Quinnen Williams Poised to Shatter Jeffery Simmons' Contract in Jets Extension

Among the five defensive tackles who have gotten or are due for an extension this offseason are Williams, Daron Payne, Jeffery Simmons, Dexter Lawrence, and Christian Wilkins, according to @espn.

Quinnen William’s first 4 years compared to the other DT’s in the 2019 draft class:

2,249 snaps (5th)
27.5 sacks (1st)
190 tackles (4th)
4 forced fumbles (T-1st)
5.6% pressure rate (2nd)
14.7 pass rush win rate (1st)
40.4 run stop win rate (2nd)

According to @richcimini_espn, the two parties will strike an agreement in the $23 to $25 million APY area. This might surpass Simmons' contract ($23.5 million APY), making him the league's second-highest paid DT after Aaron Donald. Simmons earned a guaranteed salary of $47.8 million when he signed, so expect Quinnen to ask for something similar. It would surpass CJ Mosley's $43 million guarantee as the highest in Jets history.
