Unsurprisingly, New York Jets huge receiver Mike Williams does not appear keen to face as much as quarterback Aaron Rodgers.Â
After Monday’s 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Payments, Rodgers seemingly scapegoated Williams when he mentioned he ran the fallacious route on a game-sealing interception. Nevertheless, it regarded like Rodgers underthrew the ball on the play.
On Friday, Williams advised ESPN’s Rich Cimini that he and Rodgers had a gathering following Monday’s loss, and he wasn’t upset the quarterback referred to as him out.Â
“I simply need to be on the crimson line,” Williams mentioned, smiling. This remark in all probability refers to how Rodgers claimed Williams light to the sideline an excessive amount of on his vertical route.
Maybe Williams is making an attempt to regain Rodgers’ belief. On Tuesday, the Jets acquired WR Davante Adams — who performed with Rodgers in Inexperienced Bay from 2014-21 — in a commerce with the Las Vegas Raiders.Â
Adams’ arrival may end in fewer targets for Williams, who solely has 10 catches for 145 yards in six video games. He would be the group’s WR4 behind Adams, Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard.Â
In consequence, he might be a reputation to observe earlier than the Nov. 5 commerce deadline. On Thursday, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini tweeted that the Los Angeles Chargers, New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers are among the many groups which have proven curiosity in Williams.
Williams indicated he desires to remain in New York.
“I am the place my ft at,” he mentioned. “That is the principle factor for me. I got here right here for a cause. I am right here. I am excited for this weekend … and to play Sunday [against the Pittsburgh Steelers].”
To stick with the group, Williams should get together with Rodgers. Which may be why he is not saying he is upset the QB referred to as him out.
