It’s been a great deal of “Leonard Williams this” and “Leonard Williams that” in regard to the Giants‘ offseason priorities, as it should be. He was one of the team’s top defensive playmakers, and although retaining him will be expensive, you need to pay for talent in this league.
But Williams isn’t the sole Giants defensive lineman whose contract is expiring. There’s additionally a chance Dalvin Tomlinson could be on his way to another team — one that may offer him a significant amount of money. Losing Williams would be losing talent, but losing Tomlinson would be losing arguably one of the more valuable pieces of the entire defensive unit, given his specific role as a productive nose tackle.
