chrisfaceoff Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Good luck with that one Leo. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Giants "aren't close" on an extension with free agent DL Leonard Williams. The Giants have looked unwilling to meet Williams' asking price to this point, which is expected to be at least $15 million annually. With talks not progressing, franchising Williams remains a possibility, but there's now a chance they let him hit the open market. After giving up third and fifth-round picks for Williams, it would be a letdown if the Giants didn't get something done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001105577/article/giants-not-close-to-extension-with-dl-leonard-williams Giants not close to extension with DL Leonard Williams Print By Kevin Patra Around the NFL Writer Published: March 9, 2020 at 10:37 a.m. Updated: March 9, 2020 at 10:47 a.m. With the franchise tag deadline coming Thursday, several teams will be making crucial decisions this week. One of those teams pondering using the tag is the New York Giants, who could place the franchise tender on defensive lineman Leonard Williams. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday that Williams and the Giants are not close on a contract extension, per sources informed of the situation. Rapoport added that the tag is a possibility for Williams, but New York could also let him hit the market. Big Blue acquired Williams in a trade-deadline deal with the New York Jets in exchange for a third-round pick and a conditional 2021 fifth-rounder that becomes a fourth if the Giants re-sign Williams before the start of the new league year. The conditional aspect of the trade could play into the Giants' decision with Williams this week. In eight games with Big Blue in 2019, Williams compiled 26 tackles, half a sack and two passes defended. Giants general manager Dave Gettleman frequently defended his decision to trade for a player set to be a free agent, noting the team wanted to get an up-close look at the player once in the building. With a new coach Joe Judge in New York, it's unclear how Williams might fit in defensive coordinator Patrick Graham's system. Rapoport noted that Williams is expected to have a strong market. The franchise tag could be a mechanism for keeping the former first-round pick in New York if the Giants want an extended look without a long-term commitment. The deadline for teams to use the franchise tag is Thursday at 4 p.m. ET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 If the Giants tag Leo, then don't come to terms on a new deal until after the league year begins, we still only get a 5th correct? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo's agent" If you didn't suck so much, I could get you the deal you want. You know.. a sack?

Wonderboy Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I wouldn’t give him 15M for the next 3 years let alone 15M per year. He and Trent Williams can work out together while they sit out the year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Harper Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I wouldn't even consider tagging this guy, even after giving up too much for him. You don't need to pay 15 mil plus for run-stuffers. But Gettleman is on increasingly thin ice so will probably do it and continue to pretend that he is a top level DL. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section314 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 When you've given up the 4th pick in the 3rd rd, does it really matter if the additional compensation is a 4th or 5th? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great players are great for a reason. Leo did not have a good work ethic, that's all on him, not other players. As far him being a "good" player, I would argue that he was just an average player. Look at his stats. He was just another BPA that fell to us because other teams actually knew he wasn't, and of course our buffoon GM couldn't resist. If he wants 15 million a year he is going to be greatly disappointed. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wants 15 million a year he is going to be greatly disappointed. i know i've come around quite a bit on leo. his main sin was being picked so highly and then not playing to his draft position on the field. but he sure didn't seem to have the drive that the better players have. i don't know if i'd call him an average player although he has been falling off each year. but he can ask for whatever he thinks he's worth and the giaints can counter offer what they think he's worth. maybe they meet in the middle maybe not. above average players still aren't worth 15 million per year.

CurtMart Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 $15mil a year? I mean, why? To save a 5th from becoming a 4th? F*** that. If I was the Giants, I’d let him test the FA. He’s worth maybe $10. Yeah, $10. Not $10mil, but $10. He’s worth a case of Corona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MS jets Fan Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Not even close to $15 Mil a year. Let him walk. I liked Leo but he is not a sack guy he is a pressure guy. He does rack up QB pressures but that’s not worth $15 mil a year. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
