Free agent cornerback Darious Williams agreed to a three-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams on Tuesday, according to multiple reports.

Williams was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars in a cost-cutting move earlier this month and is eligible to sign before the start of the league year on Wednesday.

He was with the Rams from 2018-21, including the Super Bowl LVI team in February 2022, and joined Jacksonville in free agency on a three-year, $30 million contract one month later.

Williams, who turns 31 on Friday, was set to make $9 million in 2024 before he was released. The move netted the Jaguars $11.5 million in salary cap space, which was needed to retain franchise-tagged pass rusher Josh Allen.

He had 53 tackles and four interceptions in 17 starts last season and has 236 tackles with 10 picks in 80 career games (55 starts).
