San Francisco 49ers Predicted to Sign Former Dolphins Center
Former Miami Dolphins center Connor Williams suffered an ACL injury against the Tennessee Titans in Week 14. If it weren’t for the injury, Williams would’ve likely already found a new home and could’ve been a player the Dolphins re-signed. Instead, he’s on the market and could be for much of the offseason. Of the potential landing spots, Dallas Robinson of Pro Football Network predicts Williams will land with the San Francisco 49ers.
“The 49ers ranked 20th in pass-block win rate and 23rd in run-block win rate last year but have opted for OL continuity thus far this offseason. San Francisco re-signed right guard Jon Feliciano and gave right tackle Colton McKivitz an extension through 2025
“Williams doesn’t have a timetable for finding a new team after suffering a “pretty significant” ACL tear in December, his agent Drew Rosenhaus told WSVN this week. Depending on how his recovery progresses this summer, the 26-year-old could become an upside play for the 49ers.”
Williams Could Wait to Sign
For the San Francisco 49ers, Williams would be an ideal addition as he’d be cheap and could help them when healthy. The 49ers added offensive line help during the early stages of the offseason, but that doesn’t mean adding more on cheaper deals isn’t in the future for them.
At the very least, Williams could be someone they add closer to the season or in the season when he’s healthy. As the Miami Dolphins saw last season, injuries can change a season. Injuries also changed how the 2022-23 season went for the 49ers, so they understand better than anyone that their season can change in a second.
