Former Los Angeles Chargers WR Mike Williams is planning to visit the Jets on Monday, according to FOX Sports Radio 1340's Sheena Quick.
Williams will also visit the Carolina Panthers on Tuesday. He was released by the Chargers on March 13 after playing the first seven years of his career with the franchise. The 29-year-old was limited to just three games in 2023 after tearing his ACL in Week 3.
He was selected with the No. 7 overall pick out of Clemson in the 2017 NFL Draft and has amassed 309 receptions for 4,806 yards and 31 touchdowns in 88 games (62 starts). Williams' breakout season came in 2021 when he racked up 76 catches for 1,1046 yards and six touchdowns in 16 games with 14 starts.

As free agent pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney explores his options for next season, he is set to meet with the Jets next week, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
Clowney is said to be meeting with the Carolina Panthers on Thursday evening.
After a down year, the 30-year-old recorded two forced fumbles and tied his career-high with 9.5 sacks last season in 17 games (15 starts) with the Baltimore Ravens.

The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to "aggressively pursue" linebacker Bryce Huff in free agency, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini.
Huff, 25, had a career-high 10 sacks with the Jets in 2023, but the team opted to not use the franchise tag on the pass rusher, making him a free agent.
Huff signed with New York as an undrafted free agent in 2020 out of the University of Memphis. He has amassed 17.5 sacks and 65 total tackles over four seasons, including 29 combined tackles (19 solo) in 2023.
Russini noted that Philadelphia has "been shopping both Josh Sweat and Haason Reddick for the last few weeks," as the team looks to make a change and potential upgrade on defense.
One agent recently told SNY's Connor Hughes that Huff could sign a three-year deal worth nearly $15 million annually with close to $30 million guaranteed.
