I have no idea what to think. Honestly, paying that much to a WR when you are clearly in rebuilding mode is crazy but why not trade him before signing him to that deal? Is Peppers any good? I mean cap wise, they got rid of $32m a year in OBJ and Collins and with that giant cap space they got pick 17 and Peppers. If pick 17 works out then it could be a heck of a trade. If it doesn’t then the trade sucks. Again, they are far from winning the division so saving $60m in cap the next two years isn’t a bad plan if you pick a QB early and plan to be competitive in 2021/2022. It’s risky but they aren’t a playoff team paying those to $30m the next couple years. 

What do picks matter to a team though with DG as their GM?

Yall  really think Gettlemen screwed up?  I do not. He fixed a mistake.  OBJ is a pain in the ass.  Giants are in rebuild mode, and they get J. Peppers, a  first rounder, a third  rounder, and out of a bad contract, in my opinion.  OBJ is a highlight reel, but he is simply good, not great. 1000 yards on 77 receptions.  That is 64 yards per game and an average of 1 TD every 2.66 games. He averaged less than 5 catches per game...That is not (to me) worth $1.125 million per game--that costs the fans $230K per catch. 

Just my opinion.  

Yes, NY may run Gettlemen out of town...he gave OBJ a ridiculous contract and then trades him about a dozen games later?

OBJ wanted a new deal surpassing AB's deal. Add in his attitude issues and the type of return they got from the Browns... really good trade for the Giants. They got a first and a third plus a young safety with room to grow. AB didnt even get the Steelers a first. huge win from the giants side of things.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
