Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams will not attend the start of the team’s voluntary offseason program Monday because he has yet to sign a contract extension, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. When the season ended, Williams said he wouldn’t attend the program without a new deal, and it appears he’s being true to his word.
He’s due $9.594 million on the fifth-year option of his rookie deal and is expected to command a hefty price tag after having the best season of his career.
Williams, 25, was named to his first Pro Bowl in 2022 and received first-team All-Pro recognition as well. He registered 12 sacks, 51 tackles and two forced fumbles during the career year. Without him in the fold, New York’s playoff hopes would take a major hit despite the expectation that Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is expected to be traded to the team.
