Raiders Sign Tyrell Williams
6 years agoThe Oakland Raiders signed free-agent wide receiver Tyrell Williams to a four-year deal worth $44 million on Wednesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The deal also includes $22 million in guarantees. He'll provide good speed opposite new receiver Antonio Brown as the Raiders significantly upgrade their receiver corps. Williams boasts 16.3 yards per catch in his career and had one 1,000-yard season (2016) with the Chargers. Jordy Nelson should see most of the slot duties. Williams' ability to stretch the field will be key, but it's fair to wonder if quarterback Derek Carr will hook up with him often. Still, Williams has a higher fantasy ceiling in his new digs.
