The New York Jets have a fake problem on their hands. They’re in the impossible spot of nailing a draft pick to the point where they have to pay a market rate extension.
Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams hasn’t hid his desire to become the highest-paid defensive tackle in the league, including a little social media savvy on his end. Williams removed the Jets from his Twitter profile and poked fun at general manager Joe Douglas saying the Jets are “optimistic” they can get a deal done. The 25-year-old has developed into an elite defensive player since the Jets took him with the third pick in the 2019 draft and the bill has come due.
