Jets DL Leonard Williams expected to sign his contract tonight. Sixth overall pick gets a four-year, $18.6m deal with $11.6m signing bonus. (per @MikeGarafolo)
Wilkerson must be pissed right now the guy who hasn't proven anything yet just made more money in one day then Wilkerson has his whole carrer
I hope I don't jinx the team by saying this, but I happen to be watching NFL Network when this story broke. All I could think about was that this is the type of thing one would expect to happen to the Jets, especially after Fowler was predicted to be taken in many mocks. I'm hoping all the bad luck this franchise has had over years is finally turning around.
I believe that it is. Our getting Williams in the draft is an example of that. That would have never happened to us with Tanny or Idzik. Tanny would have traded up to get him and Idzik would have taken Peat instead. I think Stokes said it best in a quote several days ago: "Luck is a result of when preparation meets opportunity." or something to that effect. I believe that with Bowles and Mac we will be prepared and seize those opportunities, thus our "luck" will vastly improve.
