Bills General Manager Doug Whaley said Monday that wide receiver Mike Williams would like to be traded away from Buffalo after he was a healthy scratch for the team’s Week Six loss to the Patriots.
The team that beat the Bills in the first of their four straight Super Bowl losses may be willing to make a deal. Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports that the Giants have “some” interest in the wideout.
With Victor Cruz out for the season because of a knee injury, the Giants figure to be looking at any possibilities that could help their receiving corps. Williams is an imperfect fit as the Giants would have to both give up compensation and assume a contract that’s set to pay him $5.2 million next year, which is a sizable double whammy if Williams isn’t a player that they’d be considering with Cruz in the picture.
Rueben Randle, Odell Beckham, Preston Parker and Corey Washington are the healthy receivers on the active roster and the Giants have three wideouts on the practice squad, including former member of the 53-man roster Julian Talley, to call on.
