The New York Jets averted a major problem on Thursday when they re-signed star defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.
The contract is four years for $96 million, with $66 million guaranteed.
Quinnen Williams now is the first Jets’ player selected in round one to sign a second contract with the organization since Muhammad Wilkerson, whom they picked in 2011.
No Jets players selected in the first round from 2012-2018 had signed second contracts with the team.
