"” Still, it feels like the Lions would be best served to add another veteran to that room, and there are still some options available out there in free agency, including Marcus Williams (who has plenty of familiarity with Detroit’s defense from his Saints days), Justin Simmons, and Quandre Diggs (who is admittedly coming off a Lisfranc injury)."

2024
"com/QAVrzjrXGj— Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) October 8, 2023 DB Marcus Williams Photo by Kara Durrette/Getty Images The seven-year veteran overcame a couple of injuries including a pectoral issue that caused him to miss six games and impacted his ability to fully wrap up on tackle attempts and make plays on the ball."

2023
"93 million) C Tyler Linderbaum ($3 million) S Marcus Williams ($7."

2022
"Ravens make a big splash, signing Saints safety Marcus Williams to five-year, $70M deal, per report"

2021
"Marcus Williams wrote simply: New Orleans, Louisiana."

2020
"Williams is listed as Marcus Williams’ backup at free safety on the team’s depth chart."

2019
"Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Safety Marcus Williams committed a poor tackling play at the end of a Saints loss."

2018
"Marcus Williams, who whiffed on Stefon Diggs' walk-off TD, explains what happened"

2017
"Buoyed by their stellar rookie draft class — running back Alvin Kamara, cornerback Marshon Lattimore, offensive tackle Ryan Ramcyzek, safety Marcus Williams — the Saints underwent as much of a transformation as any team in the league this season and prospered wildly beyond expectations because of it."

2016
"The surprising emergence of Marcus Williams, who had six interceptions in limited action this past season, further diminished the need for Cromartie moving forward."

2015
"Unlike in 2014, though, Tom Brady won't be picking on the likes of Marcus Williams and Darrin Walls."

2014
"Citing an honorable mention list would mean leaving some fascinating and productive players off, but I will single out Saints safety Pierre Warren, Jets cornerback Marcus Williams, Panthers receiver/returner Philly Brown, Chiefs kicker Cairo Santos, Cardinals kicker Chandler Catanzaro and Bears linebacker Christian Jones as undrafted rookies who did far more than anyone could expect from them this season."
