With nine minutes left in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s Jets-Jaguars game, Leonard Williams broke through the line and sacked Gardner Minshew for a 14-yard loss. Then, an official threw a flag for defensive holding on one of Williams’ teammates.
It was a fitting punctuation mark on Williams’ Jets career. He always seemed close to making a big impact, but it never quite worked out.
The Jets decided to move on Monday, trading Williams to the Giants for a third-round pick in 2020 and a fifth-round pick in 2021, according to a source.
