Veteran wide receiver Mike Williams didn’t need to wait long to find his new home in the NFL as the New York Jets signed him to a one-year deal reportedly worth up to $15 million.
Aaron Rodgers has another deep-ball threat to work with on the New York Jets next season as Mike Williams heads to the team on a one-year deal, the team announced on Tuesday.
Williams was on hand in Florham Park, New Jersey, to sign a deal that has a reported value of up to $15 million, per ESPN.
The 29-year-old receiver was released last week by the Los Angeles Chargers, saving them millions in cap space to get under the threshold for the 2024 season. The Jets were looking for an upgrade at the receiver position, and GM Joe Douglas didn’t let Williams leave the Garden State without signing a deal.
Williams was reportedly set to visit the Carolina Panthers and Pittsburgh Steelers after meeting with the Jets, but New York had its own priorities.
Williams will team up with Jets star wideout Garrett Wilson, who has accumulated more than 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons with the team. Injuries have become a problem for Williams in recent seasons, especially his torn ACL in Week 3 last season.
