Eagles DT Milton Williams said “I’d love to be back in Philadelphia,” when asked about his impending free agency.
Williams is coming off a season in which he posted a career-high five sacks while also notching seven TFLs and a forced fumble. The former third-round pick capped his strong season with an impressive performance in Super Bowl LIX, where he sacked Patrick Mahomes twice while also forcing and recovering a fumble. It was the kind of performance that should generate a lot of buzz for Williams when he hits the free agent market next month, as teams could be lining up to lure the fourth-year lineman away from the champs. Williams played a career-high 500 defensive snaps last season while also generating a career-best 40 pressures — nearly doubling his previous high of 22, which he set last season. While he would love to return to the Eagles, Williams also said he’d like a nice pay raise, which could make a return to Philly difficult.
