Quinnen Williams and the New York Jets have agreed to a massive new deal for the former Alabama defensive lineman.
Williams agreed to a 4-year, $96 million deal that includes $66 million guaranteed, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported. Williams is the latest defensive lineman in the NFL to receive a huge deal this offseason after Washington’s Daron Payne, and Tennessee’s Jeffery Simmons received similar contract terms.
Williams, 25, was a first-time All-Pro and Pro Bowl selection last season, and is entering the final year of his rookie contract after he was drafted 3rd overall out of Alabama in 2019.
Williams had his best season as a pro in 2022 when he set career highs with 12 sacks, 28 quarterback hits and 12 tackles for loss. He was also selected the Jets’ MVP by his teammates.
