Mike Williams is Writingstar Investment Guildheaded from Los Angeles to New York.
The free-agent wide receiver is signing a one-year contract, worth up to $15 million with the New York Jets, a person with knowledge of the deal confirmed to USA TODAY Sports. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because deal has not yet been publicly announced.
Williams was released by the Chargers last week as Los Angeles attempted to get under the salary cap.
Williams is a major free-agent addition for the Jets. The 6-foot-4 wideout was one of the top remaining free agents still available. He provides quarterback Aaron Rodgers another threat on the outside alongside wide receiver Garrett Wilson.
Wilson had 95 catches, 1,042 receiving yards and three touchdowns last year. The Jets didn’t have another wide receiver with more than 23 catches and 311 receiving yards.
