How would anyone feel about giving up draft picks for a coach and then said coach getting a 5 year deal worth oh say 90m.  

Payton is going to get at least 20 million per year, so more likely 5yr, 100M.

I could see a 5 year, 80 million dollar contract or even more. 

Payton's contract is going to be 20 million a year or more.

Sounds like Arizona has been eliminated for Payton 

 

 

Doesn't seem to bode well for Fitts...

I’ll be honest. If we get Payton, we will get a QB and it could even be Brady.

If Brady comes back to play in 2024, it'll be for Las Vegas...

Would love nothing more than to see news tomorrow that Johnson is the guy. Not sure if it can happen that quickly but man, I’m ready to get our guy and get running. 

I'm fairly certain we still need another Rooney interview before we can officially hire anyone.

I'm going to get so much grief for this but:

Parsons > Burns

Gotta go for two, right? You can't put the kicker back out there again?

Lol @ Dallas kicker...

Payton doesn't want to come here. I don't want him here. Win-win.

Why did Payton take the interview if he doesn't want to come here? Be pretty easy for him to say, "thanks, but no thanks."

This is a no Brainer.

You NEVER root/cheer for/want a division rival to win any game, ESPECIALLY in the playoffs.  

 

 

The only answer.

Is the Tepper not easy to work with a real thing or something made up on these boards? It seems to me like he gives his football people plenty of room to work.

One of the reporters attributed it to a league source in one of the articles breaking down the end of Rhule's tender. I don't recall which one. It was not something "made up on these boards."

 was reading where we are able to get so many interviews because Fitt is considered easy to work with and well liked around the league.

So Fitt is counterbalancing Tepper's "not easy to work for' reputation. Interesting.

Fangio and his 3-4 is on top of the list for defense for me. Pairing him with Johnson is by far my favorite pairing. 

Burns is much better suited to a 3-4 base.

He was also projected to go 1-2 in 2010 with Bradford. 
 

  Bradford got 6yrs/78M in 2010.

 Locker got 4 yr/12M in 2011

Add in players like Matt Barkley and Ryan Mallet who went from top 5 to 3-4th rounders and coming back when you’re already as high as you will get is ignorant. 

2011 is when the rookie pay scale went in. That's part of the reason for the discrepancy.

Locker's agent probably should have known that the rookie pay scale was gaining momentum and advised Locker to go in 2010.

Big thing for me is the locker room and Wilks won it, if you go with a new coach.. he's going to have to be able to go in and win the players over, otherwise.. gonna have major turnover first 2 seasons, players wanting out and bad seasons. 

Especially so if it's Payton over Wilks, I'd expect a ton of turnover.

Like restart the rebuild and any Wilks players will have sour taste in their mouth and tank team chemistry type of bad from the sounds of it. 

 

 

Between cuts, FA, and the draft, the locker room next year will be different. A new head coach will inevitably bring in some of "his guys." It happens with every team that hires a new head coach.

QB carousel is going to be active again this offseason it looks

• Tom Brady
• Derek Carr
• Baker Mayfield
• Sam Darnold
• Jimmy Garoppolo
• Jacoby Brissett
• Geno Smith
• Carson Wentz
• Lamar Jackson?
• Jared Goff?
• Matt Ryan?

Goff is under contract until 2024. Why is he on this list?

Yeah I'm not sure how it works as they passed on the 5th year option. I've read they can't franchise him because of that. I don't know. If not, an option?

https://www.si.com/nfl/giants/big-blue-plus/new-york-giants-mailbag-danny-dimes-edition

This article from SI seems to indicate they can still franchise him.

If you're hoping for a TE, might be good to remember that Ben Johnson was part of the Lions staff that traded away TE Hockenson (inside the division, no less.)

Sounds like he's talking about Ron...

Bills live and die off these long developing routes that if they aren’t there Allen runs…sounds familiar?

And yet some people still want Dorsey...

Glazer said Payton doesn't want us.

 

Then I would expect a report soon that despite receiving permission, Payton will not interview with us. If Payton does interview, I think it's fair to question the accuracy of Glazer's information/source.

My only knock against Wilks was the Bucs game.

So we are just going to forget the Bengals game happened?

I can't imagine they would fire Staley to hire a 1-2 year OC. 

It wouldn't be. They would fire him if they had a backroom deal to know they could get Payton. Chargers OC Joe Lombardi came from Payton's staff in New Orleans. I'm sure they still talk (off the record.)
