Jets are trading LB Avery Williamson to the Steelers, as @MMehtaNYDN reported.

Trade terms, per source: Jets get Pitt’s 5th-round pick in 2022; Steelers get Williamson and Jets’ 2022 7th-round pick.

Fantasy Impact:

Williamson goes from the winless Jets to the undefeated Steelers on Sunday. The Steelers recently lost LB Devin Bush (ACL) for the season and allowed a season-high 265 rushing yards to the Ravens Week 8. Williamson will slot in as the Steelers’ starting inside LB role right away. The 28-year-old racked up 59 tackles and one interception over six games for the Jets this season.
