Mike Williams News
Thursday, July 17, 2:08 PM
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams, who was recently placed on the training-camp PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list, is retiring from the NFL after eight seasons. The 30-year-old entered the NFL as the No. 7 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Chargers following a stellar career at Clemson. He spent the first seven seasons of his pro career with L.A. before playing for the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024. Overall, Williams tallied 330 receptions for 5,104 yards and 32 touchdowns. He hangs up his cleats with two 1,000-yard seasons on his resume. Known as a big-play threat, his impact diminished later in his career as he aged and dealt with injury. While he was unlikely to be a significant factor for the Chargers this year, his departure gives Quentin Johnston more breathing room after a slow start to his NFL career.

Jameson Williams News
Saturday, August 1, 7:10 AM
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has been one of the standout performers of the early days of training camp, according to Colton Pouncy of The Athletic. Per Pouncy, Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that Williams is "going to have a big year" for Detroit. Across 17 games last season, the 25-year-old recorded 65 receptions for 1,117 yards and seven touchdowns on 102 targets. However, much of Williams' production came after Lions tight end Sam LaPorta went down with a season-ending back injury in Week 10. With LaPorta back in action for Detroit heading into 2026, Williams could get lost in the shuffle behind LaPorta, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Jahmyr Gibbs. There's no doubting Williams' explosive upside, but he will need to find more week-to-week consistency to break through the boom/bust WR3 label.
