Quincy Williams has been one of the best development stories the New York Jets have produced in recent years. Claimed off waivers as a low-risk flier in 2021, Williams grew into a tone-setting linebacker and blossomed into a genuine All-Pro and team leader.
For a time, Williams was a foundational piece in the middle of the Jets’ defense and a symbol of what smart player development could accomplish. Unfortunately, that chapter appears to be nearing its end.
Williams is set to hit free agency this offseason, and all signs point to his time in Florham Park coming to a close.
