Mike Williams may be on his way out of Jets land. 

The veteran wide receiver is expected to be shopped around over the coming weeks after the addition of Davante Adams on Tuesday, according to NBC Sports’ Mike Florio

Garrett Wilson and Adams are expected to form an excellent 1-2 punch at the position while Allen Lazard, another long-time favorite of Aaron Rodgers, likely will slot in as the No. 3 pass-catcher. 

Williams, who is coming off a torn ACL, may have fallen out of favor with Rodgers after he allegedly ran the wrong route on the quarterback’s game-ending interception during Monday’s 23-20 loss to the Bills. 

With just over two minutes remaining, Williams slipped as a long pass from Rodgers came his way, allowing Taron Johnson to jump in front of him for the interception. 

After the game, Rodgers threw the blame on Williams’ shoulders for the disastrous play.

“There’s two verticals, Allen (Lazard)’s down the seam, and Mike’s down the red line,” Rodgers said. “So, I’m throwing a no look to the red line. When I peak my eyes back there Mike’s running an ‘in-breaker’ … it’s gotta be down the red line.”

Since coming over from the Chargers, whom he spent the first seven seasons of his career with, Williams hasn’t clicked with Rodgers, catching just 10 passes for 145 yards. 

On Monday, Williams didn’t have a single catch on three targets. 

Williams had caught at least 43 passes in each of his past five full seasons with the Chargers. 

The Jets signed Williams to a one-year deal worth up to $15 million over the offseason.
