Next year - the Mike Williams cap hit will increase (as will the cap) and the Keenan Allen cap hit - well he will renegotiate a lower salary or possibly be released - so possibly the same 35m cap hit
By signing Mike Williams to a three year deal - unless everybody is way off base - this actually helps the Chargers more than the franchise tag would have.

The team still needs to address all their weaknesses in FA and the Draft. But they no longer have to waste one of those options on a WR.

My guess -- the cap hit for Mike Williams will be closer to $15m than $20. So between the three WRs -if you include Palmer, that makes the cap hits around $35m total
