Avery Williamson takes a pay cut

New York Jets linebacker Avery Williamson is slated to take a pay cut this season.

#Jets LB Avery Williamson recently agreed to a restructured contract worth $3.5M for this season, including $1M guaranteed, per source. Max $5M with incentives. The move saves New York $3M in cash and $3.75M in cap space.

Williamson's pay cut will free up $3.75 million for the team. Could this be an inkling that they are looking to sign someone else? Leonard Fournette, maybe?

Williamson should see a bigger role this season with linebacker CJ Mosley opting out of the 2020 NFL season.
