Leonard Williams or Dalvin Tomlinson?
The choice wasn’t even close, as Williams himself proved with the best season of his career in 2020. The outcome of the last two days was therefore no surprise, with Tomlinson going to the Vikings on a modest two-year, $22 million free-agent deal and Williams staying put.
The better news: The Giants weren’t hamstrung for a long period of time by Williams’ onerous $19 million salary cap hit as the team’s franchise designation.
