Mike Williams does not appear to be very happy with the New York Jets over the past few days.
Now the cherry on top is Williams sitting out practices this week due to “personal reasons.”
Williams, 30, signed a one-year contract in New York this offseason. He was coming off of an ACL injury last year with the Los Angeles Chargers.
The year prior, Williams had 63 catches for 895 yards and four touchdowns. The Jets signed him to a base salary of $10 million for the season in hopes of getting those numbers… and now he’s clearly going to be departing the team soon.
Late in New York’s 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Williams was blamed by quarterback Aaron Rodgers for an interception he threw.
A day later, the Jets traded for Las Vegas Raiders All-Pro receiver Davante Adams.
Those things are publicly known, let alone what might have happened behind closed doors that we don’t and may never know about.
Regardless, Williams’ frustrations, the team’s, or both have evidently hit a point of no return with him staring at a departure. That could be a trade if a suitor is found… or him being cut from that roster.
Jets Wire will provide updates when information is made available.
