Quinnen Williams Trade Buzz Intensifies as Jets Field Major Offers
The NFL trade deadline always brings chaos, but few stories have sparked as much curiosity as the situation surrounding New York Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams . Over the past few days, his name has been circulating heavily in league circles, and it’s becoming clear that several teams are calling the Jets to see if the star lineman might actually be available.
According to multiple reports, including from SNY’s Connor Hughes and The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt , the Jets’ front office has been active in trade discussions following the surprising deal that sent cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts. That move alone raised eyebrows across the league, signaling that the Jets may be more open to change than anyone expected. Naturally, other teams immediately started checking in on who might be next—and Quinnen Williams’ name is now at the center of that conversation.

Williams, one of the league’s most dominant defensive tackles, is reportedly drawing serious interest. While the Jets have publicly maintained that it would take an offer they can’t refuse to part with him, insiders say the team’s stance may be softening. Just a few days ago, the asking price was described as “exorbitant,” but now, whispers suggest the Jets might be more flexible if a team is willing to offer something close to what they received for Gardner—a deal that included significant draft capital.
Teams are said to be exploring multiple defensive and offensive options ahead of the deadline, with the Bills, Dolphins, and Patriots all active in various trade talks. For New York, though, the focus seems to be on reshaping the roster rather than making short-term additions. The team has already fielded second-round offers for Jermaine Johnson , and there’s reportedly a market developing for Breece Hall as well. But Williams remains the centerpiece—his talent, leadership, and impact on the defensive line make him a rare asset that’s difficult to replace.
FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer has added fuel to the speculation, suggesting that the Jets may still have “more moves up their sleeves.” With the deadline fast approaching, the sense around the league is that the Jets are at least listening , even if they’re not outright shopping Williams.
If a blockbuster move does happen, it would mark a significant turning point for the Jets’ future—signaling a commitment to rebuilding around younger, cheaper talent and a fresh direction under new leadership. For now, though, the league watches closely. Quinnen Williams may stay put, but as trade talks heat up, the idea of him wearing a different jersey no longer feels impossible.
