Williams has been more impactful the past couple years compared to Gio.
Gio hasn't had 500+ yards from scrimmage in a season since 2017.
Williams has had 6 INTs, 12 PDs, and 224 tackles the past two years.
Their cap hit is about the same too, so it's not like Williams is making a lot more than Gio.
I'd much rather get rid of a backup RB before someone who has started at SS for the past 4 years.
Do you still see Williams as a starter over Von Bell? I don't. And Gio hasn't produced because of a lack of opportunity. Not much he can do offensively when he is being asked to simply pick up blitzes. I see that changing with more empty back sets.
Williams has declined and is in his last year of his contract. Best to have a replacement for him AND Fej before you need them...get them some experience.
