But if you want to celebrate a Crowell, God bless I guess. you seem to be the smartest most accurate poster here. .. .. lol, yeah, not so much. signing young FA's is better than older players. take out mccown and we are averaging what 26 / 27 yr olds as FA signings.. relax man its not that bad. wait until we see how the contracts are structured. Also, Cousins and his 30 mil cap hit means we would have 4 less players that we need as probable starters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't accept homework assignments, sorry. It was posted by someone here yesterday who claims an inside source.

MDL_JET Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 8 minutes ago, T0mShane said: I think that pettiness may be worth giving the #2 to Buffalo for the 12 and 22. If the Giants are trading out because they want to draft OLs, you’re still in as good shape to get one at 12as you are at 6 unless they’ve got a massive hard on for Nelson. I would think they do. You already signed the top LT, I would imagine they're drooling over the idea of pairing him with the best G in the country. But who the hell knows. They could draft Josh Allen and throw everything off. And also this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still no idea if anyone wanted Fitzpatrick when Macc bid against himself in that situation. We do seem to overpay for Mccown each year. But it's the QB position and Bradford just got 20 million. I think teams value Mccown as a player and as a leader/mentor. It's nice to have a QB capable enough to start and also willing to step aside for a younger player when the time comes.

joewilly12 Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 I want a franchise QB more than anything here, but I'm so glad we didn't pay Kirk Cousins all that money he really isn't that good and hasn't won a damn thing in the NFL. Im upset that we wasted $10 million on Josh McCown Teddy Bridgewater we see what he's got if he overcame that horrific knee injury. Heres to hoping we land that decent/franchise QB in the draft.

Actually, I was talking about the opposite. I was thinking more along the lines of the Jets demanding a 1st for Abraham, but the Falcons did not want to give up their high-mid first traded with the Broncos for #29, then rolled that to the Jets for Abraham. Get a team the Giants feel allowed to trade with to make the initial swap. I think it is done in lesser deals where teams don't want to deal within the division, but the only instance I can think of is the Vikings letting the Jets trade for Favre since the Packers would not make that deal. Not the best example because the Packers saw it coming and put all kinds of contingencies in the deal so we traded for one year of drunken sexting.

JoJoTownsell1 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 The desperate Giants just massively overpaid for Nate Solder. A very good, but not elite Tackle. 4 years 62 million, 35 guaranteed. Highest paid OL in the NFL per Ian Rappaport. And I am always a little nervous about players leaving the Patriots. They often regress.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that Bowles and Macc will be run out on a rail soon enough. Bowles probably first. There is a greater chance of Macc lucking into a QB than Bowles ever developing into a competent coach.

The 10 Million more a year was and is being taken out of context here. The reporter stated that in order for the Jets to have a realistic shot at landing Cousins they would have had to pay him 10 Million more a year... Not that he was told that, not that was a real number, but basically saying the Jets roster is so devoid of talent they would have to overpay him by 10 Mil a year in order to get him here.

I liked Moncrief coming out. I tend to read multiple draft profiles rather than actually watching tons of college ball. Doing only that really gave me some shine to Moncrief, Chris Conley and Robert Meachem. No real busts, but not exactly a murderer's row of receiver talent either.
