In a surprising move, former Clemson wide receiver Mike Williams is making waves in the NFL once again.
Recent reports from NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reveal that Williams has inked a one-year deal with the New York Jets. The contract is rumored to be worth up to $15 million, although specifics on guaranteed money remain undisclosed, leaving the extent of incentive-based earnings uncertain.
Williams’ stellar performance in 2021, boasting 76 receptions, 1,146 receiving yards, and nine touchdowns, led to a lucrative three-year, $60 million extension ($40 million guaranteed) with the Chargers. However, as he enters the final year of his contract, the Chargers have chosen to part ways.
Since his NFL debut in 2017, Williams has been a cornerstone of the Chargers’ offense, showcasing his talent despite grappling with injuries. With an impressive career tally of 409 catches, 4,806 yards, and 31 touchdowns, Williams has consistently demonstrated his prowess as one of the league’s top wide receivers.
Below is a look at how social media reacted to Williams joining the Jets.
