The Falcons have agreed to a one-year deal with Williams, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Williams is set to make $2 million for the 2026 season as he heads to Atlanta on a one-year deal. The 27-year-old ended 2025 with 14 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, in 14 regular-season games with the Bears. The five-year pro will likely act as a rotational defensive lineman for the Falcons.

Bears' Chris Williams: Staying in Chicago
The Bears re-signed Williams on Monday.
Chicago tendered Williams in early March, and the 26-year-old will be back for a second year with the organization for the 2025 season. Williams worked in a rotational role last season, posting 23 tackles (17 solo), including 3.0 sacks, over 17 games after not logging any time in the NFL in 2023. He'll likely have a similar role in 2025, though it's worth noting that Williams logged at least 46 percent of Chicago's defensive snaps in each of the team's final five games, so he could see the field relatively often if he performs well.
