The Chargers moved on from Tyrell Williams for a variety of reasons, but the parting of ways was mostly due to the contract he was going to seek in free agency. Tom Telesco could possibly have squeezed in a deal that fit the team this year, but he had the next few years in mind, which made it impossible to bring him back.
The Chargers were set to try out a number of receivers at the third and fourth wide receiver position, though Travis Benjamin was projected to take on most of those snaps behind Keenan Allen and Mike Williams.
