Avery Williamson

Williamson is playing for his job. After tearing his ACL and missing the entire 2019 season, Williamson isn’t a sure bet to make the roster because of his injury, age and contract. The Jets would save $6.5 million by cutting Williamson before the season, but the team plans on letting him compete for the starting inside linebacker job.

The Jets have a plethora of linebackers on the roster who played admirably last season, so keeping Williamson at this point would be a luxury. But, if Williamson can show the Jets he’s their best option and that experience is king, he’ll prove his worth.
