uart Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 DAMNIT! Tynes was one my favorite players. The only NFL player from Scotland (born in Greenock, Scotland)... now I can't root for him anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryK Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 My guess is the Giants only offered Guards & Tackles and Herm's holding out for a 40yr old safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 How KC can trade away Tynes is beyond me but he should fair well even with the Meadowlands winds. He has hit 55+ yard Field Goals before at Arrowhead and thats why he was mainly brought into this league was because of his strong leg. I thought the Giants were going to be comfortable with Josh Houston, guess not. I wonder who KC signs, maybe Vanderjagt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
