That dude is done. He has the deer in the headlights syndrome.

At least he cashed in during the offseason.  That's the reason you don't cave to demands of players at key positions looking for their bag that's not generational.  I'm all about paying guys what they are worth, but overpaying dudes because they think they are worth the figure in their heads is another.

Kyler Murray is another example.  Teams balk for a reason (they have reservations about the player) then cave and almost immediately regret it.

Add Brian Burns to that list in the offseason while we lack a first round pick and saddled with a huge cap number.

I can't believe they gave him that contract. He's never been anything but bad or mediocre. Moving from bad to mediocre convinced them that he'd figured it out.

Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll have probably improved the Giants overall, but the decision to go with Jones with Still a head scratcher.

Don't think for a second the Giants aren't going to be looking very hard at this QB class.  They can get out from under Jones' contract after the 2024 season.  This also give the rookie a year to sit if need be.

Can someone give me a summary of what's going on with Michigan? I don't follow college football but heard something about them sending guys in disguise to opposing team games to steal signs or something?

I haven't followed it super closely, but from what I've seen they sent a staffer named Connor Stallions (apparently his real name) to other games where he managed to get on the sidelines with Google glasses type equipment and steal signs, even from lesser schools like Central Michigan.

Word was that Michigan was ready to offer Jim Harbaugh an extension that would have made him the highest paid coach in college football, but now that's been delayed.

It's insane.

One explanation is he was a rogue employee making like $30k year who took initiative and created this scheme and relayed information to coaches, and the coaches didn’t investigate on how he was getting this info because it was beneficial. Didn’t want to pry if you know what I’m saying. He was doing this at his own discretion and acted alone. 
 

and of course, the guy was not a very good criminal and created a very easily traceable money trail. 
 

if it can be linked to Harbaugh he was behind this oh man

Probably a distant cousin of the guys that deflated the footballs for Brady just to help him out.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
