The Las Vegas Raiders are apparently heading out in different directions with one of their top wideouts. On Thursday, Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network announced that the Raiders intend to deliver wide receiver Tyrell Williams toward the beginning of the new league year in March.

In 14 games played, Williams got 42 passes for 651 yards and six scores. Notwithstanding an annoying foot injury, he drove all Raiders wide beneficiaries in yards and drove the group in getting scores. Coming into 2020, Williams should be one of the heads of this new-look wide accepting corps, however he tore his labrum and had to miss the whole season.
The Western Oregon item went undrafted in 2015, yet got an opportunity with the Los Angeles Chargers and moved gradually up from training crew to starter. His best season returned 2016, when Williams got 69 passes for 1,059 yards and seven scores.
