Vikings sign former Rams DL Jonah Williams

The Minnesota Vikings have made a move to fortify the defensive line on Monday afternoon. The team announced they signed defensive lineman Jonah Williams to a one-year contract.

According to SKOR North’s Darren Wolfson, the deal is for one year and up to $1.5 million. That would prevent the Vikings from losing out on a potential compensatory selection since Williams is a free agent.

Williams is an undrafted free agent from Weber State who played for the Los Angeles Rams the last two seasons and is about to enter his age 29 season. He played in 41 games for the Rams and started 22 of them In those games, Williams had 77 tackles, 45 solo, 4.0 tackles for loss, eight quarterback hits and 2.5 sacks.

He will join a defensive line unit that needs improvement after a disappointing season in 2023.
