The New York Giants placed the franchise tag on defensive tackle Leonard Williams on Monday.
The 25-year-old former first-round pick will earn an estimated $16.1 million under the tag in 2020.
The Giants acquired Williams from the New York Jets last Oct. 28 in exchange for a third-round pick in 2020 and a conditional fifth-rounder in 2021.
In 2019, Williams had 26 tackles and a half-sack in eight games with the Giants after tallying 20 tackles in seven contests with the Jets.
The sixth overall selection in the 2015 NFL Draft, Williams made the Pro Bowl in 2016 and has posted 266 tackles, 17.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and one interception in 79 career games.
