Chargers Daily Links: Raiders released WR Tyrell Williams

On Wednesday, the Raiders released former Chargers wide receiver Tyrell Williams just two years into a four-year, $44.3 million deal that he signed prior to the 2019 season.

In his first year with the team, he caught 42 passes for 651 yards and six touchdowns in 12 starts. This past year, Williams missed the entire season after suffering a labrum tear.

Williams’ best season in the NFL came during the 2016 season when he caught 69 passes for 1,059 yards and seven touchdowns. That was the same year Keenan Allen tore his ACL in the opener which allowed Williams to breakout and show that he could handle a substantial workload as a WR1. In his final two seasons with the Chargers, he caught a combined 84 passes for 1,381 yards and nine touchdowns.
