Connor Williams, center for the Seattle Seahawks, has announced his retirement due to personal reasons, as confirmed by coach Mike Macdonald. Williams, who recently signed a one-year contract, had started every game this season but did not participate in practice this week.

Despite his retirement, the Seahawks are prepared to move forward with Olu Oluwatimi stepping in as his replacement. Macdonald expressed confidence in Oluwatimi's readiness and hard work throughout the offseason.
