Remember when the Los Angeles Chargers had a dynamic receiving duo? It wasn't very long ago, when the team employed Keenan Allen and Mike Williams. Allen was traded to the Chicago Bears and Williams was released due to cap constraints last offseason.

Mike Williams is hanging his cleats up for good. The Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver informed the team of his plans to retire from the NFL on Wednesday night, a person close to the situation told USA TODAY Sports' Tyler Dragon.

Mike Williams' return to Los Angeles won't happen after all. The veteran wide receiver informed the Chargers that he plans to retire after eight seasons, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Thursday.
