Avery Williamson’s Explains Why He Joined the Jets

As soon as free agency began Avery Williamson agreed to terms with the New York Jets, at the time contract details were unclear but they have since been released.

Williamson bet on himself and turned down a 4-year $12 million extension from the Titans, wanting to see what his value was in an open market.

It was a good decision for Williamson’s bank account as he earned a 3-year contract worth $22,500,000 with $16 million guaranteed from the Jets. He received a $2,000,000 signing bonus and will receive a similar bonus at the start of the league year for the next two seasons.
