white left .Micah had 3 less sacks last season.than Gregory has in his whole career.there are tons of edge rushers available this year in free agency and draft
Good riddance!
All they need to improve at the position is find a guy that can remember the snap count!
Williams is the very best “LOOK OUT!!!!” blocker ever.
Enjoy the holding penalties

Connor Williams takes a lot of holding penalties.
