There are a number of lingering uncertainties surrounding the near future of the New York Giants defensive line. Both Leonard Williams and Dalvin Tomlinson — dominant pieces of what was a successful defensive unit last season — are set to be free agents. Given the on-field production of either, both will be requesting a lump sum of cash, Williams moreso than Tomlinson.
The Giants will certainly do what it takes to retain the pair of defensive weapons, whether they franchise tag Williams and sign Tomlinson to a long-term deal or vice versa.
