The Ravens released Williams on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams opened up the 2024 campaign as one of Baltimore's starting safeties alongside Kyle Hamilton but ended up losing his spot to Ar'Darius Washington towards the end of the season. Williams will now look to catch on with a new team after having recorded 149 tackles (105 solo) and five interceptions across 32 games during his three-year tenure with the Ravens.

Williams played in 11 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 33 tackles (26 solo), two pass defenses and one fumble recovery.
EDGE Analysis
Williams began the regular season as the Ravens' starting safety alongside Kyle Hamilton. However, he lost his starting spot to Ar'Darius Washington, and after playing just one defensive snap between Week 11 and 12, Williams was a healthy scratch for the final five games of the regular season and for Baltimore's two playoff games. Williams signed a five-year, $70 million contract with the Ravens in March of 2022, but given his fallout over the course of the regular season, it's hard to imagine him being in Baltimore for the 2025 campaign.

Williams picked up seven solo tackles (five solo) and one interception in the Ravens' 33-19 win over the 49ers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams' interception was his first of the season. His seven tackles also tied his season-high. The safety was on the field for all 68 defensive snaps, which makes it four out of five weeks without missing a snap. He will look to carry his momentum from Monday's win into the Ravens' Week 16 showdown with the Dolphins.
