The New York Giants reportedly plan to discuss a new contract with defensive lineman Leonard Williams before Thanksgiving in hopes of locking up a long-term deal.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news, noting the Giants traded for Williams at the deadline in hopes of reaching a new contract. Williams, 25, is in the final year of his rookie contract and is slated to become an unrestricted free agent.
The Giants traded a 2020 third-round pick and a 2021 fifth-round pick in exchange for Williams earlier this month. The fifth-round pick becomes a fourth rounder if the Giants sign Williams to a new contract before the beginning of free agency.
