Giants will let CB Prince Amukamara test free agency

In a radio interview, impending free agent CB Prince Amukamara said he does not expect to negotiate with the Giants before the start of free agency.
Amukamara was told in his exit interview the organization does not want to discuss a new contract until after free agency begins. Amukamara has proven an above-average corner on the field, but he has missed 13 games the past two seasons. The Giants would probably like him back, but they are going to let Amukamara set his market first. He is reportedly seeking $10 million annually. Feb 17 - 4:35 PM
 
10 million annually for a corner that can't stay healthy??? No thanks and good luck Prince

BIg CB (6 feet, 207) with high character.  Would be a good fit here. Fairly sure he will make a few coins, however.   Has a bit of an injury history--weird injuries, not chronic knees etc.

The only way I see a signing like this is if we do not tag or sign Norman.  Norman will almost certainly be tagged.

Norman insurance. And if Norman does end up being here long term, even better.

If he's seeking $10 million a year, he's not going to sign with us for $5 million for a year.  He knows he's got some injury issues, and he wants someone to give him some cash to ensure he's financially set.

I mean, he's an above average corner, and at his age, someone is going to gamble on a big contract.

    • I agree, but I've already said that the players will definitely take more money up front because it's more security. But they want more guaranteed money and NFL FOs don't want to do that for several and various reasons, and that's what's at issue.  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-second-round-rookies-finally-starting-to-sign-what-took-so-long-and-what-it-means-for-future-contracts/ It's a tug of war between teams and players, and, sure, paying a player a signing bonus may satisfy them, especially if--and sometimes "only if"--it ultimately leads to a guarantee of more of their contract, but the teams are on the hook for all of those guarantees when cap time comes, so if they guarantee more money, they're ultimately losing the contract game.
    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
