Episode Synopsis

Aside from long snapper Thomas Hennessy, defensive tackle Quinnen Williams is the longest tenured New York Jet remaining as the new front office and coaching staff arrive at One Jets Drive.Entering the prime of his career at age 27, Williams was a Pro Bowler in 2024 by reputation more than performance: he had half as many sacks as his All-Pro season in 2022, and the Jets could hardly stop the run even with the former All-American lined up over center. Pro Football Focus ranked Williams as the 28th-best interior defender last season after being in the Top 5 in both 2022 and 2023. To sum up, the highest-paid player on the team just turned in his worst season since his rookie campaign. Counselors Richard and Walz plead their respective cases in front of the Honorable JudgeTravis Reed, trombone extraordinaire and American football savant, to determine if the decline of Quinnen Williams right after earning a whopper contract is Same Old Jets? or just a fluke.
