The Pittsburgh Steelers acquired New York Jets wide receiver Mike Williams two hours before the trade deadline Tuesday. In the deal, the Steelers sent a 2025 fifth-round pick to the Jets for Williams, and they’ll assume the remainder of his 2024 contract before he becomes a free agent next season. Fans had been waiting for months for GM Omar Khan to acquire another receiver opposite Pickens, and he finally fulfilled their wishes right before the clock expired. Williams is 30 and coming off an ACL tear in 2023, but he should slot in as the Steelers’ No.
