Los Angeles Chargers' Mike Williams about to cash in after career-best performance in 2021

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams made himself some extra money this season and gained a whole bunch of friends he didn't necessarily know he had, namely NFL scouts from receiver-hungry teams.

Williams, the Chargers' first-round pick in 2017, is 6-foot-4, 220 pounds and, oh yeah, caught 76 passes for 1,146 yards last season, registering career bests in both categories. He's now a free agent and an extremely sought-after one at that?

Williams made a base salary of $15.68 million last season after the Chargers picked up his fifth-year option.
