Chargers ‘looked’ at Mike Williams trade and Steelers-Jets deal

Many expected the Los Angeles Chargers to be active at the NFL trade deadline. However, as the hours continue to tick on the deadline, the franchise has taken no action. One franchise making moves is the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their latest move might even disappoint Chargers fans.

Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero have reported that the Steelers and New York Jets have agreed to a trade that will send wide receiver Mike Williams to Pittsburgh. The move will add depth to the Steelers receiver unit as Chargers fans wonder who could be the next trade target for their team.

This is reported by The Athletic Dianna Russinithe Chargers “looked at it” before the Steelers made the move.

Williams had several strong seasons with the Chargers, including two years in which the receiver had over 1,000 yards receiving. However, due to a serious knee injury last season, Williams will look a little different in 2024. The former first-round pick has just 12 receptions and 166 yards receiving this season.

The reunion between the Chargers and Williams is therefore cancelled. Where can the team find depth now? Luckily, I don’t get paid millions of dollars to make those kinds of decisions. But those who do may want to hurry. Before you know it it’s 4pm.
