The New York Jets completed their second day of OTAs on Tuesday without All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, who has kept his promise to stay away from the NFL team’s offseason program until he gets a contract extension.

At his press conference on Tuesday, Jets coach Robert Saleh was asked when he expected the former Alabama All-American to join the team.

“I know they’re about to have a baby, which is awesome, Q,” Saleh said. “Good luck, brother. But I’m not worried at all. That thing will get done, and he’ll be here.”

Even if Williams had exactly the contract extension he wanted right now, he wouldn’t have to attend New York’s offseason workouts. They’re voluntary.

But the Jets are approaching the set of offseason practices that are not voluntary.

New York is in Phase 3 of its offseason program, during which teams are allowed to conduct 10 days of organized team practice activity, often referred to as OTAs. No live contact is permitted, but teams can expand their workouts to include 7-on-7, 9-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills. A three-day mandatory minicamp also can be held during this period.

The Jets’ mandatory minicamp is scheduled for June 13-15.

Players who fail to attend mandatory minicamp can be fined, but the team can choose not to.

The maximum fines for an unexcused absence from the mandatory portion of the offseason program are $16,459 for the first day, $32,920 for the second day and $49,374 for the third day for a total of $98,753 for missing all three days.

Williams is scheduled to play the 2023 season for $9.594 million after the Jets picked up their option for a fifth season on his rookie contract during the offseason last year. That would put Williams 22nd in pay among the NFL’s defensive tackles for the 2023 campaign.

At a postseason press conference, Williams said he wants to be with New York “for years to come” but wouldn’t report for the Jets’ offseason program until he got a contract extension.

Williams caused a stir earlier this month, when he changed his Twitter biography to read “Defensive tackle for …”

Williams also took to Twitter after New York general manager Joe Douglas said last month he was “still optimistic” about getting a contract extension worked out for the defensive tackle. Williams responded with a post that featured the word optimistic in quotes and a video of himself sipping tea.

Williams has retweeted a report on the New York Giants signing nose tackle Dexter Lawrence to a four-year, $90 million contract extension, too.

The third player picked in the 2019 NFL Draft, Williams finished second among the NFL’s defensive interior linemen with 12 sacks last season. The former Wenonah High School star also recorded career highs with 12 tackles for loss, 28 quarterback hits and four pass breakups and equaled career highs with 55 tackles, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
