The New York Jets have been one of the most active teams this offseason.
They recently completed the deal that everyone was waiting on by acquiring Aaron Rodgers.
Now the Jets are expected to be in Super Bowl contention next season.
One reason for that is because of their defense.
Last season, the Jets had one of the best defenses in the NFL.
But, due to their awful quarterback play, they were only able to win seven games.
One of the key forces on that defense is Quinnen Williams.
He is one of the best defensive linemen in football and is looking for a new contract.
According to Jets Videos on Twitter, GM Joe Douglas is “optimistic and hopeful” a deal will get done.

This is an extension that the Jets have to get done.
Williams is too important to their defense to let him leave.
Also, now that the Jets have Rodgers they are in win-now mode.
They need to do everything possible to build the best roster they can around Rodgers.
Also, Williams is still a young player.
He is only 25 years old and has established himself as a cornerstone of the Jets’ defense.
While the Jets have struggled to draft the right quarterback, they have done well drafting other positions.
Last year, they picked Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner in the first round, and both won Rookie of the Year awards.
If the Jets continue drafting like that, this team will surely be a contender in the AFC.
