The #Jets and All-Pro DT Quinnen Williams agreed to terms on a four-year, $96 million megadeal — the largest second contract ever for a defensive tackle, sources say.
Williams gets $66 million in guarantees in the deal negotiated by @AgentNicoleLynn.
“We are thrilled to secure Quinnen as a New York Jet for the foreseeable future, as he embodies everything we look for in our players,” said Jets GM Joe Douglas. “He is a leader on and off the field, who does everything asked of him and more. He is a young, ascending player who has shown a consistent ability to dominate the line of scrimmage and help this team win. We are happy to have the business of football behind us and to turn our focus to getting ready for the 2023 season.”
“Quinnen is the epitome of a Jet,” added Chairman Woody Johnson. “His commitment to this organization and our fans is consistently on display in his play, in his preparation, and in his work serving those in this area. We are looking forward to him, his wife, Maranda, and their new baby girl being Jets for a long time.”
Over the course of his career, analysts have marked Williams as one of the best defensive lineman in the NFL. Playing 58 games in four years, totaling up to 191 total tackles including 118 solo and 73 assisted. Not only is Williams a run stuffer, but he gets after the QB. The former Alabama standout has racked up 27.5 sacks in the NFL and 10 in college.
“First and foremost, I want to thank God for making all of this possible,” Williams said. “I also want to thank my beautiful wife, Maranda, for being my backbone throughout my journey. In addition, I want to express my gratitude to my agent, Nicole Lynn, for working tirelessly alongside Jets GM Joe Douglas, and Chairman Woody Johnson.”
New York and Williams will look to add to their newfound success this season after a 7-10 season in 2022.
