Former Miami Dolphins center Connor Williams will be ready to play when the NFL regular season starts next month, and there's now a clear sign of his team.

In a Monday morning interview on the Joe Rose Radio Show, agent Drew Rosenhaus said he was currently negotiating with the Seattle Seahawks on a free-agent contract. He anticipated reaching a deal for Williams within 48-72 hours.

"He's healthy. He's going to be able to play in the first game," Rosenhaus said. "It is the most amazing recovery I have ever seen in my career."

Williams tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) late last season against the Tennessee Titans. With his health issues settled the only issue that remains between him and the Seahawks will come down to money.

According to overthecap.com, the Seahawks have roughly $10 million in cap room remaining. A multi-year deal with Williams that will provide him with more guaranteed money in future years can be worked out.

The Dolphins moved on from Williams in the offseason when they signed center Aaron Brewer from the Tennessee Titans.

ROSENHAUS BREAKS DOWN THE TYREEK TALKS

Rosenhaus also highly praised the Dolphins' front office for their recent negotiations with his client, Tyreek Hill. He said the Dolphins wanted to complete the extension for Tua Tagovailoa first, then deal with restructuring Hill's contract.

"They wanted to make sure they got Tua done so they could structure a win-win for Tyreek," Rosenhaus said. "The Dolphins really hit the trifecta by signing Tyreek, [Jaylen] Waddle, and Tua. They are guaranteed to have the fastest offense in NFL history."

He said there was never any threat that Hill would hold out. Rosenhaus also said Hill is working so hard this preseason that the team had to tell him to take a day off.

"Tyreek will go down with Dan Marino as one of the greatest Dolphins in team history," Rosenhaus said. "Fans down here should enjoy this. This [season] is a window for the Dolphins to have their best team since the Super Bowl years."

Rosenhaus also mentioned Tyreek Hill's "99 Club" rating in Madden NFL 25 in the negotiations.

"Tyreek is their guy. Chris Grier traded for him," Rosenhaus said. "He is also their first player with a Madden rating of 99. That really says something about him."
