When veteran wide receiver Mike Williams signed a one-year deal with the New York Jets in free agency in March, the move was expected to give a sizable boost to the new-look Jets offense led by a now-healthy Aaron Rodgers under center.
Turns out, that didn’t exactly happen. Williams saw just 21 targets with the Jets and played only 53% of their snaps offensively. Those numbers dwindled after the Jets swung a big trade for Davante Adams ahead of Week 7 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. That seemingly put Williams on the trade block, especially after some critical comments from Rodgers to the media after the Week 6 Monday Night Football loss to the Buffalo Bills in which Williams seemingly ran the wrong route on Rodgers’ game-sealing interception.
