Williams agreed to terms Wednesday on a one-year contract with the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Williams flourished in an offensive system that Bears head coach Matt Nagy helped to define back during his time as coordinator for the Chiefs, and he worked with Bears offensive coordinator Bill Lazor back in Miami. As a result, Williams should be an ideal fit in Chicago's scheme. It's worth noting, however, that neither Williams nor Nagy actually held tenure in Kansas City simultaneously. After the Super Bowl LIV star opted out of the 2020 campaign due to concerns relating to COVID-19 before being released earlier this month, he'll now move on to the third stop of his NFL career. Williams will likely mix in as a change-of-pace or backup option along with Tarik Cohen (knee), who's returning from a torn ACL. The presence of two backups skilled enough to warrant their own consistent touches could result in a decline in lead option David Montgomery's workload in 2021.
