RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks center Connor Williams has unexpectedly decided to retire at 27 years old, walking away from the team with eight games remaining.
Coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that the seventh-year veteran made the decision earlier this week due to "personal reasons." The only other detail he provided on Williams' reasoning was that it's not due to any issues with his surgically-repaired knee. Macdonald is under the impression that the decision is final, saying he doesn't think there's a chance Williams changes his mind.
"I don't believe so," Macdonald said.
