Gregg Williams Named Browns DC: Latest Contract Details, Comments and Reaction

Longtime defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has agreed to join the Cleveland Browns and lead their defense, CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reported Saturday.

Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal confirmed La Canfora's report, adding that Cleveland fired former defensive coordinator Ray Horton.

The 58-year-old Williams has been a coach at the NFL level since 1990, missing just one year while working with six different franchises.

Most recently, he led a Los Angeles Rams defense that ranked 23rd in the league while allowing 32 passing touchdowns, the fourth-worst mark in the NFL.
