When receiver Mike Williams elected to return to the Chargers this offseason, he said that he had something to prove after a “terrible” 2024 with the Jets and Steelers.
But then Williams landed on the physically unable to perform list to start training camp.
Now, Williams has elected to hang up his cleats.
According to multiple reports, Williams has informed the Chargers that he is retiring.
Williams, 30, was the Chargers’ first draft selection after the club relocated to Los Angeles in 2017. He was the No. 7 overall pick of that year’s draft out of Clemson.
