EDGE Analysis

Williams recorded one tackle before leaving Week 14 early with an elbow injury. The veteran defensive lineman returned to the sidelines with a brace and uniform on but wasn't allowed back into the game.

Williams totaled six tackles (one solo) and 1.5 sacks during the Giants' Week 7 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

After recording just one sack through the first four games of the season, Williams has 3.5 sacks over his last three contests. The 27-year-old defensive end finished last season with a career-high 11.5 sacks, and if he continues on this trajectory, he may be able to top that number during the 2021 campaign. Williams has another advantageous matchup in Week 8, as the Giants' take on the Chiefs, who gave up four sacks to the Titans in their last matchup.

EDGE Analysis

Williams is signing a three-year, $63 million contract with the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants franchise-tagged Williams for a second straight offseason but this time managed to work out a multi-year deal. The 2015 first-round pick will turn 27 this summer, coming off a 2020 campaign with career highs for pressures (42), QB hits (30) and sacks (11.5). Williams will turn 27 in June and has missed just one game through six pro seasons.

The Giants placed the franchise tag on Williams for the 2021 season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The two sides will continue to work toward a long-term deal. It's expected that they'll reach an agreement before the season begins, especially because Williams would make $19.36 million under the franchise tag in 2021, a number that the Giants would struggle to afford. Williams enjoyed a career year in 2020, recording 57 tackles, 11.5 sacks, 30 QB hits and a pass breakup over 16 games.
