(CBS New York)– NFL free agency started Monday and the New York Giants made sure that defensive lineman Leonard Williams won’t get a chance to test the market.
The Giants released a statement that they used their franchise tag on the defensive lineman. The team acquired Williams from the Jets on October 28, 2019 for a 2020 third round pick and a 2021 fifth round pick.
The fifth round pick in 2021 the Giants traded to the Jets would turn into a fourth round pick if Williams and the team agree to a long term deal.
