Lizard King Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 http://mmqb.si.com/2014/03/20/nfl-free-agency-money-contracts/ In talking with sources on all sides of the negotiations, the Jets and Giants engaged in an interesting turf battle for the services of Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. New Giant Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (Justin Edmonds/Getty Images)Rex Ryan excited Rodgers-Cromartie with a pitch to put the cornerback “on an island” and make him a star. The Giants offered him detailed plans for facing every team in the division, describing how they would use him against specific receivers on the Cowboys, Eagles and Redskins. Thus, as it always does, it came down to economics. The Giants’ deal, with a $10 million signing bonus and $16 million over the first two years, was superior. The Jets held to the structure of a one-year $6 million deal, with options going forward, until it became clear the Giants were closing in. Only then did the Jets present a different type of structure, with general manager John Idzik scrambling to make up ground while attending Teddy Bridgewater’s pro day. By then, however, it was too late; the Giants had won the intra-stadium battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanInDenver Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 So there is no possibility that the JETS who knew DRC was at the Giants facility put in an offer to make the Giants pay more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonehands Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 If we had signed DRC for the Giants' numbers, we would be the laughingstock in the league. That is not a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
