Seattle Seahawks center Connor Williams has announced his retirement at just 27 years old, leaving the team with eight games remaining in the season. Coach Mike Macdonald confirmed this decision was made for personal reasons and is believed to be final.
Williams, who had been a key player on the offensive line, started all nine games this season and played every offensive snap. His retirement poses a significant challenge for the Seahawks, who are already struggling with injuries and performance issues on the line.
Olu Oluwatimi is set to take over as the starting center. Despite limited playing time this season, he has been preparing for this opportunity. The Seahawks will also be without key players, including tight end Noah Fant, as they face the San Francisco 49ers.
