A person with knowledge of the situation says New York Jets All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams is not attending the start of the team’s voluntary workouts while he seeks a contract extension. Williams is staying away from the team while the sides negotiate a potential new deal. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because teams don’t announce who doesn’t attend the voluntary offseason program. Williams’ absence Monday was expected after he said in January he wouldn’t participate without a new contract. NFL Network first reported Williams was not present Monday as the Jets began their offseason program.
