The Jets trade Mike Williams to the Steelers after criticism from Aaron Rodgers

The Jets are moving on from Mike Williams.

Weeks after quarterback Aaron Rodgers criticized the veteran receiver, the Jets traded Williams to the Steelers ahead of the NFL trade deadline for a fifth-round pick.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter first reported the news.

Williams, who signed a one-year, $10 million contract this offseason, was considered the odd man out after the Jets acquired Davante Adams from the Raiders.

Williams gives the 6-2 Steelers a much-needed boost at the position after bringing in promising youngster George Pickens.
