The Chargers are among three teams showing interest in trading for wide receiver Mike Williams, according to The Athletic’s Diana Russinni.
The other two teams are the Steelers and Saints.
Williams played his entire career with the Bolts before being released this past offseason to clear up cap space.
Across seven seasons with Los Angeles, Williams posted 309 receptions for 4,806 yards and 31 touchdowns. He averaged 15.5 yards per catch.
Williams, who is coming off a knee injury that he suffered last season, has 10 catches for 145 yards in six games with New York.
A reunion between Williams and the Chargers would make sense. They have one of the least efficient passing offenses in the league, and while that stems from a few different factors, they lack a top-end wideout.
Furthermore, Los Angeles doesn’t have a weapon to threaten the deep parts of the field. Even with DJ Chark coming back in the fold, Williams and Justin Herbert had great chemistry in that area of the field during their time together.
So if the price is right, Joe Hortiz would wise to make a move for Williams.
