Free agent wide receiver Mike Williams is set for a busy week ahead as he plans visits with multiple teams interested in his services. According to various reports, Williams has lined up meetings with the Jets, Steelers, and Panthers.
The Jets will be the first stop on Monday night, where they might present an enticing offer to persuade Williams to sign without exploring other options. However, it’s more likely that Williams will take the opportunity to hear out other teams, including the Steelers and Panthers.
Additionally, there’s speculation that Williams may also consider a return to the Chargers, who recently released him to free up salary cap space.
Despite his release, there’s a chance the Chargers could re-sign Williams at a reduced price.
One crucial factor for these teams will be assessing Williams’ progress in recovering from the torn ACL he suffered last season in Week Three. Teams will want assurance that he’s on track for a full recovery before committing to a contract.
Assuming he’s healthy, Williams, at 29 years old, brings a wealth of experience and talent to any offense. As a two-time 1,000-yard receiver with an impressive career average of 15.6 yards per catch, he could prove to be a valuable addition to any team.
