The #Cowboys were other team in on Williams, sources told me yesterday, but backed out after adding Bennett.
Giants wanted Williams, but holdup was money. NYG didn’t have cap to add his contract.

Defensive line is one position that Jets are deep at, so it was unlikely that the team was going to resign Williams. Solid against the run he never delivered the sack numbers that are expected when you are the 6th overall pick (2015 draft). Williams has 17 sacks through 5 seasons, none this year.
