Could Rams Pursue Ex Chargers Recevier Mike Williams?

After his release on Wednesday, the Los Angeles Rams could look to keep receiver Mike Williams in the City of Angels.

The Los Angeles Rams are lucky to have two bonafide stars at receiver in Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, but even with those two standouts, they're looking for more at the position.

Even after bringing back Demarcus Robinson, the Rams have shown a desire to add another receiver this offseason. They were reportedly interested in Mike Evans before he re-signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, and they also met with top receiver prospect Rome Odunze at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Now, another big name is available on the receiver market. Just hours before the start of the new league year on Wednesday, the Los Angeles Chargers released star receiver Mike Williams. They likely didn't want to make such a move, but with them being in a cap crunch and gaining around $20 million in cap space by releasing Williams, they had no other choice.

If Williams is open to staying in Los Angeles, then the Rams could be a potential suitor for the two-time 1,000-yard receiver.

For starters, Williams is a huge receiver at 6-4 and 218 pounds. He's someone that a quarterback can trust to go up and get the ball in one-on-one situations, which is obviously a tremendous asset for any offense. He actually plays a similar style to Evans and Odunze, whom the Rams both showed interest in, as mentioned earlier.

Williams would be a natural fit on the outside of the Rams' offense, allowing Kupp and/or Nacua to get more snaps in the slot.

One big concern with Williams is his injury history, especially considering that he missed all but three games last season due to a torn ACL. On the plus side, though, that injury could allow the Rams to get him on the cheap. Plus, not having to move is a great perk that only the Rams could truly offer Williams.

Should Rams Sign Commanders Free Agent Kendall Fuller?

If both sides have interest, Williams and the Rams could make for a very interesting pairing.
