RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks center Connor Williams has unexpectedly decided to retire at 27 years old, walking away from the team with eight games left this season.
Coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that the seven-year veteran made the decision earlier this week for "personal reasons." The only other detail he provided on Williams' reasoning was that it was not because of any issues with his surgically repaired knee. Macdonald is under the impression the decision is final, saying he doesn't think there's a chance Williams changes his mind.
"I don't believe so," Macdonald said. "We're honoring his wishes, and we'll keep all those reasons and conversations private for obvious reasons and wish him the best."
