A Major Trade Candidate is Off the Board, but Vikings Have Several Defenders to Target

Well, the Vikings fans who were dreaming of Quinnen Williams will need to be comfortable with doing precisely that: dreaming. The Vikings have to pivot toward other options if the goal is to trade for an impact defender.

The Jets and the All-Pro DT have agreed to a monstrous extension, removing the chance of the Vikings swooping in for trade #16. Per Tom Pelissero, Williams has agreed to a humongous deal, one that tips the scales at 4 years and $96 million. Officially getting Williams back into the fold means the New York Jets will be an even more fascinating team for Hard Knocks.
