No compensatory picks

But they do not have W-L-T Draft Picks in the standings.  When Funchess got hurt at the end of the season, we had nothing. 

We weren't exactly lighting it up with KB on the team, either. Whether or not the trade made us better, it really didn't hurt us. I was dumbfounded when the trade was announced, but time showed that in the end we unloaded a contract and gave KB a shot to shine elsewhere.

The draft pick there does make up for the lack of one this year. Will it pay off? Won't know for at least six months or longer.

referring to the Giants who can have the gift of Dave that keeps on giving long after he’s been kicked to the curb.

I'm sure it wasn't done on purpose.

Gettleman should have let J-No play on the tag, period. He was the author of the stupidity.

We may not have been able to keep KK or Trai if Josh was kept on the tag for that one year, and keeping him on the tag would've made zero difference that season. We didn't stand a chance with or without Josh. Yeah Julio wouldn't have gone off for 300 but we had no shot at winning it all just by adding Josh.

JNo sowed his own demise. Actually his agent did. Gettleman was a business man. 

A bad business man ...actually it was G-man and he knew it,  but tried to fix it by panic drafting three corners...so here we are...so glad G-man is gone ...

The dominoes fell from that mistake...

The Butler pick would have made sense then.

Letting Ginn walk to a Division rival and replacing him with Russell Shepard was moronic on Gettleman’s part. That and the J-No saga should remind all of us DG was not without his faults 

Add in the release of Steve Smith

JNo brought an agent with zero experience in NFL contract to represent him in the biggest negotiations of his life. While I don't think Gman did all things correctly, to say all the blame falls on him is unfair as evidenced by Norman getting new representation as soon as he was released.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
