But I still don’t want him

you show me tape of last year where defenses are commiting two DBs to cover him. If they are, I wouldn’t be so concerned that his numbers are down. If he can keep them from putting 8 men in the box, isn’t that why everyone is so willing to take Plaxico back after being such self-centered, I’ll do whatever I want, I don’t have to answer to you, you can’t live without me, I won you the SuperBowl, spoiled brat,distraction since he got here?

(UGH!!!! The guy’s gotta go!)

is an incredible Wide Receiver. He’s been overshadowed by some of the flashier receivers, but his career numbers actually show him to be up there with TO, Moss, and Marvin Harrison: he’s 11th in all-time receptions, 14th in receiving yards, 26th in TDs (but that list is very bunched, he’s 16 TD’s away from the top-10), and perhaps most importantly, he’s second all-time in receiving yards per game. Just for a comparison, here’s another once great receivers numbers from his last season with a crappy team:

42 Receptions, 553 Yards, 3 TD, 42.5 YPG

This particular receiver was coming off 3 straight subpar seasons by his standards, while Holt has only had one down year. The next season, on a much, much, much, much better team, that same receiver put up this line:

98 Receptions, 1493 Yards, 23 TDs, 93.3 YPG

Now, I’m not suggesting that the Giants are gonna go all Bill Bellichick and start passing on 4th downs and whatnot next year, but Randy Moss obviously still had a lot in the tank. Holt is 2 years older than Moss was last year, so obviously it’s slightly different, but I think he’s still got some skills. I wouldn’t give up a high draft pick for him, but I’d be willing to give up a 4th rounder or lower.

Nuff-said.

I don’t follow this very closely… but aren’t Larry Fitzgerald and Anquon Boldin both free agents?

I like Plax. I feel bad throwing him under the bus. But he screwed the Giants when he shot himself with an unregistered gun. And he is probably going to jail.

So if the Giants cut Plax and sue him for a chunk of that signing bonus, would they not have the cap room for either Fitzgerald or Boldin?

My first choice is Fitzgerald.

Go Giants!

I would have to say pass on Holt.
 
I think the reality of the NFL now is that you can get more out of the draft than you can through free agency. I think with JRs ability to select quality players through the draft and develop them is a great thing. Bouldin might be the exception this season but if we get Burress back and Bouldin we will have some decisions to make.

if they’re shopping him for a 5th or 6th round pick or a conditional pick based on performance.. signing him may be a good option.. but anything higher than that i’d say no..

Depending on how much it cost to acquire him Holt could fill the position that Toomer has now. A veteran WR that could move the chains.

Why not? He’s a proven, expert WR. But the Gmen can likely sign him for nothing. Don’t you think STL will simply release him? With Spags coming in and the skill position players they have (ie Steven Jackson) I’m sure they will become a pound-the-ball team that tries to hang around in games and steal wins on Defense and special teams. So Holt has got to see the writing on the wall and know that he will get phased out. I think the Gmen could likely get him on the cheap and why wouldn’t you add a classy Pro-Bowl caliber WR like that?

If he’s going to be a member of this team; you need to learn how to spell his name right!!

TORREY!

It is TORRY HOLT i have his rookie card plus NFL.COM and Yahoo have it spelled Torry.. but who cares i would take him give them back Moss or a 5th rounder.. just incase plax goes to jail or gets a suspension which he shouldnt because he already did.. also covers us missing Toomer.. Holt is amazing reciever and you forget the rams sucked this year Holt was most def tripple covered specially while Steven Jackson was hurt and then played like trash and btw the rams offensive line stunk it up bad this year and bulger was beat to hell… So yes go for Holt i could see it now plax and holt lining up together WOW! Superbowl here we come… go GMEN! And we need a sick line backer in the draft this year im sick of wasting high picks on recievers it hasn’t really been worth it yet…

Holt is only 1yr and 2months older then PLAX… trust me we could use Holt even with plax….
