The Pittsburgh Steelers’ months-long search for a wide receiver has finally ended with the acquisition of Mike Williams. The former New York Jet and Los Angeles Charger will don Black and Gold on Sunday in Washington.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on X that the Steelers will take on the remainder of Williams’ contract.
According to Jeff Hathhorn, sports director at Pittsburgh’s 93.7 The Fan, the team will be responsible for just over $300,000, as most of the deal was already paid in bonuses.
In eight seasons since being selected by the Los Angeles Chargers at No. 7 overall, Williams has logged 4,972 yards and 31 touchdowns on 321 receptions.
Steelers will take on the remainder of Mike Williams’ contract for this season. He will become a free agent at season’s end.
