Darrel Williams will test free agency after failing to reach agreement with Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs attempted to lock up one of their own ahead of the NFL’s legal tampering period but failed to do so.

As first reported by NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Chiefs attempted to sign RB Darrel Williams before the legal tampering window opens at noon. The two sides have failed to strike up a deal and as a result, Williams will head to free agency and test his market. KC Star beat writer Herbie Teope confirmed this report.

The 26-year-old Williams is coming off of a breakout season where he exceeded 1,000 scrimmage yards and scored eight touchdowns in Kansas City. The former undrafted free agent out of LSU was one of just three players for the Chiefs last year to finish the season with over 1,000 scrimmage yards along with Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill.
