Multiple teams inquired about Williams after the Jets acquired star wide receiver Davante Adams in October. A person close to the situation told USA TODAY Sports that Williams’ name kept coming up in trade scenarios and the Steelers were one of the team's that coveted the 6-4 wideout. He's now found a new home in Pittsburgh.

The NFL trade deadline is at 4 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday, November 5. Between now and then, wide receivers and edge pass-rushers are believed to be the premier positions dealt, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, who spoke on the Rich Eisen Show about specific players he's been hearing about.
