Would like to see how the giants offer changed 

I heard they weren’t going to let him leave without pretty much giving him whatever he wants.

NFC dominated the AFC head to head this season. 

This iteration of the NFC pales in comparison to 10 years ago is what I am saying. If the Giants have a competent QB the pieces are in place for them to make a playoff run.

Hell yeah. That's what I wanted. Out of the NFCS, and bad for the Cowboys. 

Would be fun as my backup team in NY. I think the roster is much better than their record, I can see why a good coach would be attracted to that job.

Giants are the best option for him all things considered. He could be a problem for the NFC which has weakened significantly over recent years.

The Giants have a lot of pieces on the table.

But they have also had a very shaky table. Should be interesting to see how this one works out, because that place has been a mess for a while now and has the biggest microscope on it of any team in the NFL.

So Monken will have Dart, Skat, Nabers, Theo to start working with and a top third OL.  

Their D is a travesty though.  Big rebuild coming-- even with their DL spending, it wasn't smart building w/ this Burns-Thibs-Carter trio oh and Dex dropping off a cliff this year.

I can see a respectable floor but if Dart isn't it, it still may take a minute.

Giants roster is pretty stacked, that made them one of the premiere destinations. They'll be in playoff contention next season.

No reason why their edge rushers shouldn't be eating. Don't know much about the ILB's or secondary

Smart move but he has another qb that can't stay healthy.

Their DL is crazy bad honestly. 

DL wise, Lawrence is a problem for them, they have no run defense or real anchor anymore to tilt matchups for their edge rushers.  Burns had a good year sack wise, but somehow was worse in run-d than we've ever seen (and that's saying something).  Total liability.  Pair him as that liability with Carter, who was not as blue-chip as expected, and Thibs who seems above average at best, they've got major issues.

Okereke is getting old.  Nubin, Adebo, and Philips are about their only players on that side of the ball to call a core.  Makes you feel a bit better about us with some of our guys haha.

I figured this would ultimately be the case. Of the openings thIs is the one that makes the most sense IMO. Dart showed a lot of promise as a rookie and they'll get Nabors back from injury next year. They obviously need work but they have some key pieces in place and a lot of their losses were competitive.

:looks at Panthers keeping Bryce at least two more years:

I suspect it will not go well. They certainly have some talent but still lack a QB and some other pieces.

At best, they might rise to fringe playoff competitor. 

Now, this is also with the prospect of Washington about to be going through a HC change and Philly in turmoil. Could end up backing into a weak division.
