The Jets, as expected, have picked up Quinnen Williams’ fifth-year option for 2023, per Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer.
The defensive tackle will make $11.5 million in 2023. A 2019 first-round draft pick, Williams is set to earn $4.9 million this coming season.
Williams is eligible for a contract extension, but ESPN’s Rich Cimini recently reported that there has been little movement on that front, though the Jets have expressed an interest in keeping the 24-year-old long-term. Williams has been at the voluntary portion of New York’s offseason program.
