JPP, Giants not close to a deal

I would rather CJ take a pay cut and stay over JPP any day.  CJ has always been good against the run.  JPP is a better pass rusher, but he wasn't great against the run before his hand injury.  I'm hard pressed to believe anyone will give him a long-term contract.  Way too much risk.  You saw first hand during our game his inability to wrap up.  Pressuring the QB is cool and all, but if you can't get him to the ground it's all wasted against good QB's like Wilson, Rodgers, Newton, etc. that can get away and make you pay.  I would be cool with a $8M one-year deal, but still rather have CJ.  CJ isn't washed up, just not worth $15M.  CJ at $8M is a much better investment in IMO than JPP at $8M.  CJ is only a couple of years older than JPP.  People act like he is as old as Peppers.

There is speculation that CJ will not take a paycut. He has made comments before about not doing it in the past. That is the problem. CJ takes a cut and I would be thrilled.

 

and I don't want JPP

We need a vet DE but he's at the bottom of my list.  

Look how skinny his right bicep is now by comparison.  You simply can't train or play like a premier player without a hand.

This is why i think he will have to take less money this next year. Teams need to know he can produce. Once he came back he was very good at getting pressure but not sacks. He will probably need to take a prove it type deal. Either way if we landed him it would be great.

I don't know, I have seen some teams do some really dumb things in the past.  I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see the Cowboys sign him. 

Same, Gregory being the dumbass we all figured, and Hardy being the dumbass that he is....wouldn't be shocked to see them sign Williams or JPP.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
