The Seattle Seahawks are always in the market to improve their offensive line, and perhaps more help is coming there way. Late Monday morning, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Seahawks are going to host former Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins center Connor Williams on Tuesday, as he is currently a free agent.
Tuesday, July 23rd is the official start of training camp in Seattle.
Former Dolphins and Cowboys free-agent center Connor Williams, who has started 77 NFL games, is scheduled to visit Tuesday with the Seahawks.

Williams was originally a second round pick by the Dallas Cowboys during the 2018 NFL draft. He spent the first four years of his career in Big D, before signing a two-year contract with the Miami Dolphins. In Miami, Williams switched from being a left guard to center, where he was the starter for both seasons with the Dolphins.
Now, Williams, age 27, heads to the Pacific Northwest to see if the Emerald City is his next NFL home. Williams unfortuantely tore his ACL in Week 14 last season and ended the year on injured reserve. His injury has undoutebly impacted negotiations with the Dolphins, and with a return seemingly unlikely, he is seeking a potential fresh start elsewhere.
In June, Schefter reported Williams expects to be ready for the start of the season, despite such a devastating injury. Should the Seahawks come to terms with Williams, he will be thrust into one of the more intriguing position battles on the team.
As it stands, the starting center position seems up for grabs between second year pro Olu Oluwatimi and former Cleveland Browns lineman Nick Harris. With Williams in the mix, who has started 77 out of 83 total NFL games, it will give Seattle unprecedented depth at one of the most critical positions along the offensive line.
