New York Giants acquire Jets DL Leonard Williams for 3rd, 5th round picks (Report)

It seems like Big Blue is addressing its defensive line issue ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the New York Giants have traded for New York Jets defensive lineman Leonard Williams.

The 2016 Pro Bowler was sent over to the Giants for a third-round pick in the 2020 draft and a fifth-round pick in the 2021 draft. The fifth-rounder, however, has the potential to become a fourth-rounder if he signs an extension prior to the league year.

Trade: Jets traded Leonard Williams to Giants for a 3 this year and a 5 in 2021, per source.
