Would you trade Engram straight up for Mike Williams.
Williams is on the 5th year option at about ~15M for the chargers who probably don't want to pay him that but don't want to weaken the weapons for Herbert. 6M for Engram would probably be much preferred, plus he is a pro bowler after all.
So Engram and money for Williams???
I don't see Henry effecting this either way, but if they let him walk it makes even more sense for the Chargers.
I rather just trade him for a draft pick and take the cap space.
WTF is wrong with you??
The only reason I would not make that trade is that I am a vegetarian. Wait, you know what, I'd make the trade and just throw the sandwich away.
I hope your under the age of 16. If not, your a mental defect.
There is absolutely no way that the Chargers trade Williams, so that is not an option. No team is going to acquire one-year of an injury-prone wide receiver at $15 million. Even if they did, the best the Chargers would get would be a fifth-round pick, which isn’t even worth it at that point.
Yes, he is injury prone and overpaid, but I would rather the team overpay for Williams who can still offer something for Justin Herbert when he is healthy rather than cut him and spend that money on mediocre depth pieces or not even spend it at all.
After the great showing from Tyron Johnson on Thursday night football and the fact that Williams has not been able to stay healthy, it has become a legitimate question of whether or not the LA Chargers should cut him next season.
Career stats compared over 4yrs
Engram listed first then Williams
Games = 50 - 56
Target = 356 - 264
Rec = 216 - 151
Yards = 2420 - 2516
Y/R = 11.2 - 16.7
TD = 13 - 17
Very similar stats and Engram is half the cost and will be easier to sign long term. Pair him with Henry and that becomes really difficult on a defense. They already have Keenan Allen, Akeler and Tyron Johnson add a WR in the draft (1st or 2nd round)...and wow that would be a pretty powerful offense once they fix the offensive line.
I'd say yes,a.s.a.p. to this trade if it is offered.
