Things are not going well between Quinnen Williams and the Jets
While he has already decided to miss the voluntary activities of New York, Quinnen Williams (DT) is still up a level in his dispute with the Jets to obtain a new contract. The lineman has removed any reference to the club from his Twitter status.
His bio is now as follows:
“Defensive tackle for……”
His last message? A retweet of the announcement of the signing of a contract at 90 million dollars by Dexter Lawrence, his colleague from the Giants.
The message is clear. Williams will play the final year of his rookie contract in 2023 and he wants an extension.
Apart from Aaron Donald (Rams) who is well beyond the market, the league’s top players in the position earn between 22 and 24 million dollars a year.

“At the end of the day, Jonathan [Kraft, président] and I were chatting, and I said, ‘It’s been a great, great draft. I am very optimistic for the team. He replied ‘You say that every year!’. But I really mean it. We managed to select the seven top picks we had identified before the draft. I think they balance our needs well. Also, I think our open market recruiting and the return of Bill O’Brien is going to make a big difference,” the executive told ESPN.
Panthers: Bryce Young in reserve
Even if for his first steps with the Panthers Bryce Young (QB) made a good impression, the first overall pick of the draft will not be rushed to the head of the Carolina attack too quickly. According to Frank Reich (HC), Andy Dalton remains the holder and Young the understudy, in a padawan role. However, the young quarterback may be able to take more repetitions with the first team than the veteran in the end, in order to acclimatize more quickly to the professional level.
“When he’s ready, when it’s best for the team, then we’ll consider making the transition,” Reich told TheAthletic.com. “But when it comes to training on Monday, Andy will be taking calls with the first team. Brice will be with the substitutes. But Bryce will have a lot of rehearsals. He may even have more than Andy to practice. »

Because Jacksonville would have been in talks with Cincinnati to transfer the lineman to Florida.
In the end, the agreement was not made because the Tigers preferred to keep their lineman, and the Jaguars used their choice of the first round of draft on Anton Harrison (OT).
