Mike Williams is running a comeback route.
The former Chargers receiver will return to L.A. one year after the team released him, signing a one-year deal worth up to $6 million, according to FOX Sports.
Williams, 30, signed with the New York Jets last season after the Chargers released him to save $20 million on the salary cap. But the season was tumultuous as he was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He started just five games between the two teams and caught 21 passes for 298 yards, his quietest season not shortened by injury since his rookie campaign.
The 2017 first-round draft pick caught 309 passes for 4,806 yards in seven years with the Chargers. He missed all but three games in 2023 after a season-ending knee injury.
The Chargers have been looking for help on offense but struck out with other top receiver free agents. Pass-catching tight end Evan Engram signed with the Denver Broncos on Wednesday.
