Mike Williams

Summary: Pittsburgh traded a fifth-round pick to the Jets for receiver Mike Williams. Williams was injury-prone and contributed minimally before departing in free agency. Analysis: Mike Williams had legitimate big-play ability but his chronic knee issues limited his effectiveness in Pittsburgh. The Jets received a fifth-round pick for a player they were moving on from anyway. Francisco Mauigoa (Pittsburgh's fifth, used by NY) has developmental potential. Given Williams's minimal production in Pittsburgh, the original "New York Jets Win" overstates the outcome — this is closer to even, a fair market transaction.

Summary: Jacksonville acquired TE Pete Mitchell from Miami for WR Mike Williams in a preseason roster swap. Analysis: Mitchell became a solid contributor as a blocking tight end and pass-catching option in the early Brunell-era offense. Williams was a depth receiver with minimal impact. Jacksonville got the more useful player in this swap, earning a slight historical lean.
