Leonard Williams needs huge season for future contract

When it comes to defensive end Leonard Williams, he’s all about football, making an impact, and leading by example. Despite coming off a lackluster season, Williams has the potential to be an anchor on the New York Jets defensive line for many years to come.

How many years? Your guess is as good as mine but it’s expected that the Jets will likely address his contract extension in 2019. It’s no secret that the Jets believe Williams can be a centerpiece on defense but they’re also likely wary about shelling out a plethora of money unless they’re certain he’s going to continue being an impact player in the future.
