Current Contract
At the time of signing, Quinnen Williams' 4 year, $96M extension was the 2nd highest average paid defensive tackle in NFL history ($24M), and his $66M of practical guarantees is the most ever handed out by the New York Jets organization. Williams, 25, was set to play out a $9.59M 5th-year option in 2023 before the agreement, but is now signed through the 2027 season. The Jets freed up $3.15M of cap space by extending Williams out of the option salary.
The deal includes $47.835M guaranteed at signing, with another $15.509M becoming fully guaranteed in March of 2025. This $63.3M represents the practical portion of the contract, through the 2025 season.Contract: 4 yr(s) / $96,000,000 Signing Bonus $24,500,000 Average Salary $24,000,000 Total Guarantees $66,000,000 Guaranteed at Signing $47,835,000 Free Agent: 2028 / UFA Bonus Breakdown Cap Details Cash Details Year Age Base Salary Signing Roster/Gm Cap Hit Dead Cap Yearly Cash Cash AAV 2023 26 $1,094,000 $4,900,000 $441,165 $6,435,165 $47,835,000 $26,094,000($26,094,000) $26,094,000 Pre-6/1 Release 2023 Dead Cap: $47,835,000 2023 Cap Savings: $-41,399,835 Pre-6/1 Trade 2023 Dead Cap: $24,500,000 2023 Cap Savings: $-18,064,835 Post-6/1 Release 2023 Dead Cap: $28,235,000 2024 Dead Cap: $19,600,000 2023 Cap Savings: $-21,799,835 Post-6/1 Trade 2023 Dead Cap: $4,900,000 2024 Dead Cap: $19,600,000 2023 Cap Savings: $1,535,165 2024 27 $14,400,000 $4,900,000 $1,100,000 $20,400,000 $41,341,000 $15,500,000($41,594,000) $20,797,000 Pre-6/1 Release 2024 Dead Cap: $41,341,000 2024 Cap Savings: $-20,941,000 Pre-6/1 Trade 2024 Dead Cap: $19,600,000 2024 Cap Savings: $800,000 Post-6/1 Release 2024 Dead Cap: $26,641,000 2025 Dead Cap: $14,700,000 2024 Cap Savings: $-6,241,000 Post-6/1 Trade 2024 Dead Cap: $4,900,000 2025 Dead Cap: $14,700,000 2024 Cap Savings: $15,500,000 2025 28 $15,650,000 $4,900,000 $1,100,000 $21,650,000 $20,941,000 $16,750,000($58,344,000) $19,448,000 Pre-6/1 Release 2025 Dead Cap: $20,941,000 2025 Cap Savings: $709,000 Pre-6/1 Trade 2025 Dead Cap: $14,700,000 2025 Cap Savings: $6,950,000 Post-6/1 Release 2025 Dead Cap: $16,141,000 2026 Dead Cap: $9,800,000 2025 Cap Savings: $5,509,000 Post-6/1 Trade 2025 Dead Cap: $9,900,000 2026 Dead Cap: $9,800,000 2025 Cap Savings: $11,750,000 2026 29 $20,750,000 $4,900,000 $1,000,000 $26,650,000 $9,800,000 $21,750,000($80,094,000) $20,023,500 Pre-6/1 Release 2026 Dead Cap: $9,800,000 2026 Cap Savings: $16,850,000 Pre-6/1 Trade 2026 Dead Cap: $9,800,000 2026 Cap Savings: $16,850,000 Post-6/1 Release 2026 Dead Cap: $4,900,000 2027 Dead Cap: $4,900,000 2026 Cap Savings: $21,750,000 Post-6/1 Trade 2026 Dead Cap: $4,900,000 2027 Dead Cap: $4,900,000 2026 Cap Savings: $21,750,000 2027 30 $25,400,000 $4,900,000 $100,000 $30,400,000 $4,900,000 $25,500,000($105,594,000) $21,118,800 Pre-6/1 Release 2027 Dead Cap: $4,900,000 2027 Cap Savings: $25,500,000 Pre-6/1 Trade 2027 Dead Cap: $4,900,000 2027 Cap Savings: $25,500,000 Post-6/1 Release 2027 Dead Cap: $4,900,000 2028 Dead Cap: $0 2027 Cap Savings: $25,500,000 Post-6/1 Trade 2027 Dead Cap: $4,900,000 2028 Dead Cap: $0 2027 Cap Savings: $25,500,000 2028 31 UFA Contract Notes:- $47.835M guaranteed at signing (signing bonus + 2023 compensation + 2024 compensation + $6.241M of 2025 salary)
