Leonard Williams and the Seattle Seahawks have had “conversations” about a new contract.
But it sounds like those talks can, and will, wait.
“There’s been a few conversations,” Williams, the 31-year-old Pro Bowl veteran defensive lineman said Tuesday in his 12th NFL training camp.
“But nothing set in stone.”
Williams and his wife Hailey married in April 2025.
