Buffalo Bills Rumors: Mike Williams Asks Front Office for Trade [VIDEO]

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mike Williams has requested a trade from the team after being acquired by the team before the draft.

Bills general manager Doug Whaley said Monday that the team will not actively shop the receiver, but he and his agent are more than welcome to look for ways out of Buffalo.

"I said, 'We like Mike Williams. We expect him back and we expect big things from him,'" Whaley said. "But like anybody, if he gets us compensation worthy of a No. 1 wide receiver -- which he claimed he is -- then we would entertain it.

"He's taken it as permission, but I say it as, anybody on this team, we have to do our due diligence and if there's somebody out there that is willing to give us compensation that we think is fair, and would help us in the long run, we would entertain it. That doesn't say we're gonna do it, but we would entertain it.”

Williams would not comment on the request Monday, but his agent said that he and his client are “eager to reach out to teams.”

The Bills acquired Williams from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a 2014 sixth-round draft choice. Williams has a guaranteed salary of $1.6 million this season and his $5.2 million base salary in 2015 is also guaranteed. Williams posted a message to his Instagram account after being healthy scratch for the Bills this past Sunday.

"GameDay GOODLUCK TO MY COACHES AND TEAM MATES..... I'm not playing today but we still need this win TODAY I JUST WASNT IN THE TOP 53 this week I might make the cut next week #TeamMike....... #wastedJersey,"

The NFL trade deadline is October 28.
