After acquiring former UW center Nick Harris during free agency, the Seahawks shipped him back to Cleveland and officially signed Connor Williams. The Browns sent the Seahawks their sixth-round pick in the 2026 draft, and Seattle, in turn, sent the Browns their seventh-round pick in the 2026 draft. Harris started Saturday’s game with the Los Angeles Chargers, though he played just 12 offensive snaps. Olu Oluwatimi had 45 snaps, 55% of the offensive snaps.
CONNOR WILLIAMS REHAB PROGRESSING
The trade of Harris to the Browns points to two things. First, Oluwatimi has a good chance to be the starting center in his second year after struggling with injuries last year. Second, William’s rehab from an ACL injury showed enough progress that the Seahawks believe he will be back on the field and in a position to challenge Oluwatimi for the starting center job.
William visited the VMac this weekend, and the deal was announced Sunday afternoon. For the Seahawks, Williams is worth the wait. Williams suffered a significant knee injury in Week 14 last season while playing for the Miami Dolphins. Connors missed the season’s last four games after being placed on injured reserve. According to Pro Football Focus, Williams had his best year last season, earning an 86.5 grade and allowing just one sack.
