The New York Jets will attempt to trade veteran wide receiver Mike Williams after acquiring Davante Adams from the Raiders according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.com.

Certainly there’s no reason for Williams to want to stick with the Jets after the Adams trade-especially after Aaron Rodgers threw him under the bus and blamed him for the interception that sealed the team's loss on MNF-and it appears the Jets recognize this as well.  The Jets already have rising star Garrett Wilson. They also have quarterback AAron Rodgers’s BFF No. 2 in Allen Lazard. And they’ve traded for Rodgers’s BFF No. 1, in Adams.

Williams, the seventh pick in the 2017 draft, spent seven seasons with the Chargers. He tore an ACL in Week 3 of 2023, and he was cut by the Chargers earlier this year.

He is on a one-year, $10 million deal with a ton of void years. Williams would be an interesting fit on a number of teams, but the type of teams he’d help the most (the Bills and Chiefs immediately come to mind) are not teams that the Jets would want to help.

Williams has been targeted 17 times in six weeks and has just 145 scoreless yards on the season.
