Semi NGT: Quinnen Williams unhappy with the Jets?

𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲: #Jets star DT Quinnen Williams bio now reads:

"Defensive Tackle for ………"

With his last tweet is a RT of the contract the #Giants gave Dexter Lawrence - $90 million with $60 million guaranteed.

Williams is clearly sending the Jets a message as they're working on a new contract and the last report about it is that they two sides "aren't close to an agreement."

QB takes up an exorbitant amount of cap space.
I don’t blame him  
JoeyBigBlue : 5/15/2023 12:14 pm : link
He sees every other DT get paid and he wants to get his contract too. He’s a top 5 DT right now, so he definitely deserves it.
they're due for a roster re-set in a couple of years.

Hitching their train to Rodgers.
Not to be overly critical....  
Vin_Cuccs : 5/15/2023 12:16 pm : link
....but this is so Jets. Completely overpay for the aging 39-year-old QB, and ignore the homegrown, stud 25-year-old all-pro DT.

This is what happens whenever anyone is setting a new benchmark deal.
Good.

I'm not sure about that, the top of the market for DTs is very set with the recent contracts, Williams is going to get 4 years and 90-something million.

I can't imagine the Jets don't want to resign him, its more likely they realize they don't currently have the cap space.
I doubt it  
UConn4523 : 5/15/2023 12:31 pm : link
they knew all of this for months, before/during/after the Rodgers signing. You don’t know what Williams is asking for or the terms. IMO we signed Dex to favorable terms and Williams probably doesn’t want to be that willing to compromise.
For all you know he’s asking for an Aaron Donald contract  
UConn4523 : 5/15/2023 12:34 pm : link
fully guaranteed or approaching $100m in guarantees.
Good news for Michael Lombardi  
CornellBruin : 5/15/2023 12:37 pm : link
He can just repurpose his “disease of me” commentary for the other New York time instead of his usual hobby horse.
It will get done  
JoeyBigBlue : 5/15/2023 12:39 pm : link
They’ll extend him and lower his cap for this season. They need to figure out Rodgers’ contract for next season though. I guess it will depend on this season goes.
Could be the first wheel off the Jets Band Wagon

We will see if the Jets can get a deal done.

Wasn’t he unhappy last year too?
Good thing DG is gone  
eric2425ny : 5/15/2023 2:14 pm : link
He’d trade the future for him and tie up $200M in DT’s lol.
What happens if the Jets dont make the playoffs this year?  
Rudy5757 : 5/15/2023 3:14 pm : link
Thats definitely a game I want the Giants to win. The Jets can havethe preseason game and continue with the offseason winner attitude as long as we get the regular season W.

I think the Jets balloon is very full right now. I few early losses and that thing will pop and Rodgers will say something in the press and that whole team will implode.

Does Not Want To Play On 5th Year Team Option  
Bob in Newburgh : 5/15/2023 4:57 pm : link
None of them do. For the player, same reason they do not want to play on Franchise Tag. Player bears all the risk of injury depriving him of set-for-life signing bonus on new contract.

This is not yet news but there are multitudes of excess media trying to feed at the trough.
Jets have a pretty hard

Agreed and the players have more leverage than people think. An unhappy Williams can derail a season. It’s the perfect time for him to ask for the moon - Douglas’ job depends on making the playoffs.

The Jets have potential trainwreck all over them. And if so, good. I never had a problem with that franchise until Rex came & started yapping & now I can't stand 'em.
He is a really good player

and you have a business side to this.

I thought it was interesting that Schoen said it is getting very hard to find DT's in college and that it used to be easier. Perhaps explains the DT market taking off the last couple years.
