Overview
- Multiple outlets report teams have inquired about the All-Pro defensive tackle, with The Athletic describing the Jets’ price as “massive.”
- SNY’s Connor Hughes says a well-connected source believes New York could accept a second-round pick due to minimal guarantees left on Williams’ deal.
- Hughes also reports the Jets rejected Williams’ requests to add guarantees, with outside perceptions suggesting he may be unhappy, though that remains unconfirmed.
- Williams is on a four-year, $96 million extension signed in 2023, and a trade has been reported to free about $16.6 million in cap space with roughly $4.9 million in dead money.
- Coverage characterizes a deal before the Nov. 4 deadline as unlikely yet possible if a team meets the Jets’ valuation or if leverage shifts.
