I’m excited to be on a winning team. I was on the Giants for 5 years & I built some relationships there. Saying goodbye to people you’ve built relationships with is always going to be hard, even if you’re excited about your future.

His comments revealed his unhappiness with the Giants and desire to leave. Williams, known for his potential and talent, used to shine with the Giants, even leading their team. However, the poor start to the NFL 2023-24 season, with only two wins in eight games and a 2-6 record, indicates underlying team issues that need addressing.

As things stand presently, it seems that the Giants have given up their hope for this season. Their playoff dreams are over and with this trade, it is evident that they are thinking for the next season.

All good for the Seattle Seahawks 

After a losing start to their NFL campaign, the Seattle Seahawks have got back to their winning rhythm. It was looking shaky after the first two matches as they lost consecutive two games. Nonetheless, things got back in rhythm as the team won five out of their next six games. Presently, they are up by 5-3 and will be heading towards the encounter against the Baltimore Ravens in the coming matchday.

Ahead of the clash, the Seahawks were in search of someone who would strengthen their defensive abilities and Williams was a perfect match for them. He registered 21 combined tackles for the Jets. Eight were assisted tackles and the rest were SOLOs. The team has high hopes for him. It is to be seen whether his career gets marked by success in the Seahawks.
