Leonard Williams A Candidate For Franchise Tag
5 years agoThe New York Giants and defensive end Leonard Williams are not close to a contract extension and Williams will have a strong market if he reaches the open market, according to sources, so the pass-rusher is a candidate for the franchise tag. The 25-year-old former first-round pick had just half a sack in eight games for the Giants after coming over from the Jets in 2019. Williams has 17.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and one interception five NFL seasons. The production has been lacking, but Williams still has plenty of potential and the Giants are in need of a pass rush.
