Williams agreed to a three-year, $18 million contract with the Jets on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Williams was slated to become an unrestricted free agent this week, but he'll instead remain in New York. The 26-year-old has recorded back-to-back seasons with 100-plus tackles since joining the Jets, and he logged 106 tackles (74 solo), including three sacks, and a pass defense over 15 appearances last year.
Williams finished the 2022 campaign with 106 tackles (74 solo), three sacks, 12 tackles for loss and one pass defensed.
What Williams lacks in coverage ability, he makes up for in stopping the run, as the 2019 third-round draft selection of the Jaguars has racked up 216 tackles in 31 games since being claimed on waivers by the Jets. Quincy will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, though his preference is to remain in New York alongside his brother Quinnen Williams.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Ten tackles against former team
Rotowire
Williams had 10 tackles (six solo) -- including one tackle for loss -- in Thursday's 19-3 loss to the Jaguars.
Williams posted his second double-digit tackle total of the season. He needs 24 tackles over the Jets' last two games to tie last season's career high of 110, so the former third-round draft pick of the Jaguars appears likely to fall just shy of that total.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Good to go Week 12
Rotowire
Williams (ankle) was a full participant in practice Friday and does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Williams exited with an ankle injury during Sunday's loss to the Patriots, causing him to play a season-low 68 percent of his team's defensive snaps Week 11. The linebacker then participated in a limited fashion during practice Wednesday and Thursday before logging a full session Friday. As a result, expect Williams, who has accumulated 55 tackles and two sacks over eight games this season, to reprise a starting role against Chicago in Week 12.

Williams totaled 11 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Dolphins.
Williams is closing in on the 100-tackle mark this season.
