Ian Williams had a five-year deal done, but ankle surgeries resulted in it being turned into a one-year deal. With all the bonuses and incentives, it is definitely a prove-it year for the nose tackle.
One of the unexpected questions that arose this offseason is the status of defensive tackle Ian Williams. On March 9, reports emerged that he had agreed to terms on a five-year contract extension. We didn't hear an official confirmation, and then 12 days later, a report emerged suggesting ankle concerns had resulted in a new one-year contract.
It turns out Williams had multiple surgeries on his ankle.
