The Pittsburgh Steelers finally got a deal across the table to upgrade their wide receiver corps on Tuesday. They traded a fifth-round pick to the New York Jets for WR Mike Williams. The Steelers had targeted him in the offseason, but he opted to sign with the Jets.
That move did not exactly play out well for Williams or the Jets. He struggled at times coming back from his ACL injury suffered in 2023. He also struggled to stay on the good side of his quarterback, Aaron Rodgers.
Usually, when we examine trades, we consider how the incoming player can affect the team.
