Since the team selected him in the fourth round of the 2010 draft, wide receiver Mike Williams has outplayed the contract he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Though a deal is far from being finalized, the Bucs have begun negotiating with Williams’ agent, Hadley Engelhard, aimed at extending his contract. Williams was the 101st player selected, and played his college ball at Syracuse University. He signed a four-year, $2.33 million contract that included escalator clauses that allowed his pay to increase to $1.4 million for the 2013 season.

But Williams began playing at a rate well above his pay scale leading all NFL rookies with 65 receptions for 964 yards and 11 touchdowns during his first season. The following year, Williams caught 65 passes again, but his yardage and touchdowns slipped.

In 2012, Williams made a comeback, catching 63 passes for 996 yards and a team leading nine touchdowns.

Along with pro bowler, Vincent Jackson, Williams helped form one of the best big play receiving duos in the league.
