Are the Jets trading Mike Williams? Here’s what we know ahead of TNF.

The New York Jets head into Thursday night’s Houston Texans game with a meager 2-6 record.

That might inspire New York to dabble in selling at the 2024 NFL trade deadline, with wide receiver Mike Williams a definite possibility to join a new team.

What’s the latest on Williams potentially being traded before Tuesday’s deadline?

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported this week that the outcome of the Texans game might loom large on Williams’ future with the team.

“What’s clear is the Jets are open to a trade, Williams is open to a trade and there is external interest in a deal,” Fowler reported. “My sense, though, is the Jets want to get through Thursday night’s game with the Texans before fully assessing the market and potentially doing a deal.

“If the Jets win, they’ll hang onto slim playoff hopes and might decide Williams is important to keep around as an additional vertical threat alongside Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams. If they lose, then there’s even more motivation to move him. An acquiring team would be on the hook for $3.35 million, unless the Jets agree to pay some of that remaining money from Williams’ one-year contract.”

There you have it. Be sure to key in on how the Jets do on Thursday night against Houston as to whether or not Williams is traded by next week.
