Marcus Williams News
The Baltimore Ravens agreed on a five-year, $70 million deal with free-agent safety Marcus Williams on Tuesday, according to a source. Williams had a career-high 74 tackles (52 solo), two interceptions, eight passes defensed and a forced fumble in 16 regular season games for the New Orleans Saints in 2021 while playing on the franchise tag. He'll be replacing DeShon Elliott as Baltimore's starting free safety in 2022 and beyond. The 25-year-old was a second-round pick of the Saints back in 2017 out of Utah, and he's started at least 14 games in each of his first five NFL seasons. Williams has quietly been one of the more productive safeties in the NFL and will be a huge boost to a Ravens secondary that was decimated by injuries last year.
New Orleans Saints impending free-agent safety Marcus Williams doesn't expect the team to use the franchise tag on him, according to a source. The Saints would prefer to get a long-term deal done with Williams after he played on the franchise tag last year. The 25-year-old played very well on the franchise tag in 2021, recording a career-high 74 tackles (52 solo), two interceptions, eight passes defensed and a forced fumble in 16 games. Williams wasn't much to look at in IDP leagues, but he was a key contributor for New Orleans' secondary, and they'd like to bring him back. The only problem is that the Saints have one of the worst salary cap situations in the NFL, so he might be too expensive to retain after a solid season.
New Orleans Saints free safety Marcus Williams is a candidate to receive the franchise tag for the second straight season with the Saints in rough salary cap shape in 2022. Williams played well on the tag in 2021 and is an important part of the team's secondary. Left tackle Terron Armstead is not a candidate for the tag because his contract makes him ineligible for it since he doesn't become a free agent until after the end of the 2021 league year on March 16. The 25-year-old Williams registered 74 tackles, eight passes defensed, two interceptions and one forced fumble in 16 games last year. He's not much of a fantasy name in IDP leagues, but Williams has become one of the better free safeties in the NFL.
