Jets start shopping for Mike Williams

Another Jets receiver will be the odd man out in Davante Adams.

And the odd man out will, unsurprisingly, be Mike Williams.

According to a league source, the Jets will look to trade the veteran wideout signed this offseason to a one-year deal.

Williams, the seventh pick in the 2017 draft, spent seven seasons with the Chargers. He tore an ACL in Week 3 of 2023 and was cut by the Chargers earlier this year.

The Jets already have rising star Garrett Wilson. They also have quarterback AAron Rodgers’ BFF No. 2 in Allen Lazard. And they traded for Rodgers’ BFF No. 1 in Davante Adams.

Williams and Rodgers have yet to click. Through six games, he has 17 targets, 10 catches and 145 yards.

He had a drop last night, which won’t help him earn Rodgers’ trust. Then Williams broke off his pass route on the play that became the game-defining interception. And Rodgers called him out for it.

So no, don’t be shocked that Williams is the odd one out. If he stays, he’ll be a WR4 at best. That’s far too low to justify his $10 million annual salary.

Who will want him? That remains to be seen. It also remains to be seen how much the Jets can get for him.
