You must think he will still be our GM next year.  

Nice attempt at a joke.  But you failed.  Come picks next year are based on this years transactions.  Sorry

Bye bitch. Go suck on Gettlemans balls. He isn't worth even 10 mil, good riddance.

I agree.  Gettlemen drafted him, so he thinks a ZONE CB is worth that--and there could be some pride involved.

It’s okay, Jackson can probably handle Thomas, Jones, and Evans

[Snake]

No way he was worth that. He will be a trash CB in a year or two. 

[JawnyBlaze]

Good luck to him. Glad we didn’t pay him that money. 

[Shocker]

A dude I like in the same vien as our current signings is Maurice Canady.  I could see us signing him.

I mean he’s now the second highest paid CB in the league and isn’t even top 5, arguably top 10...

At the same time it kind of makes you think what we are doing ‘building through the draft’ but only signing players we drafted if they’re the right price? I dk

Bradberry is a solid corner. That may be overpaying a bit but it's close. Nice pickup for the Giants.

I would say he's very overpaid for what he is. Not even a top 10 CB.

James Bradberry, CB, New York Giants

The deal: Three years, $45 million
Grade: C+

The Giants badly needed help at cornerback after moving on from Eli Apple and Janoris Jenkins in consecutive seasons. The idea of going into 2020 with struggling second-year corner DeAndre Baker as their No. 1 option must have terrified general manager Dave Gettleman, so it's no surprise that he went into the free-agent market for a player he drafted when Carolina's depth chart at corner was looking bare in the spring of 2016.

Panthers fans never seemed to warm to Bradberry as a star. In part, that was because of how he arrived in the league, given that he was drafted to replace Josh Norman after Gettleman released Carolina's then-star corner from his franchise tag. Bradberry was typically solid but rarely made huge plays; he had eight interceptions in four seasons, and they generated a mere 38 return yards in the process. In a division in which the Panthers were stuck facing Michael Thomas, Julio Jones and Mike Evans six times per year, Bradberry was good enough to hold his own but not good enough to routinely shadow or shut the best receivers in football down altogether. (To be clear: That's an unrealistic expectation.)

[SmartyHurney]

Highly overrated by this fanbase. The guy wasn't mediocre to bad at times, and for a few games where he played well it wasn't enough.

I'm not going to miss him dropping interceptions that hit him in the chest.

Bet he plays like absolute trash in NY, especially if the Giants run anything that isn't zone.

[App Panther]

Look like the Giants got a cohnah. Paid elite money to get him too.

Will probably be us in a few years when Evans, Thomas, and Ridley are torching us.

[Sgt Schultz]

I think the G-men overpaid, and I said $15M/year was too much when he said that is what he wanted.  I don't think it was outlandish, but still too much, especially given the fact we have a lot of people to pay and not an endless amount of cap to do it. 

The $32M guaranteed is on another level of too much, though.

I'm glad he got what he was looking for.  It's not like he is the north end of a southbound horse.  I'm equally glad it was not us handing it over.  But, I wish him the best and I hope it works out for him.

I'm happy that man got paid on a human level. On a football level lol thank you Gentleman for being trash llololol
