Jets trading Leonard Williams to rival Giants

The Jets are trading a former first-round pick — to the Giants, of all teams.

Leonard Williams is being dealt to the Giants for a 2020 third-round pick and a 2021 fifth-round pick, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Williams, 25, was the No. 6 overall pick by the Jets in the 2015 NFL Draft. The 2016 Pro Bowler has 17 sacks in 71 career games, but he has yet to record a sack in seven games this season.
