Aaron Rodgers publicly criticized Jets receiver Mike Williams for a mistake that led to a game-sealing interception against the Bills, raising questions about team dynamics and recent roster changes. Williams returned to the field on Wednesday, ready for Sunday's game against the Steelers. Williams' absence came right after the Jets completed a trade to bring Davante Adams onto the team, a move that could push Williams down the depth chart, where he's expected to be WR4 this weekend.
According to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, Williams said he’s not upset about the public criticism from Rodgers. “I just have to be on the red line,” he said. Williams allegedly broke his route to the inside, leading to an interception by Rodgers. Devin McCourty clarified that the interception was Rodgers' fault for not throwing the ball away when he noticed Williams wasn't where he was supposed to be. Williams has yet to gain Rodgers' trust, who now has two former Green Bay receivers in the fold.
“We’re definitely still building,” Williams said regarding his chemistry with Rodgers. Williams' frustration with the Jets could potentially cause further friction with Rodgers, who has a strong presence in the locker room. However, the bigger picture suggests his future with the Jets may be uncertain, as the trade deadline is less than three weeks away and there are rumors of him being moved before then. The Jets' offensive scheme is undergoing changes, and Williams might find himself on the outside if the team reshapes its lineup.
