NY Giants, Leonard Williams saga comes to an end for now

As I’ve been saying, if the NY Giants don’t sign Leonard Williams to a contract extension before free agency, this trade becomes even more of an abject failure than it already has been. From the beginning, it was clear to anyone with a brain that giving up draft picks for an impending free agent ceded all the power to said free agent, and they’d have to be crazy not to extract every dollar possible.

It looks like Leonard Williams’ agent got that memo, as the two sides were unable to reach an agreement and he was slapped with the franchise tag on Monday morning.
