The talk of the offseason will be LB or WR. I think both can be addressed because the Giants will have unusual flexibility this offseason. The Giants have 2 second and 2 fifth round draft picks available to maneuver into the top of the draft if they desire to. Also, by exercising a loophole in Darcy Johnson's contract, the Giants will add an extra 7.2mm to their cap number making it 130.2mm for next season.

Here is my idea. With the extra money, target Terrell Suggs to play OLB. That would finally give the Giant defense an impact player at LB and Pierce can still be the brains of the defense. Next, couple some of those extra draft picks and move as far into the top ten as you can. Certainly the Kansas City Chiefs need more than one player and would not draft offense with their horrid front seven.
That is the perfect spot to target because Crabtree will most certainly be drafted by Seattle at the 4 spot. I know this seems crazy but it is not impossible given the assets the Giants have available this offseason. Reese should think "Yankee" this offseason and not "Mets" (who refuse to sign a player that not only complete's their team but would make them THE baseball story in New York but I digress).
It can be done. Crabtree and Suggs. Jacobs gets re-signed and we say goodbye to Toomer(4mm cap savings).
Okay, opinions?
