  • Falcons' Chris Williams: Signs with Atlanta

    The Falcons have agreed to a one-year deal with Williams, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Williams is set to make $2 million for the 2026 season as he heads to Atlanta on a one-year deal. The 27-year-old ended 2025 with 14 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, in 14 regular-season games with the Bears. The five-year pro will likely act as a rotational defensive lineman for the Falcons.

  • Bears' Chris Williams: Staying in Chicago

    The Bears re-signed Williams on Monday.

    Chicago tendered Williams in early March, and the 26-year-old will be back for a second year with the organization for the 2025 season. Williams worked in a rotational role last season, posting 23 tackles (17 solo), including 3.0 sacks, over 17 games after not logging any time in the NFL in 2023. He'll likely have a similar role in 2025, though it's worth noting that Williams logged at least 46 percent of Chicago's defensive snaps in each of the team's final five games, so he could see the field relatively often if he performs well.

  • Bears' Chris Williams: Tendered by Chicago

    Williams backed up Gervon Dexter at defensive tackle and played 35 percent of the snaps in 2024. After playing minimal snaps during his first two seasons with the Colts, Williams ended the campaign with 23 tackles (17 solo), including 3.0 sacks. He'll be a restricted free agent this offseason.

  • Bears' Chris Williams: Traded to Chicago

    Williams was traded to the Bears from the Browns on Saturday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.

    Chicago flipped a sixth-round pick to Cleveland for Williams and a seventh rounder, per Mayer. The defensive tackle will try to stick with the Bears through cutdown day Tuesday. Williams entered the league as an undrafted free agent with the Colts in 2020 and appeared in 13 games between 2021 and '22.

  • Chris Williams: Lands on waiver wire

    Williams was let go by the Colts on Thursday.

    Williams played in five games for Indianapolis last season, recording two tackles (one solo). The 24-year-old was let go Thursday along with Kameron Cline, Nikola Kalinic, Forrest Rhyne and Jalen Wydermyer, with the moves freeing up roster space for the the team's incoming group of rookies.
