Reports: Jets to sign WR Mike Williams to one-year, $15M deal

The New York Jets are signing wide receiver Mike Williams to a one-year deal worth up to $15 million, ESPN and NFL Network reported Tuesday.

Williams, 29, was a cap casualty released by the Los Angeles Chargers last week after he spent his first seven NFL seasons with the club.

Williams’ 2023 season was cut short in Week 3 when he suffered a torn ACL. In 88 career games (62 starts), he has racked up 309 catches for 4,806 yards (15.6 yards per catch) and 31 touchdowns, plus one rushing touchdown.

In Los Angeles, Williams was the No. 2 receiver complementing Keenan Allen. In New York, he will line up opposite former Offensive Rookie of the Year Garrett Wilson while quarterback Aaron Rodgers makes his return from injury.

Williams was due to make $17 million in the final year of his three-year deal with the Chargers before he was released.

Davante Adams, Justin Jefferson among stars of Netflix’s ‘Receiver’

Davante Adams, Justin Jefferson and three other big-name pass catchers are starring in Netflix’s docuseries called “Receiver,” the streaming service announced Tuesday.

The star wideouts of the Las Vegas Raiders and Minnesota Vikings, respectively, will be joined by the San Francisco 49ers duo of Deebo Samuel and George Kittle as well as Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.

The eight-episode series is scheduled to start in the summer.

“Receiver” is a continuation of Netflix’s relationship with the NFL that first began with “Quarterback” in 2023. The production is a joint endeavor with NFL Films, Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions and Patrick Mahomes’ 2PM Productions.

“The natural progression is from a pass to a catch, so we’re excited to dive into the ‘Receiver’ world after the success of our ‘Quarterback’ series,” Netflix executive Gabe Spitzer said. “NFL Films, Omaha Productions and 2PM Productions have delivered again in finding unique and dynamic athletes who will further highlight the drama of this sport on and off the field.”

Manning said he was “excited” to give fans a closer look at some of the best receivers in the NFL.

“As we did with ‘Quarterback,’ we look forward to telling the stories of five incredible receivers, each with their unique personality, skillset and motivation for what drives them to be the best.”

NFL Week 8 Stat Recap Table: QB, RB and WR

Another day, another quarterback change in Tampa Bay. It’s not often that teams bench a starter, try someone else at the position, and then go back to the original starter. And yet, Ryan Fitzpatrick will be starting next week vs. the Panthers. Keep in mind, he led the Buccaneers to a 2-0 start, beating the defending champs and handing New Orleans their only loss. Then he almost led a miraculous 2nd half comeback following a dismal first half performance vs the Steelers. Week 4 is where it really went down hill. He went 9/18 for 126 yards and 1 interception, and was benched for Jameis Winston. Since then, it appeared that Tampa Bay was set on Winston as a starter, but here we are awaiting what Fitzmagic can produce vs. a hot Carolina team in week 9.

Also, the Houston Texans have won their last 5 games.

Notable Performances

  • Deshaun Watson tossed 239 yards and 5 touchdowns
  • Patrick Mahomes tossed for 303 yards and 4 touchdowns
  • Marlon Mack, Joe Mixon, and James Connor all rushed for 100+ yards and 2 touchdowns
  • 12 Players with 100+ receiving yards
  • 6 Players with 2 receiving touchdowns
