According to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer, the team is hosting safeties Julian Blackmon and Marcus Williams on free-agent visits today.

Blackmon, a third-round pick of the Indianapolis Cols from 2020, has played five NFL seasons. The 26-year-old has amassed 300 combined tackles, 10 interceptions, 21 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries over 66 games.

Williams, a 2017 second-round selection by the New Orleans Saints, is set to enter his ninth pro campaign in 2025. The 28-year-old has split his career between the Saints and the Baltimore Ravens—totaling 469 tackles, 20 interceptions, 56 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries.

I posted a thread about Blackmon the other day.  He's a pretty decent Safety.

Yes... I mentioned that. I guess I should have linked that here.

Looking at the two of them, to my 'inexperienced' way of thinking, it appears as if Williams is the better Safety. They're only two years different in age. Williams has played three more years (8 years to Blackmon's 5). Williams has doubled the number of INTs, more than doubled the number of passes defensed, and more than 50% more tackles.

They're both 'solid' guys though. I guess it would come down to who wants to play, and "fit".  OH.... and money.!!
