New York Jets linebacker Quincy Williams was once one of the team's most heartwarming development stories.
After getting released by the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Jets claimed Williams off waivers, reuniting him with his brother Quinnen Williams on the Jets defense. Robert Saleh and New York's coaching staff helped develop him into one of the league's top linebackers, earning a first-team All-Pro nod in 2023.
After playing out his three-year, $18 million contract, Williams is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and all signs point to the former third-round pick leaving New York.
The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt is reporting that a falling out with the coaching staff could be a major reason for the departure, even though defensive coordinator Steve Wilks is long gone at this point.
