The retirement reveal comes as veterans report to training camp.

Williams began his career with the Chargers after being selected seventh overall in the 2017 NFL Draft. He signed a one-year, $6 million contract with the club during free agency in March.

The former Clemson star, who started the 2024 season with the Jets before being traded to the Steelers, was placed on the Chargers’ Physically Unable to Perform list ahead of training camp.
