Sources: Jets, star DT Quinnen Williams reach $96M deal

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets have locked up All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams with a four-year, $96 million contract extension that includes $66 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday.

It's the largest guarantee in franchise history, surpassing linebacker C.J. Mosley's $51 million as a free agent in 2019.

Williams, 25, who had one year remaining on his rookie contract, is now signed through the 2027 season.

The Jets announced Williams' extension on Thursday but did not disclose terms of the deal.

The extension makes Williams the NFL's second-highest-paid defensive tackle, based on average annual value.
