The New York Jets entered the offseason with a major need at the wide receiver position.
Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic believes the “perfect complement” to Garrett Wilson would be free agent wideout Mike Williams.
Williams is scheduled to visit the team on Monday, March 18. Adam Schefter of ESPN said he should be “arriving” during the evening. Williams also has visits set up with two other teams for later in the week.
Williams Has a List of Teams Waiting to Talk With Him
The Los Angeles Chargers recently released the former Clemson product. Williams was in the midst of a three-year deal for $60 million.
However, he was coming off of a torn ACL he suffered in Week 3 of the 2023 season.
Rosenblatt spoke with Brad Spielberger of Pro Football Focus and he projects Williams to sign a one-year deal for $8 million on the open market with incentives attached to make more money.
“That feels like a contract the Jets would be open to,” Rosenblatt explained in an article posted on Monday, March 18.
Before the news broke that Williams was visiting the Jets, cornerback Sauce Gardner hinted at it on social media.
“I see everybody has been tagging me about recruiting players. I was on a non-paid leave over the last couple weeks. I am back in the office and have a WR visiting the facility next week. -LeSauce.”
This is a developing story and we’ll provide new details as they become available.
