Jets Writer Slams Steelers New WR
PITTSBURGH — Right before the trade deadline the Pittsburgh Steelers were finally able to land a wide receiver after they spent the entire offseason and first half of the 2024 NFL Season looking for one. Mike Williams ended up being the answer for the Steelers and is set to make an immediate impact with the team.
That being said, the former New York Jet caught some flack from a Jets writer in his reaction to the trade. ESPN’s Rich Cimini believes that Williams might not be the same player people expect him to be on the Steelers, calling him “diminished”. Cimini appeared on the 93.7 The Fan PM Show by Joe Starkey to talk about the trade.
“I think he’s a diminished player, is what it comes down to,” Cimini said. “I mean, he’s coming off a serious injury. He had the ACL [injury] last fall. I think it was late October when he had the injury. And he didn’t have any OTAs, he did very little in training camp. They got him ready to go for opening day, which was ahead of schedule, and he just has not produced for the Jets.”
His production with the Jets has not been what they had hoped, with 166 yards on twelve receptions on the year. The addition of the Davante Adams, who the Steelers tried unsuccessfully to land, diminished his role further and was one of the reasons he was available at the deadline in the first place.
The Steelers have needed someone like Williams since parting with Diontae Johnson, and with Johnson now in the division the need increased as the deadline loomed closer. Now with Williams on the team, defenses will put less pressure on George Pickens and allow for the offense to spread out a bit more than it has to this point.

50 Leaders Give Their Rx for Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O’Connor, Pt. VII – Pittsburgh Quarterly
Mark Opitz, Managing Partner, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh stands at a promising moment of civic reinvention, with an opportunity to build on its leadership in AI, robotics, and advanced innovation to create a more vibrant urban future. A key priority for the mayor could be strengthening confidence in Downtown by continuing its evolution from a 9-to-5 employment center into a mixed-use neighborhood that attracts workers, residents, students, and visitors throughout the entire week.
To advance that vision, the mayor should give consideration to public safety, cleanliness, and mobility, along with creative reuse of underutilized office space for housing, emerging companies, and cultural activity. Equally important is sending a clear, consistent signal that Pittsburgh welcomes investment and partnership. Regulatory predictability, efficient approvals, and strong collaboration among the city, employers, institutions, and neighboring communities can help align development with market realities. By pairing economic ambition with quality of life, the city’s leadership can position Downtown — and the city — as confident, innovative, and open for growth.
One of Pittsburgh’s biggest goals before hosting the NFL Draft was to modernize Market Square. It is just one of the spaces in the downtown area that is being transformed for the massive event.
