New York signed veteran wide receiver Mike Williams to a one-year deal worth up to $15 million, per multiple reports.
Williams, 29, joins the Jets from the Chargers and is coming off a 2023 season that was cut short after tearing his ACL in a Week 3 matchup against the Vikings.
Prior to the injury, he had 19 catches for. 249 yards and a touchdown.
Williams has battled injuries for much of his career, but when healthy, has proven to be a valuable asset in the receiving corps - including two seasons of 1,000 yards receiving, most recently in 2021.
The Jets hope Williams can serve as a complement to No. 1 receiver Garrett Wilson, who has managed back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving seasons with a hodgepodge of quarterbacks, led by Zach Wilson.
Evan Roberts was ecstatic about the move on Tuesday’s “Evan & Tiki.”
“There we go!” Roberts said. “Mike Williams came to Florham Park, he got breakfast courtesy of a Twitter Jet fan…and Mike Williams said, ‘hmm, they got a fixed offensive line, Aaron Rodgers isn’t running for VP, I’m good to go.’”
