Seattle Seahawks starting center Connor Williams has retired from the NFL due to personal reasons, head coach Mike Macdonald revealed Friday. 'So Connor early this week decided to retire. Personal reasons, and we respect that,' Macdonald told reporters. 'Wish him the best, and we've got to move forward.' Asked if he expects Williams to change his mind, Macdonald expressed doubts.'I don't believe so,' Macdonald said. 'We will honor his wishes and keep all those reasons and conversations private for obvious reasons.' The 27-year-old Williams will be replaced in the starting lineup by second-year player Olu Oluwatimi. Seattle heads to Santa Clara this weekend for Sunday's game against the rival San Francisco 49ers.

Weird. He was put on this earth to play football. He'll be back at a minimum salary. I wouldn't't hire him.

Not really weird. He was always known as an underachiever and played soft, going back to his days at Texas.
He’s also has two ACL tears which i’m sure had a lot to do with it.

Guess you know more than me. To quit at mid season playing an important position. One year contract. He could finish the year and then deal with his personal issues. Perhaps they’re too much to overcome but he’s 27 y/o, prime of his career. $4 million/yr, only half of which will be earned.
