One issue remains looming over the Jets’ offseason: Will the team get a long-term contract extension done with star defensive tackle Quinnen Williams? General manager Joe Douglas has gotten high ma…
He has put together a strong roster.And he has the Jets entering a season with higher expectations than they have had in more than a decade.Is there reason to panic that a deal won’t get done?There is still confidence the two sides will reach an agreement, according to those in the know about the negotiations.The sense is they are not that far apart, and there is hope something could happen in the next few weeks before NFL business slows down in mid-June.
Most people are focused on the average salary per year, but that may not be the hurdle the two sides need to clear. While defensive tackles Daron Payne of the Commanders, Jeffery Simmons of the Titans and Dexter Lawrence of the Giants all signed four-year extensions, the Jets may be trying to lock up Williams a little longer in exchange for a higher per-year average.Williams’ agent, Nicole Lynn, surely wants her client to get another shot at free agency in four years, closer to his prime, instead of five. Though that could lead to a standoff, it should not be an impossible hurdle to clear.
Lawrence was the most recent of the three to sign and surprisingly didn’t push the market forward, accepting a four-year, $90 million pact nearly identical to Payne’s. Lawrence and Payne share agent Joel Segal. “As soon as Simmons’ deal got done, that became Quinnen Williams’ floor,” Corry said. “He’s going to say, ‘Who was First Team All-Pro last year?’ I want at least $24 million per year.’ I can understand why he would want [to average] $25 million. That’s not an unreasonable ask. There shouldn’t be as big of a gap between Aaron Donald and everybody else.”
