Browns Sign Former Jets LB Williams

0:00On March 10, the Cleveland Browns move fast after losing linebacker Devon Bush to the Chicago Bears, signing former New York Jets player, Quincy, Williams to a two-year deal. Williams had a tough season last year under the Jets' new defensive scheme, but two years back in 2023, he earned all pro honors while. Playing in a system run by his then-linebacker coach, who is now the Browns defensive coordinator, Mike Rootenberg. Williams and analysts see this as a smart pick-up because Williams brings a hard-hitting style with strong blitzing skills that led to three-and-a-half. Sacks this past year, plus 1-082, stop tackles since 2023, according to pro football focus. That familiarity with Rootenberg should help Williams fit right in and even guide teammates as the Browns shift their defense next season. Overall, it's a solid move to bolster the front seven and could pay off big if he rebounds to his top form.
