Giants may franchise him or Cruz. And I'd be willing to have Cruz over Hicks.

 

I don't think he's a legit #1.

 

I'd rather not have him here for the money he'll command and there are several FA WRs out there who would better fit whatever offense the new OC and HC will bring, I'm sure.

They already extended Cruz.

Would we rather Nicks or Hardy?

 

 

Unless insane contract required, Nicks.  We need a #1 WR bad, and we have for years.  We have ZERO history of drafting a WR and developing him for the #1, we got lucky in Smith and that was over a decade ago.   I hate to say it, but if Hardy doesn't want what we offered him, let him walk and go after Nicks.  Then use early picks on o-line and secondary.  I understand Nicks is a bit of a risk with his injuries, but like I said, we're a team that hasn't developed a WR in forever, gotta take some risks.

I think we have the best chance of locking him up long term in a trade scenario if we play decent down the stretch. Remember, his ENTIRE family just saw the Panthers destroy his team a few weeks ago live.

I can see him going with the Jets because of the proximity of the two team so relocation would not be a problem for him. Plus the Jets are about 40mil under the cap and in need of WR help right now.

Yeah I literally don't think we will have the money to do it. Nicks will want $12M to 16M right?

 

We are going to be stuck building through the draft and picking up reasonable free agents for the next few years

And keep blaming Cam when we keep losing. Great plan.

Nicks is going to be in demand. This idea that he will offer a hometown discount is wishful thinking at best.

$50+ million for a WR considering his injury concerns is much more than "a bit of a risk". It's downright dumb.

People forget it isn't hurney slinging ridiculous contracts. I trust Gettleman's judgement on this. I am sure he is aware about Nicks and his potential. Gettleman would be the first person to know if Nicks would be worth a third round pick and a contract. Ideally grabbing him now would be great. Let um audition for the rest of the season. See if he would be worth signing to a huge deal. Gettleman has not made ridiculous contracts so far. So it is safe to say he will give Nicks a fair contract.

      Joint Practice - Jets

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
