Newly acquired defensive lineman Leonard Williams will make his Giants debut Monday night against the Cowboys, and if New York has its way, the former Jet will be spending his future with the Giants as well.
The Giants would like to re-sign Williams, whose contract expires after this season, and are planning to open contract talks with him before Thanksgiving, sources tell ESPN.
Until then, the idea is for each side to get to know each other and assess how long they want their relationship to last.
The Giants traded for Williams with the idea to re-sign him, and even included a clause that turned the fifth-round pick they sent to the Jets into a fourth-rounder if they can consummate an extension with Williams before the league year begins in March.
