EL SEGUNDO, Calif.— Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams has decided to retire from the NFL at age 30.

His agent, Tory Dandy, told general manager Joe Ortiz on Wednesday night, hours before the first full day of training camp.

Williams signed a $6 million, one-year deal in mid-March to return to the Chargers for his second stint with the team. On Monday, he was placed on the physically unable to perform list and two days later called it quits on his football career.

He played eight seasons in the NFL, including stints with both the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024.

With the Steelers last season, he had nine catches for 132 yards and one touchdown in nine games.
