Back in October, the New York Giants (for some odd reason) took it upon themselves to trade for then-New York Jets defensive lineman Leonard Williams. In a deal near the deadline, Big Blue gave their crosstown rivals a pair of draft picks (2020 third-round and 2021 fifth-round) for Williams, a man who really hadn’t been a standout player since his 2016 Pro Bowl campaign.
It was a questionable move, and with the latest news, the deal may have actually become even worse.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Giants and Williams plan to play out the franchise tag the organization placed on him in March.
