ALAMEDA, Calif. _ The Raiders' pursuit of help for quarterback Derek Carr didn't stop with Trent Brown and Antonio Brown.
Wide receiver Tyrell Williams, one of the top wide receivers in free agency, has agreed to terms with the Raiders, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The deal is "close to being done," according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, who said the two sides are still negotiating but the Raiders expect to get it done.
Williams, 27, would become the fourth major piece added to the Raiders and the third on offense, with the club trading for wide receiver Antonio Brown, agreeing to terms with tackle Trent Brown, and also reportedly bringing aboard safety LaMarcus Joyner.
At 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, Williams has both jump-and-catch ability as well as the speed to get deep. He caught 41 passes for 653 yards and five touchdowns for the Los Angeles Chargers last season and in four seasons has 155 receptions for 2,530 yards and 17 touchdowns, averaging 16.3 yards per catch.
Williams' would join Antonio Brown and Jordy Nelson in giving Carr three experienced targets.
