The Los Angeles Chargers have released Mike Williams, which will save them $20 million against their cap.

Williams appeared in just three games in 2023, catching 19 balls for 249 yards and one touchdown.

The San Francisco 49ers will release Arik Armstead after the two sides were unable to agree to a restructured contract.

Armstead is coming off a season in which he played in 12 games with 27 tackles and five sacks. 

Armstead was slated to count $28.53 million against the 2024 salary cap, which is why the Niners were seeking a reworked deal to reduce that number.

Armstead tore the meniscus in his right knee, an injury he suffered in a Dec. 3 win at the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Seattle Seahawks have released Jamal Adams.

Adams, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, was set to make a nonguaranteed $16.5 million in 2024 and count $26.9 million against the salary cap -- untenable amounts for a player who has been unable to stay on the field or get to the quarterback since his stellar Seattle debut in 2020.

The Seahawks are not using a post-June 1 designation with Adams' release, a source told ESPN. That means they will save $6.1 million against the 2024 cap, according to Over The Cap, while absorbing all of his $20.83 million in dead money right away.
