The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Saturday that they’ve released veteran cornerback Greedy Williams. The team also made several other moves, including waiving corner Zech McPhearson and wideout Tyrie Cleveland.

Williams signed a one-year, $1.35 million contract with $600K in guarantees with the Eagles back in March. He was expected to take one of the backup corner spots, but a lukewarm performance during the training camp and in the preseason cost him a roster spot.

Williams spent the first four years of his NFL career with the Cleveland Browns, who selected him in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of LSU. The 25-year-old player has 99 tackles, 12 passes defended, and two interceptions as a pro. He missed the entire 2020 season due to a shoulder injury.

With Williams and McPhearson off the roster, the Eagles will likely turn to Josh Jobe for meaningful snaps at the cornerback position. Jobe signed with Philly as an undrafted free agent last season and played in 11 games. He had enjoyed an impressive training camp so far and likely positioned himself for a more meaningful role.

The 2020’s fourth-round pick Josiah Scott and last year’s practice squad player Mario Goodrich are also expected to receive consideration for the 53-man roster.

Cleveland Browns rookie cornerback Greedy Williams is yet to play a single NFL snap, but that didn’t stop him from having big ambitions. Williams, who was drafted in the second round out of LSU, wants nothing less than Hall of Fame recognition when his career is said and done.

“It was great,” – said Williams when reporters asked him about offseason workouts. “I’m just ready to get this season going and try to work towards being a Hall of Famer because that’s one of my long-term goals is to be a Hall of Famer.”

Williams explained that he had his mind set on Hall of Fame ever since his first college game in 2017.

“I remember my first game, caught an interception, and I said, when I get to the NFL level, I want to be a Hall of Famer,” – he added. “My job isn’t finished until I have a gold jacket.”

After being a redshirt his first year at LSU, Greedy Williams went on to play 24 games of college football in 2017 and 2018. During that time, he had 77 tackles, eight interceptions, and 19 pass deflection.

Although Williams was projected as a possible first-round pick, he slid down to the middle of the second round which allowed Browns to trade up three spots and select him 46th overall.
