  1. I think there are a lot of things that we do not know. I do not think keeping him was an option. Imagine if they let him hit free agency? Morgan did not make this problem--someone predicted that Burns would only get a third. It is probably going to get ugly before it gets better.
  2. The money is the issue. Now we can get a WR, Brian is not worth $30m per for 5 years. Burns, in Morgan's opinion, was not a dawg and I am guessing that he did not see him as a 3-down OLB. We have YGM and Barno and will likely add an Edge now. With the cap savings, we can also add 2 more need positions. I am disappointed, but I am not blaming Morgan. BB was damaged goods here, and teams were aware.
  3. which second? It makes a difference. #39 or #47, I believe.
  4. what makes you say this? I can say that (I used to work Sports at the Observer when in grad school, so I am familiar with the 'behind the scenes' concerns. I worry that she is a bit aggressive, trying to get out ahead of the story--it is competitive now--moreso than it used to be.
  5. Right. If a 6'6"g keeps the DT within a yard of the line of scrimmage or a 6'3" offensive guard lets the DT get two yards into the pocket, the 6'6" G is easier to see over. If I hold a tennis ball a foot from me and a basketball 10 feet from me, the tennis ball looks bigger. Kinda like magic.
  6. Probably a good point--but something is holding this up. If other teams are involved, it would also be a waste of everyone's time to have a contract worked out before a trade was in place--I assume that Burn's agent gave the Giants a ballpark figure, and the devil is in the details. I dunno because nobody does.
  7. If you go back and look at our record, the Huddle is a bunch of dumbasses. Present company excluded, of course.
  8. Brian Burns actually could refuse to sign the tag, if I am not mistaken. They have to agree on a long term contract. New york looking for someone to play opposite Thibideaux (Sp). With the #6 pick, they can get a QB. Burns is the only person who can stump this deal. The Giants did not re-sign Barkley, letting him go to a division rival. Now that the news of this gets out, their fans will storm the castle if they dont make it happen. They have the cap room (I just saw $38m--dont know how updated it is)
  9. I think the damage was done with Burns before Frank was fired. We are taking the Lexus to the scrap yard now.
  10. I think in trades, they pay by the pound. We'd get a seventh round conditional pick in 2027
  11. We lost Burns months ago. All that is left is trying to get something for him
  12. I imagine the sticking point is the contract with Burns--just as it was with us--the Giants would offer less if the deal was higher--I assume. Morgan is earning his $$$ today---he should be playing them off each other.
  13. no--they are going after a QB, imo. The fact that they did not want to give up a second (if true) is probably the reason this is dragging out. They need it to move up. I am totally guessing, but if we take both seconds now, they can't move up as easy.
  14. Don't forget, Morgan was a LB---he knew that Luvu was a gap shooter--and for every tackle for loss we saw him get, we got gashed when he guessed wrong. Morgan knew what he was doing here. Give him credit.
  15. I imagine Morgan is holding out for the 2 seconds. The Giants are trying to give up a second and then something later or a pick next year.
  16. a quarter takes 1 roster spot, and three dimes takes three. Maybe that was what he meant.
  17. You realize that you are praising the person who had to sit beside the driver on the short bus, right?
