The Pittsburgh Steelers have acquired wide receiver Mike Williams from the New York Jets in exchange for a 2025 fifth-round draft pick. Mike Williams, on a one-year contract with a guaranteed salary of $627,500 for 2024, will become an unrestricted free agent in 2025. The Steelers had been scouring the league for receiver help over recent weeks and had been in discussions with the Jets for weeks before finalizing the deal. Williams, known for his ability as a '50/50 guy' and his big-bodied presence, fits the Steelers' preference for such wide receivers.
