Dolphins agree to terms with G Connor Williams​

The deal: Two years, $14 million

Grade: A-

This is a really strong signing. Williams will be only 25 when the season begins, and he has already made 51 regular-season starts in multiple schemes with Dallas.

Based on that profile, ESPN ranked Williams as the No. 22 free agent at any position entering this week. The Dolphins got him for a notably lower commitment than the Jets paid to get Laken Tomlinson, the Steelers paid to get James Daniels or even the Panthers' deal for Austin Corbett.

There is a reason for that, and for the Cowboys' apparent decision to let Williams walk. He has a history of penalty problems and led the NFL with 13 holding fouls in 2021, while ranking second overall in individual penalties with 15. But many teams view penalties as a matter of technique, not an ingrained flaw, and perhaps a fresh start will help alleviate the issue. -- Seifert

I love how 1 out of 4 seasons with a high penalty rate means he has a history of penalty problems. 1 year with high penalties and 3 with low penalties would lend that the high penalty year was a fluke. Who knows tho.. I really don’t see it as a big deal.

Coaching can absolutely solve any penalty issues. I'm not concerned. He's athletic and will compete to start from day 1
