Mike Williams to be on trade block after Jets’ Davante Adams addition

Mike Williams could also be on his approach out of Jets land. 

The veteran huge receiver is predicted to be shopped round over the approaching weeks after the addition of Davante Adams on Tuesday, in response to NBC Sports activities’ Mike Florio. 

Williams is all of the sudden the odd man out in a crowded Jets huge receivers room. 

Garrett Wilson and Adams are anticipated to kind a wonderful 1-2 punch on the place whereas Allen Lazard, one other long-time favourite of Aaron Rodgers, doubtless will slot in because the No. 3 pass-catcher. 

Williams, who’s coming off a torn ACL, might have fallen out of favor with Rodgers after he allegedly ran the flawed route on the quarterback’s game-ending interception throughout Monday’s 23-20 loss to the Payments. 

With simply over two minutes remaining, Williams slipped as an extended go from Rodgers got here his approach, permitting Taron Johnson to leap in entrance of him for the interception. 

After the sport, Rodgers threw the blame on Williams’ shoulders for the disastrous play. 

“There’s two verticals, Allen (Lazard)’s down the seam, and Mike’s down the purple line,” Rodgers stated. “So, I’m throwing a no look to the purple line. After I peak my eyes again there Mike’s working an ‘in-breaker’ … it’s gotta be down the purple line.”

Since coming over from the Chargers, whom he spent the primary seven seasons of his profession with, Williams hasn’t clicked with Rodgers, catching simply 10 passes for 145 yards. 

On Monday, Williams didn’t have a single catch on three targets. 

Williams had caught at the least 43 passes in every of his previous 5 full seasons with the Chargers. 

The Jets signed Williams to a one-year deal value as much as $15 million over the offseason.
