Here are the 5 highest paid NY Giants entering the 2021 NFL season
By Carly Mersky
No. 2: DE Leonard Williams
Terms: 3 years, $63,000,000
Expires: 2024
Williams had a career-high season in 2020 and deserves every penny he gets. He had 29 solo tackles and 11.5 sacks which was 7th most in the league. The challenge for Williams this season is to replicate his dominance up front.

A key piece to this NY Giants’ defense, at least so far, Williams has lived up to what he makes.
