Since the Jets traded for Davante Adams, Williams has been the subject of trade rumors.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler believes Williams’ future could be tied to the Jets’ performance on Thursday night. If the Jets can defeat the Texans and move to 3-6, the team might elect to keep Williams and see if they can go on a run.
If the Jets lose and fall to 2-7, look for the organization to shop Williams before the trade deadline on November 5.
Williams has struggled to gain any momentum with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Williams has 11 receptions for 160 yards in eight games.
This past offseason, Williams signed a one-year contract worth up to $15 million with the Jets. The expiring contract makes Williams an enticing option for teams that don’t want a long-term commitment.

Which teams would be potential destinations for Williams?
The Pittsburgh Steelers immediately come to mind as a landing spot for Williams. The Steelers were interested in acquiring Brandon Aiyuk and Davante Adams but failed both times.
Williams would be a solid addition to pair with George Pickens in an improving Steelers’ offense.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers desperately need receiver help after injuries to Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Evans will miss the next couple of games, while Godwin is out for the season. Adding Williams would give Baker Mayfield a reliable pass-catching target.
Finally, the Houston Texans might be in the market for a receiver after the season-ending injury to Stefon Diggs. Nico Collins should be back in Week 10, but Tank Dell has been a major disappointment. Williams could become C.J. Stroud’s No. 2 target on offense.
