It looks like the Jets, for the second consecutive year, will not have their top draft pick on the scene when their rookies report for training camp.

Quinnen Williams, the defensive lineman from Alabama expected to make an immediate and profound impact, may not arrive at the Jets facility on Friday as rookies report. The Jets, according to NFL.com, were hoping Williams would be on a flight on Thursday into New Jersey, but that was not the case, leaving his attendance on the first day in question.

As the No. 3 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, there is not much, or any, leeway as far as what Williams will earn. He is slotted in for a four-year contract worth $32.4 million — all guaranteed — with $21.6 million coming in the form of a signing bonus. This salary was determined after the NFL set the 2019 salary cap at $188.2 million and, based off that number, set a rookie compensation pool. At times, players and their representation balk at off-set language contained in the contract, but the financial terms of the deal cannot be altered in any significant manner.

The Jets’ veterans report to camp on Wednesday; the first practice is Thursday. The Jets would like to get Williams, a projected starter, on the field as quickly as possible, allowing him to acclimate to the NFL game. It is not a huge deal if he misses a practice or two, but it is better if he does not, as far as him making as smooth a transition as possible.

This is familiar terrain for the Jets. A year ago, quarterback Sam Darnold — the No. 3 overall pick in 2018, taken one spot after the Giants selected running back Saquon Barkley — missed the first three practices of training camp as details of his contract were worked out. Darnold eventually arrived, signed his four-year, $30.3 million deal and was the opening-day starter.
