The New York Giants are tight on cap space with only $3.8 million remaining following a productive offseason. They could, however, clear cap space by adjusting the contract of star defensive lineman Leonard Williams. But according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, the Giants have shown “no interest” in extending or restructuring Williams’ contract.
How much money could the Giants save by extending Leonard Williams?
Extending Williams would create $13.4 million in cap savings for New York. Restructuring his contract would save $8.4 million against the cap. However, as Duggan points out, such actions would only “push more dead money onto next year’s cap.
