Would You Trade A 1st Rounder For Victor Cruz?

with him having problems getting a deal done in nyg got me thinking maybe Gettlemen who should know him really well could somehow make a deal with them and bring him here?

 

I would do it in a heartbeat not only will that give our #2 for this season but Cruz could take over as #1 once Smitty is done.

 

Our WR AFTER Deal

#1WR:Smitty

#2wr Cruz

#3:Lafell/Hixon

I don't think we are that desperate yet. I would not give up a 1st at this point. If Smitty were to suddenly retire I would, though. At this point I think we will have options next year. Like someone else said, maybe we use our first 2 picks next year on WRs.

I don't know. A ton of teams are gonna jump on Nicks too.

 

True but he is from Charlotte and has mentioned that he would love to play here. Make him a reasonable offer is all I am asking for and let him decide.

I would, because it would become a late 1st. The trickery is affording him/ willing to pay more than the Giants would to keep him. As they can match any offer we make.

 

But yes I would do it.

 

See but we have to send a pick AND sign Cruz to a deal....not cool

 

I could maybe be ok with one or the other.

 

That is why drafting a WR or signing a FA WR like Nicks is the best course of action

 

 

BTW that 1st Marty wanted to trade away to teams in the 2nd was for Clausen ....that  netted us Cam Newton the next year. Let's not gamble like that

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
