Quinnen Williams scrubs Jets from his Twitter page

Social media has become a tool for sending messages. And Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams has sent a pointed one to his current team.

Williams has removed any reference to the Jets from his Twitter page. After the title “Defensive Tackle for,” there is now a stream of periods.

 

The move comes at a time when Williams is boycotting voluntary offseason workouts as he tries to get a new deal. Recent reports have suggested that a major gap remains between the parties’ positions.

The defensive tackle market currently has Aaron Donald of the Rams far and away above the others, at $31.667 million annually. More than $8 million per year below Donald is Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, at $23.5 million. Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne and Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence are next, at $22.5 million.

So where does Williams want to land in the gap between Simmons and Donald? That’s likely the issue between the Jets and Williams. And, currently, Williams is making it clear he’s not happy with where things stand.

It would be such a shame if he isn't out there on 9/11

Yup hopefully he a a long hold out. ✅

[NewEra]

I think they’ll get a deal done. I’m thinking he’ll get 25/26m.

I know this is common practice for disgruntled NFL players, but it feels very middle school-ish to me.

He'll sign with Jets. Negotiating tactic I'm sure.

Great news.  He’s one of the league’s best and deserves what he’s asking for.  But the jets have no money left, especially for 2024 I hear.

That’s a huge number but he is an incredible player. What would an Ed Oliver deal look like? Let’s hope nothing close to that.

Dov Kleiman on Twitter: "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… https://t.co/cHVY4npXxW" / Twitter

Depends how Ed plays in 2023.  
 

Based on last season play-  I think 12-16M
 

I expect him to play better this year and likely play himself out of Buffalo

Well let’s hope he has the season of his life next year. No way we can afford anything near $20m. He can walk and we get a comp pick I guess.

Well Beane, pick up the phone and your problem of no DT's under contract in 2024 can be solved😎

*Whispers..... Ed Oliver + 1st 

*Hears.....Shouting from TBD Posters  "CAP! CAP! CAP!"

Beane, make it happen!!!

Being honest, I totally read this as some crazy political thing! 😞 9/11 is also my birthday.

 

and social media might be the dumbest thing ever. Players do this because they are mad, then they get paid, and talk about how they never wanted to leave. He will be out there. Such much desperate attention seeking.

It really might be more sophisticated than that... I'm sure the pr/marketing/social media depts have metrics around engagement of social media posts (and I'm sure agents have that as well, as do media companies).

 

Imagine Russ Brandon still running the team and there not being a wall between football ops and organizational ops... there's gotta be a better reason that players do that than to just publicly apply pressure, but I'm also a data analyst who people sometimes say has a utopian view of the way business should be run and this to me is perfect for trying to collect data to show the value of a player off the field as well and get places like espn to pick up the story because they see the engagement data of their audience with that social media scrubbing.

They’re 41M in the red for 2024.  It’s possible, but I’d love to see them take on another +$20M contract.  Jets have swung for the fences and are going to have to get very creative the next few years with their cap.

I knew he'd be demanding a huge new contract.  Hold out for it, Q!

Just like every contender that pays their QB.  It’ll be a challenge for sure but definitely possible.  
 

if they don’t sign him, good.  Hopefully an NFC team will pay him.  He just strikes me as a guy that Saleh needs and wants for his defense 

[Warriorspikes51]

send him to a non-contending team in the NFC please and thank you 

[DrDawkinstein]

I wouldnt even call this a negotiating tactic. It literally does nothing. It is completely meaningless.

 

It's really more a PR move for the player to save face with the fans, and make it look like "hey, I want  to stay, but the team doesnt want me, so not my fault if I leave". Even though it takes both sides and the player could take the offer on the table at any time.

No other team traded for a $50M AAV player and rolled 90% of their salary to the next year.  Rodgers counts for more than $100M next year.  Cap wise, the Jets are in the worst shape of any team for 2024.

And he will be 41... so not like you want to extend and lower the hit.

[Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD]

Quinnen Williams is definitely underpaid after playing great last season, but I bet the Jets will try to keep him on his current deal and franchise tag him next season.

 

The Jets have a bunch of overpaid guys like CJ Mosley, Corey Davis, and Duane Brown that will make it hard to resign any of their star players after adding Aaron Rodgers.

Exactly, it’s a very bold win now move.  They could extend to tack on ghost years to spread the cap hit but that would be unwise as well.

I'm sure you're right.  But I think it does the total opposite of what players intend.

It makes them look selfish, greedy and more about their paycheck than team-players.

 

Above all, fans care about the team winning.  They are worried about the 2023 schedule.  Not their defensive tackle's financial security.  To the general public, Quinnen Williams is still under contract for another season.  But he now gives the impression that he's moving on mentally and not dedicated to the Jets, because he wants his big contract RIGHT NOW. 

 

Fans are OK with the Jets pitching low-ball offers early in the negotiation process, because a favorable contract is to the overall TEAM'S benefit.  Now if the Jets drag their feet and ultimately let Williams become a Free Agent next season (and as a result, hurting the team)...that's when the front office becomes the bad guy and fans start turning against them.

Pay Quinnen and trade ARod to Denver.  I mean this is the Jets.

Yea their only option really is dummy years. They have to at least make a Superbowl I think while he is there to consider this a true success.

I don't know what I hate more, that the players do this or that it seems to work.  

 

It's so childish to me.  What do you think is going to happen, the media or fans are going to pressure the GM into giving you more money than they can?  It's okay to want a contract for your value, but do it like an adult.

I act childish for free, giving me 80 million more reasons to do it wouldn’t be an inhibitor.
