Classy move by the Giants led to the Defensive Lineman landing with some former teammates.
A cool story emerged this week in regards to the Seattle Seahawks’ deal with the New York Giants for DT Leonard Williams. In his first press conference with the Seattle Media, Williams admitted that Giants GM Joe Schoen engaged in the negotiations while remaining in conversation with Williams. “The way it was proposed to me through and with my agents was a respectful way I think,” Williams said. “I’ve been traded before and it was very abruptly and I kind of had no say or anything like that.
In contrast, Schoen was very forthright with Williams, admitting there was some good interest from a few contenders, and even admitting that he valued the handful of connections Williams has with some of the Seahawks folks. This is objectively a kind thing to do, and I have no idea if the Giants are ever going to be relevant anytime soon, but it gives the impression that organizationally they might not be among the bottom-feeder franchises of the NFL.
