The Leonard Williams saga continues on day two of free agency.
While the Giants have already franchise tagged him, (a designation that would currently pay him $19.4 million for the 2021 season) the organization would prefer to eventually sign Williams to a long-term deal.
However, it doesn’t seem like either side is close to an agreement, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Williams reportedly is asking for “a lot more” than the aforementioned tag price when it comes to his annual salary.
The #Giants want to get a long-term deal with franchise tagged DL Leonard Williams, but there isn't much progress, per @MikeGarafolo.
