NY Giants GM Dave Gettleman admits there is regret over how Dalvin Tomlinson’s situation was handled, explains why Leonard Williams was a priority

The NY Giants signed defensive end Leonard Williams to a long-term extension, after initially using the franchise tag on him for the second consecutive offseason, in a decision that GM Dave Gettleman admits wasn’t an easy one.

“Dalvin is a wonderful young man and he was a captain, so obviously there’s regret,” Gettleman said Tuesday.
