Williams, who interviewed with Chicago twice regarding their defensive coordinator position, appeared to be the team’s top target and now lands with the Bears and recently-hired head coach Matt Eberflus.

Additionally, Williams has spent the last four seasons with the Colts and has played a crucial role in the development of both Julian Blackmon and Khari Willis.
