The New York Giants traded defensive lineman Leonard Williams to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday.
Dave Gettleman, in a wide-ranging talk with reporters, says the Giants are making progress in many areas but he is "not good enough" as GM. "It will get better," he says.
The Giants would like to re-sign Leonard Williams, whose contract expires after this season, and are planning to open contract talks with him before Thanksgiving, sources tell ESPN.
Giants GM Dave Gettleman said Leonard Williams is "a piece you can build around" and wants to sign the lineman, who they acquired in a trade with the Jets, to a long-term deal.
Defensive lineman Leonard Williams is headed to the New York Giants. Running back Kenyan Drake is going to Arizona. Bill Barnwell grades the deals.
The Jets are starting to rebuild, sending defensive lineman Leonard Williams to the Giants for a third-round draft pick in 2020 and a conditional pick in 2021.
