The New York Jets just added a new weapon to their arsenal: former Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver, Mike Williams. This one-year deal, reportedly worth up to $15 million, marks an exciting chapter for the Jets' offense.
After spending seven years with the Chargers, Williams hit free agency, and the Jets pounced on the opportunity to sign him. Despite interest from other teams like the Carolina Panthers and Pittsburgh Steelers, Williams ultimately chose the Jets during his visit on Tuesday.
Williams brings serious talent to the field, boasting two 1,000-yard seasons in his career, with his most recent achievement being in 2021. Despite a setback last season due to a torn ACL in Week 3, Williams is eager to make a big impact with his new team.
Teaming up with Garrett Wilson, Williams aims to recreate the dynamic duo he formed with Keenan Allen in Los Angeles. The Jets have been busy in free agency, also adding tackles Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses, along with guard John Simpson, to strengthen their offensive line. Additionally, veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor joins as backup, adding depth to the team's roster.
With Williams off the market, eyes now turn to other top available wide receivers like Michael Thomas and Odell Beckham Jr., as the offseason continues to unfold with exciting moves across the league.
