Gotta be a funny situation for a player to be traded and not have to worry about changing anything up in his life in terms of moving.

Not sure why the Giants are giving up 3rd round picks for rentals...

They are either confident they can re-sign him, complete idiots, or both.

They can franchise tag him, but given how recent tagged players respond to it, it's never a good relationship once that happens.

Sounds like they are committed to signing him to an extension. Need help on the DL. Plus should have cap space when they say goodbye to Eli Manning.

Compensation wise, most likely Williams would have signed a contract worth a 3rd round compensatory pick. But, again with all comp picks, it's not guaranteed. Depends on whether the Jets dip into free agency this off-season, which I think we expect them to. So, this guarantees that they get their 3rd round pick, and it will be both much higher and a year earlier than a comp pick in 2021. Looking at something around the late 60's to early 70's vs something close to pick 100, plus the 5th which can become a 4th.

The Giants' defense is horrible and the need is there, so in the spirit of addressing a need it makes sense.

The problem is that no 2-6 team should be in the business of moving 3rd round picks for rentals even in that human dump of a division so if they can't sign him it's throwing a 3rd round pick+ away for absolutely nothing.
