Chargers unlikely to let WR Mike Williams hit free agency with team prepared to use franchise tag

Philadelphia Eagles could lose out on a potential free agent option at WR with news circulating that the #Chargers are prepared to use the #FranchiseTag on the veteran wideout

The Eagles are set to add a veteran wide receiver to the roster via free agency and one big-name player could be off the list.

Tyler Dragon of USA Today is reporting that the Los Angeles Chargers are prepared to use the franchise tag on Mike Williams if they can’t reach a long-term deal before the March 8 deadline.

Williams had 76 receptions for 1,146 yards and nine touchdowns in 2021 and would provide the Eagles with the red zone target that could take quarterback Jalen Hurts to the next level as a passer.
