Wide receiver Mike Williams' brief tenure with the Buffalo Bills may be coming to a close.

Williams' agent, Hadley Engelhard, has been given permission to gauge interest from other teams regarding a possible trade out of Buffalo, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport.

Bills general manager Doug Whaley confirmed that a trade request had been made, but denies that the team is actively shopping Williams.

Williams has been a disappointment during his first season in Buffalo, recording eight receptions for 142 yards and a touchdown in five games. He was also a healthy scratch before the Bills' Week 6 loss to the New England Patriots.
