Steelers Work Out Another Former Ravens Safety

Williams, 28, signed a five-year, $70 million contract with the Ravens in 2022. He played fairly well in his first two seasons with Baltimore, even if he did deal with injuries, but fell off a cliff in 2024. According to Pro Football Focus, he allowed 17.6 yards per reception and a perfect passer rating of 158.3 when targeted.

During a recent interview with former New Orleans Saints teammate Terron Armstead, Williams placed some of the blame for last season's struggles on the Ravens themselves.

“To be frank, it was just a lot of miscommunication from the top down,” Williams said. “I take accountability for whatever action that I did that they didn’t like. But I didn’t know what actions those were. But I take accountability for maybe missed opportunities, maybe missed plays that I could’ve done better on. But, as far as the communication from the top down, I feel like it could’ve been better.”

Even with Clark in the fold, the Steelers are quite thin at safety after trading away former All-Pro Minkah Fitzpatrick late last month. If they do bring in Williams, they're banking on him playing like he did earlier in his career, not like he did last season.
