Jets general manager Joe Douglas sounded optimistic Tuesday about reaching a contract extension with star defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.
The All-Pro is entering the final year of his rookie contract and said after the season he wants a new deal.
“We’ve had several good discussions with Nicole and Quinnen since the season,” Douglas said. “We feel really good about where we’re at. We feel good that this process is going to play out in the right way.” The offseason program does not begin until April, so there is still plenty of time for the sides to negotiate a deal.Williams is expected to be paid more than Giants defensive tackle Leonard Williams and Colts lineman DeForest Buckner, who both average $21 million per season. The top contract for an interior defensive lineman is Rams star Aaron Donald’s deal, which is about $32 million per year. The Jets surely won’t go near that number.
Douglas said the Jets are optimistic about Hall, Alijah Vera-Tucker and Mekhi Becton all returning.
