Quinnen Williams is sitting out of Thursday's practice with sore shoulder.
Fantasy Impact
It doesn't appear to be a major issue as of now. Williams can be considered as day-to-day.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the New York Jets have signed All-Pro DT Quinnen Williams to a four-year extension worth $96 million, with $66 million guaranteed.
Fantasy Impact
Fans noticed that Williams had added "Jets" back to his social media bio, and it turns out it was a good sign. Williams becomes the second-highest paid DT ever — receiving the largest second contract ever for a DT. The Jets had an incentive to get a deal done before the team will be featured on Hard Knocks, and they got it finalized. Williams is also the first Jet first-rounder to sign a second contract since the 2011 NFL Draft. Williams' 12 TFLs and 12 sacks in 2022 will be needed as the Jets look to make a playoff push in 2023 with QB Aaron Rodgers.
The New York Jets are negotiating a contract extension with star defensive tackle Quinnen Williams. Although no agreement has been reached yet, optimism persists that a deal will materialize before mid-June.
Fantasy Impact
Discrepancies revolve not just around salary but contract length and guarantees too. While Williams is reportedly seeking a contract akin to the NFL's top defensive tackles, the Jets are hoping to secure his talent for longer. Despite Williams expressing some frustration, both sides appear committed to reaching an accord. In 16 games last year, Williams accumulated 55 tackles, 12 sacks, and one fumble recovery.
Quinnen Williams (calf) will be active for Thursday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Fantasy Impact
Williams missed Week 15's game due to a calf injury, but he is active and well enough to play in New York's Week 16 game. He has had a terrific year so far, and his presence should offer a big boost to the Jets' defense in a must-win game against the Jaguars on Thursday night.
