NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Leonard Williams will still call MetLife Stadium home this week, just not as a member of the Jets.
The disappointing defensive lineman, who was selected No. 6 overall in the 2015 draft, was traded to the Giants on Monday for a third-round selection in 2020 and a conditional fifth-rounder in 2021, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported.
Williams is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent after the season. The Giants will pay $2 million of his $6 million salary.
More details: The 2021 5th-round pick that the Giants are trading to the Jets for Leonard Williams becomes a 4th-round pick if he signs a contract extension before the start of the league year, per source.
