Leonard Williams was the sixth overall pick of the New York Jets in the 2015 NFL Draft, but after a trade in the middle of the 2019 season, Williams will enter his fifth season with the New York Giants in 2023.

Leonard Williams Salary

The 28-year-old defensive tackle will earn an $18 million salary in 2023. He signed a three-year extension with the Giants in the middle of the 2021 season valued at $63 million, $21 million annually. The deal included $45 million guaranteed.

After restructure in 2022, Williams’s third year of his contract was voided, making him a free agent in spring 2024.

Leonard Williams Cap Hit

Williams will have a cap hit of $32,260,000 in 2023 with a dead cap value of $20,220,000 if he were to be cut.

Leonard Williams Potential Extension

In an expensive defensive tackle market, with the Giants also needing to pay top dollar to extend Dexter Lawrence, Williams feels expendable for the Giants after 2023. The void year clarifies that, but Williams is still a valuable player and other teams could be interested.
