The Jets remain engaged in a contract standoff with first-round draft pick Quinnen Williams, who as a result may miss the beginning of training camp.
The sides, according to sources, are haggling over the schedule for payment of Williams’ signing bonus, which is about $21.7 million. Williams would like to receive all of that by the end of this year. The Jets are trying to defer some of it into 2020.
The Jets are asking Williams to take a higher percentage of deferred money than any of their first-round picks from the past nine years and a higher percentage than all but one player who was selected in the top 10 this year and already has signed.
