Keep Or Cut? Shawn Andrews

also whether they consider Andrews a LT or a G.

I’d renegotiate with him and see if he wants to try to make another comeback. But most definitely he can’t be making that $6.5 mil. He didn’t even earn it when he was healthy and he didn’t stay that way long enough to warrant it either.

If they just cut him and be done with it, I wouldn’t be disappointed either.

Hopefully he will see NOBODY will give him 6.5 mill. and take 2 mill to sit back and wait for the opening to play.

But I know he reads these articles and sports blogs, so I went with ‘keep him’.
Kidding aside, the Giants structured his contract so that they could resign him in the unlikely event that he made it through the season in top form and top health. That was not the case, so it’s pretty obvious the decision the Giants have to make.
It’s a shame too, because of the gazillion questions being asked about the O-Line, his health and participation would solve just about all of them.
And of course, the best answer is ‘renegotiate his contract’, but that’s a cop out. If I was in charge, I’d renegotiate everyone’s contract to league minimum salaries.

when healthy.

A lot of question marks for $6.5 mil. Hopefully he realizes that to. Any word on the status of his back?

All that being said, I would like to see him back (hopefully for cheaper). I prematurely wrote a fanpost last year anointing him our next LT. That was under the assumption his back was going to hold up. I’m standing by what I saw of him though, a LT that kept Eli upright without any help.

and restructure his contract before the 30th day. He has value as a spot starter and for depth. If he doesn’t want to restructure it, then cut him. It’s not as if he’s going to get a big deal somewhere else.

to prove he could come back healthy and he didnt. Fool me once, fool me twice… I say cut him. Id rather have a project guy who cant play because hes still learning than a guy who cant play and there is little to no light at the end of the tunnel.

that would affect my decision

I have a bad back and would like to cut myself.

He was better than Diehl at LT even with back problems now that my friends is the definition of sad.

What other giant will talk to me on twitter?

You didnt know my ex wife.

You’re healthy, you play, you get paid nicely. No one’s giving him $6.5 mil a year, so if he enjoyed his time here (he seemed to) and relishes playing against his former team a few times a year, then there should be a nice middle ground in there somewhere.

I’d love to see this poll but with this 3rd option, since that’s what many seem to be in favor of.

I voted keep him because when he was on the line, the Giants actually could run to the left side for a change. However, his contract is incredibly prohibitive. If he made half or even two-thirds that amount, it would be a totally different story.
The best option is C. Try and restructure and give him some nice playing time incentives.

because he should be kept but not at that $$$

Plaxico Burress will be an Eagle after two years of prison, after Shawn Andrews became a Giant after two years sitting in his apartment making music and having the occasional back surgery.

They can sit in the press box together next year.

and he proved to be. You could argue he provided the most value for the dollar than any Giant last year. JR will renegotiate his contract to about 2mil give or take a couple hundred thousand…We need all the depth we can get.
