New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman told season ticket holders in a letter that the team wants to sign recently acquired defensive lineman Leonard Williams to a multiyear deal before his contract runs out at the end of the season.
The Giants obtained Williams from the rival Jets on Monday on the eve of the NFL trading deadline for a third-round draft choice in 2020 and a conditional fifth-round choice in 2021. Williams was the sixth overall draft pick in 2015.
"We gave up a three and a five,'' Gettleman said in the message to the ticket holders.
