Worst Free NFL Agency Hires in 2021

When the Giants put the franchise’s brand on striker Leonard Williams, the team was in danger for $ 19,351 million, as it was the second season in a row that the team did this. But the idea has always been to get a long-term deal, as putting more than 10% of your salary cap on a defensive lineman is not the ideal scenario. Then, on Tuesday, the Giants made it official, signing a three-year, $ 63 million contract with Williams, with an incredible $ 45 million guaranteed.

Williams has a tolerable limit of $ 11 million reached in 2021, but that increases to $ 26.5 million in 2022, and then stabilizes to $ 25.5 million in 2022. If Williams regresses, the Giants will not be able to leave business until the third year; the dead money reached in 2021 was $ 45 million, and is still $ 34 million in 2022. The guaranteed money is the fifth largest among self-defense attackers, behind only Aaron Donald, Fletcher Cox, Chris Jones and DeForest Buckner . Very generous. The good news is that Williams proved last season that he fits the defensive concepts of the Giants perfectly.

If Williams had been selected somewhere in the middle of the first round, as opposed to overall sixth place by the Jets in the 2015 draft, there might have been a more impartial assessment of his time with Gang Green. Although he never proved to be the type of player who would deserve this type of draft capital, he had a legitimate Pro Bowl season in 2016 with seven sacks, 55 pressures and 48 stops as a hybrid player who alternated between tackle and final in 6 5-feet and 302 pounds.
