Good work if you can get it.He did get paid an exceptionally large amount of money whilst not playing for that team due to the injury though.

Mike Williams is one of my favorite players I've been around. He is always smiling, big time energy giver. Showed up and made big plays in clutch moments throughout his time with Chargers. It'll be easy to root for him wherever he lands.

They just got Keenan AllenThe Bears have DJ Moore and Tyler Scott and that's really it, and Washington could use another body to A) get Dotson in the slot, and B) add some size they've lacked for some time.
Nevermind, that's WAY better.They just got Keenan AllenThe Bears have DJ Moore and Tyler Scott and that's really it, and Washington could use another body to A) get Dotson in the slot, and B) add some size they've lacked for some time.
Chargers might want to see if he wants to come back now.
Reportedly in Carolina, no doubt reviewing medicals.
Dang it. Was hoping he’d go to a contender.
That said, after the defensive dismantling, that’s a team that’ll be throwing a lot.
The Charlotte Observer’s Mike Kaye reports the Panthers plan to host free agent WR Mike Williams for a visit next week.
According to FOX Sports’s Sheena Quick, Williams will also be meeting with the Jets. Williams was cut by the Chargers earlier this week for cap purposes. Williams looked poised for the best year of his career at the start of the 2023 season. Through three games, the big-bodied wideout had 19 catches for 249 yards and a score. Unfortunately, near the end of his third game, Williams suffered a torn ACL, ending his season. He has struggled through minor injury issues in recent years and is set to turn 30 in October. Williams’ medicals will be a big topic of discussion with both teams.

Jets need a #2 badly too - not sure if Williams is the right fit but better than Lazard.Yep - visiting all 3 this week.Also read PanthersReported to be visiting Jets and Steelers.
Steelers seem like the most in need after shipping out Dionte.

They signed KJO today, which I thought was a sharp move. Young, healthy, solid if unspectacular receiver. Good bridge year player who won’t break the bank.Only team missing is NE.
This is what happens when you sign Allen Lazard the year before.Reported to be visiting Jets and Steelers.
Jets and Panthers make sense to me. Not so sure about Steelers - Williams seems more like Pickens than Diontae…..but maybe they don’t want to replace Diontae’s skill set.Also read PanthersReported to be visiting Jets and Steelers.

If #Jets can get a deal done with free agent WR Mike Williams, and he's healthy off the Week 3 ACL tear, think they're cooking with gas:
* Massive QB upgrade in Aaron Rodgers
* Offensive line overhaul: Added LT Tyron Smith + LG John Simpson in free agency, traded for RT Morgan Moses
* Breece Hall another year removed from ACL tear
* Garrett Wilson entering prime at age-24 season
* Defense led entire NFL in yards per play allowed last season
* Have 10th overall pick in April's draft
Just signed with the Jets for up to fifteen million for one year.
per Schefter
Any contingencies in that contract in terms of games played?
Considering Tyron Smith deal, I think "up to", in that "up to 15 million" is covering a lot of ground.Any contingencies in that contract in terms of games played?
Majority of contracts have per game active bonus so probably.Any contingencies in that contract in terms of games played?
His injuries might have hampered his play a little bit but before last season he's really not missed much time since his rookie season. Had missed 7 games total over the last 6 season.If Rogers lasted three plays with the Jets before he was out for the season, what's the over/under for Big Mike to get his season-ender?
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Jets have agreed to terms with WR Mike Williams, formerly of the Chargers, to a one-year deal worth up to $15 million.
Williams is headed to the east coast after spending his whole career with the Chargers organization. He and Garrett Wilson should provide Aaron Rodgers with one of the most formidable receiver duos assuming Williams can stay healthy. Williams is recovering from an ACL tear he suffered in Week 3 of last season, but is said to be ahead of schedule. Things just got more exciting in the AFC East.

I'm not sold on Bowers. Joe D is going all in, as he has to, and the upside is great but the risk of injury is also great. Trade back and get more picks for tackles and WR to hedge that risk.If I were the Jets, I'd be very tempted to draft TE Brock Bowers now.
Rodgers, B. Hall, G. Wilson, M. Wilson, B. Bowers.
Conklin is a pretty solid move TE. Not sure that’s a big need comparatively.If I were the Jets, I'd be very tempted to draft TE Brock Bowers now.

Right - plus with the relatively short window of ARod being there/competitive compared to the relatively long time it takes most TEs to get up to NFL speed, it just doesn’t sound like a great fit.If I were the Jets, I'd be very tempted to draft TE Brock Bowers now.
I absolutely do not want him. It's not a position of need or value. WR or OT.

Soooooooooo, how do you all think this impacts Wilson? A bit of a hit?
Meh, that's literally FanDuel giving you the Johnny Mitchell Kyle Brady troll job.I'm sickened that he's the betting favorite to go to the Jets on ESPN. Just read it on Twitter
May lose some red zone looks given that Williams is a big go-and-get-it target, but Garrett should be a target hog.Soooooooooo, how do you all think this impacts Wilson? A bit of a hit?

I don't know that TEs necessarily take a while to develop. Both Sam LaPorta and Dalton Kincaid were huge parts of top-5 teams last year, and Bowers is a lot better prospect than they were. Kyle Pitts had 1,000 yards as a rookie, which is also the only time he had a decent QB. Trey McBride broke out big in year 2 and might have in year 1 if he wasn't stuck behind Zach Ertz. I think the "TEs take a while to get going" idea is a bit of a relic of 10+ years ago.Right - plus with the relatively short window of ARod being there/competitive compared to the relatively long time it takes most TEs to get up to NFL speed, it just doesn’t sound like a great fit.If I were the Jets, I'd be very tempted to draft TE Brock Bowers now.

Well if it makes you feel any better Justin Fields had second most bets placed for league MVP on him last year. Just to give an idea of how off Vegas gamblers can be.Right - plus with the relatively short window of ARod being there/competitive compared to the relatively long time it takes most TEs to get up to NFL speed, it just doesn’t sound like a great fit.If I were the Jets, I'd be very tempted to draft TE Brock Bowers now.

Would be foolish IMO to think they solved the problems at OL in particular and can now view pick 10 as some kind of luxury pick.

Jets WR Mike Williams (ACL) said he’ll be ready for Week 1.
In his introductory press conference with the Jets, Williams — entering his age-30 season — said he’s four months removed from ACL surgery and should be ready to go in September. The timeline checks out since Williams suffered his ACL injury last September. The big-bodied downfield threat, who signed a one-year deal with the Jets this week, will serve as a much-needed No. 2 receiving option behind Garrett Wilson in 2024. His presence in the New York offense will be a boon for Aaron Rodgers as the 40-year-old QB returns from an Achilles tear.
