I’m Leaving Steelers for Russell Wilson, linebacker T. J. Watt reveals his decision

Star wide receiver Mike Williams is being considered by the Pittsburgh Steelers as a possible replacement for quarterback Russell Wilson. After Diontae Johnson was traded, the squad needs additional receivers, with George Pickens being the only well-known starter.

In an unusual player-for-player transaction, Johnson was sent to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for cornerback Donte Jackson, saving the Steelers some cash. The club may suffer from Johnson’s loss, but Williams might be a fantastic backup and even mesh better with the new quarterback.

Williams matches Wilson’s profile; he has seen success working with larger receivers like Jimmy Graham, Courtland Sutton, and DK Metcalf. However, Williams is apparently of interest to more teams than only the Steelers; the New York Jets are

This summer, the Jets have added two new tackles, Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses, to fortify their offensive line, and they added John Simpson to the middle. It’s possible that this will elevate the team’s line from among the poorest in the league to among the best.

Williams may decide to join with the Jets and replace budding sensation Garrett Wilson as the team’s second receiver after quarterback Aaron Rodgers missed nearly the entire 2017 campaign due to an Achilles tendon rupture, according to the Mirror US.

The Los Angeles Chargers let Williams go because of his $20 million salary cap burden. Without taking a dead cap hit, the team could let him go and use the money for other things.
