An interesting NFC team is reportedly worth monitoring in the Mike Williams free agency sweepstakes.
On Wednesday afternoon, just before the start of the new league year at 4:00 p.m. EST, the Los Angeles Chargers released the veteran wideout in cap-saving move. As noted by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the release of Williams cleared $20 million in cap space for the Bolts.
Williams, fellow wide receiver Keenan Allen and star pass-rushers Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa were all mentioned as possible cut or trade candidates heading into Wednesday. Of that four, Williams is the only one who’s been let go by the Chargers.
The Bears are widely expected to use the first overall pick in next month’s draft (via the Carolina Panthers) on USC quarterback Caleb Williams. The Bears already have a nice set of playmakers in superstar wideout D.J. Moore and RBs Khalil Herbert and D’Andre Swift (signed in free agency), but they could use another pass-catcher to bolster the passing game.
So Williams makes sense as a target for the Bears. The deep threat specialist and contested catch artist has two 1,000-yard seasons under his belt, including a career-high 1,146 yards in the 2021 season.
