Which means of the $10M remaining that Williams is due over the ultimate ten weeks of the 2023 season, New York is paying roughly $9.353M whereas the Seahawks shall be accountable for just a little greater than $647k.
New Seahawks DL Leonard Williams has $10 million due for the remainder of 2023. Seattle will solely be accountable for the prorated veteran minimal, with the Giants changing the remainder to a signing bonus and selecting that up pre-trade, sources say.
