Quinnen Williams Fantasy

The New York Jets and All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams agreed to terms on a four-year, $96 million contract extension on Thursday. It's the second-largest contract ever for a defensive tackle, according to sources. Williams will also receive $66 million in guarantees. The 25-year-old former third overall pick in 2019 gets paid handsomely after a career year in 2022 in which he tallied 55 tackles (35 solo), a career-high 12 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, 28 QB hits, four passes defensed, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 16 starts. He will continue to be a force on the interior of New York's defensive line for years to come. The Jets defense/special teams unit is one of the best in football and will be a popular selection in fantasy drafts.

New York Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams is eligible for a contract extension this offseason and head coach Robert Saleh believes he'll be extended before training camp begins. "I speak for everyone -- I probably speak for Quinnen -- in that we all want (to) get (it) done sooner rather than later," Saleh said. "I'll let the business guys handle all that stuff, but it's going to get done. He'll be here for camp. He'll be ready to roll and once he is, I'm sure it'll be the same guy who was here." Williams was a First-Team All-Pro selection in 2022, and interior defensive linemen Dexter Lawrence, Jeffery Simmons, Javon Hargrave, and Daron Payne all signed new contracts worth at least $21 million annually this offseason. Williams is due for his pay day, and it looks like it'll happen any time in the next month.

According to Brian Costello and Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post, there's "still confidence" the Jets and defensive lineman Quinnen Williams will get a deal done, possibly by "mid-June." The 25-year-old is coming off a fantastic season, totaling 55 tackles and two forced fumbles. He also had a career-high 12 sacks and made the Pro Bowl. Williams is expected to command well over $20 million per season in a new contract. But with the Jets looking to make a deep postseason run, keeping him happy may be in the team's best interest.
