EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- With a big paycheck comes even bigger responsibility.
That has never been more evident than with New York Giants defensive lineman Leonard Williams. He is the highest-paid player on the team after signing a three-year, $63 million deal this offseason that included $45 million in guaranteed money -- the fourth most ever given to a Giants player. Yet, he has been invisible for long stretches in the first five games.
Williams is pocketing a team-high $26 million this year, well ahead of bigger names such as quarterback Daniel Jones and running back Saquon Barkley.
