Leonard Williams To File Grievance Over Franchise Tag
5 years agoNew York Giants defensive lineman Leonard Williams has officially submitted his case to the NFL Players Association, who will file a grievance on his behalf over the franchise tag. Williams was tagged by the Giants and signed the tag, but he was designated as a defensive tackle by the team, whereas he argues he is a defensive end. The franchise tag for defensive tackles is worth $16.1 million this year, while the tag for a defensive end is worth $17.8 million. Williams spent the majority of his snaps on the interior in 2019, so it may ultimately be a losing battle.
