PeterNorth09 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Is good. Nice job Bradway. Give an honorable mention to Tanenbaum. He was Bradway's capologist at the time and probably advised him to let McKenzie go bc he wanted too much $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 We needed that money,and the Aaron Glenn money, and the Randy Thomas money, to sign 45 fat 3 gap DL guys named Tank and 32 DBs who knew how to play Cover 2. OL-you can get those guys in the 7th round and off the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 We need to sign Max Starks. Our right side is hideous. Max Starks would make a good right guard, IMO. He's a poor right tackle though, bad feet, plus he got benched this year fyi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be a huge upgrade over Clement plus he'd be younger and cheaper than Faneca, who I'm not opposed to signing either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Giants had to pay more than we would have. They got him after his contract was expired. We could have extended him while he was still under his rookie deal. He wanted $10M in bonus money & we balked at it. We were too concerned with giving $23M in bonus money to Chad "I took a phantom pay cut" Pennington and $15M in bonus money to Shaun "I got paid, now I don't do squat" Ellis, not to mention $15M in bonus money to Dewayne "I suck for months at a time" Robertson. Yes. We gave $53M in bonus money to those 3 clowns. That number doesn't include their considerable salaries. McKenzie only got $12M or $15M or whatever it was up front because it was a year later & now there was a bidding war for his services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt we would of got him for cheaper but we also would of had to sign him sooner,unlesss you sign a guy to a contract about a year before his current contract runs out,chances are they will try free agency.McKenzie isn't exactly a great player,he's a good player but he underperformed his first few years with the giants,you know jet fans would be quick to add the guy to the list of guys who the jets overpaid if he did that here.

The Giants blew everybody out of the water right from the start. They targeted him and got him. I think the Jets were pretty sure he'd test the market and they could match. McKenzie got sick money and they couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
