New York Giants: Franchise tag won’t justify the Leonard Williams trade

Error 0:

The New York Giants trade for Leonard Williams last October is still a head-scratcher even after franchise tagging him.

On Monday, the New York Giants executed the move that fans were expecting them to make. They ultimately decided to use their non-exclusive franchise tag on Leonard Williams. Big Blue originally traded for Williams in October 2019, prior to that season’s trade deadline.

Williams was slated to become a free agent when the new league year commences on Wednesday at 4:00 p.
