The New York Jets have agreed to terms with former Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams on a one-year contract, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press.

The 29-year-old Williams visited the Jets' facility Tuesday and reportedly had meetings with other teams scheduled — but New York didn’t let him leave its building without a deal.

NFL Network first reported the agreement between Williams and the Jets and said it’s worth up to $15 million.

Williams gives quarterback Aaron Rodgers another playmaker as a complement to No. 1 wide receiver Garrett Wilson in what could be a much-improved offense this season after the Jets ranked last or near the bottom of the NFL in several categories.

Along with Rodgers expecting to be fully healthy after tearing his left Achilles tendon four plays into his debut for New York, the Jets rebuilt their offensive line by signing left tackle Tyron Smith and left guard John Simpson and acquiring Morgan Moses from Baltimore in a trade last week.

Williams comes with some injury concerns, the most recent a torn ACL suffered in the Chargers’ third game last season. He had a strong start before the injury, catching 19 passes for 249 yards and a touchdown.

Williams also missed four regular-season games in 2022 because of an ankle injury and was sidelined for a playoff game at Jacksonville after he hurt his back in the finale at Denver. But after missing the first six games of his rookie season with a back ailment, Williams played in at least 15 games in each of the next four seasons.

Williams was released by Los Angeles last week, a move that freed up $20 million in salary cap space. The seventh overall pick out of Clemson in 2017 was entering the final year of a contract extension worth $60 million that included $40 million guaranteed before his release by the Chargers.

He has 309 catches for 4,806 yards and 31 touchdowns in 88 career games — and the Jets envision the 6-foot-4 receiver as a field-stretching and red zone presence who will take some of the pressure and attention off Wilson. Williams has 22 receptions of at least 40 yards since 2019, ranking him among the leaders in the AFC during that stretch.

Wilson, the 2022 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, had a team-leading 95 receptions for 1,042 yards and three touchdowns last season even with opponents keying in on him. The Jets lacked a consistent No. 2 wide receiver with Allen Lazard, who signed as a free agent last offseason, finishing with 23 catches for 311 yards and one TD.

Williams gives Rodgers and the Jets a clear-cut No. 2, with Lazard, Xavier Gipson and tight ends Tyler Conklin and Jeremy Ruckert working in the passing game along with running back Breece Hall, who finished second on New York last season with 76 receptions.
