The bulk of the Jets optimism is driven by Joe Douglas’ NFL draft moves as general manager. But one of Mike Maccagnan’s final acts as GM also factors into their long-term plans.
ESPN national reporter Jeremy Fowler expects the Jets will look to lock down defensive tackle Quinnen Williams sooner rather than later. He writes:
Williams can wreck a game plan, and he proved to be a good fit for Robert Saleh’s defense. He posted six sacks and three pass deflections last year. The Jets will likely start to look at extension options for the 303-pound defensive tackle.
