Just when you thought the thick of free agency was over for the NY Giants, a few people in the media have begun circulating a wild idea for Dave Gettleman to consider. The base of the idea involves pulling the $16.1 franchise tag off his prize possession, Leonard Williams, and re-investing that money into a player on the free agency market that hasn’t found the deal they’ve been looking for.
The idea sounds crazy at first glance – and it is – but it becomes more possible when you consider that Dave Gettleman has already pulled the franchise tag from a player before with Josh Norman in 2016.
