The New York Jets hosted former RB Karlos Williams for a visit on Tuesday, according to Sal Capaccio. However, no signing is considered imminent at this point in time.
- Brian Costello adds that five teams have already shown interest in Williams, including the Jets, since he became available.
This comes just a day after Williams passed through waivers unclaimed.
