This comes after he was franchise tagged by the club last season.
Williams was acquired by the Giants in a trade with the New York Jets in October of 2019 in exchange for a 2020 third-round pick and a 2021 conditional fifth-round pick.
Williams recorded 11.5 sacks and 57 combined tackles last season, his sixth in the NFL. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2016.
The 26-year-old Bakersfield, Calif., native was selected No. 6 overall in the 2015 NFL Draft out of USC.
