The Giants are expected to be players for some of the top defensive ends in free agency, but Mario Williams reportedly won’t be one of them.

Williams was expected to visit the Giants early this week, but the plans never came together and it looks like the team will be moving on to other options. Jordan Raanan of NJ.com reports that Williams is “not in play” for the Giants and that Williams’ asking price, believed to be in the $10 million range, may be more than they’d like to spend.

Williams visited with the Dolphins over the weekend and is also expected to draw interest from the Jaguars, who, like the Giants, have a need to upgrade their defense and ample cap space at their disposal this offseason.

Per a variety of reports, the Giants have shown interest in defensive ends William Hayes and Adrian Clayborn and they could still bring back their own pending free agents Robert Ayers and Jason Pierre-Paul. They’ve also visited with former Panthers defensive end Charles Johnson, who moved on to meet with the Buccaneers as well.
