PrintThought i'd take this into my own hands
First: a moment of silence and respect for Shaun O'Hara and Richie Seubert.
Err, good knowing you Rocky. Not really, at all, you fat tack.
So this may be stalling for 75 words, it may not be. (checks) Yep needs more words.
Errr, so hopefully nmandi... nnamdi... asomooga, asomugah... that dude from the Raiders, stays off the Jets and Eagles.
Ok I think I'm good, post your hearts away
Bye Bye Rock we hardly knew you except for you big fat waste of space, not remotely worth the money you were given...

Big thing for the day that I can forsee
is Deangelo Williams
Get Better, Not Bitter.
by BigBlueIntervention on Jul 27, 2011 1:26 PM EDT reply actions
I would love to acquire him
I believe he is a top 5 running back when healthy and will come at a similar price as AB.

BOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Word is they're trying to keep AB.
Do you think Williams would replace AB or replace BJ if he refuses to restructure and gets cut?
Which I would agree with trying to keep AB
AB, at this point, is younger and basically the same type of back. Both have injury concerns, but AB already has history with the team.
I don't see Williams as BJ's replacement
For that matter, I don’t see any back coming in here and being able to do the things that BJ does.

I just meant roster spot really.
Unless Bettis un-retires nobody replaces what he does.
I hope we say sayonara to BJ
I just don’t see him being productive this year. Unless the hole is perfect, he probably won’t hit it. Catching passes out of the backfield? Don’t get me started. Goal line? Average at best. Williams would make a great 1-2 punch and get us back to playing real Giants football.
idk why carolina would want him tbh.
They have Jonathan Stewart and are rebuilding. They should save some $$$ and get a nice comp pick for him.
Comp picks this year...
Do the Giants get a 2 for losing Cofield? I don’t know any of the new rules.
Depends on who we sign
If we get DeAngelo Williams, I doubt we get any comp picks

Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
it does unless the new CBA somehow changed this
compensatory picks are awarded to teams that have lost more qualifying free agents than they gained the previous year in free agency.
It does

We let Ward go, but signed Canty, Boley and Bernard
but still had a 3rd round comp pick.
So unless the new CBA changed anything, we get comp picks.

I dunno what that all matters
the only thing that matters here is we lost Cofield, so we get comp picks.
Whoever we sign doesn’t matter. It only matters for the players former team, which would then get comp picks.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
again. Who we sign matters
Under the rules for compensatory draft selections, “a team losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks.” although, Not every free agent lost or signed is covered by the formula.
well we still ended up with picks in 2009 despite just losing Ward
so I guess he was “better” then what we got back, whatever that means.

Dunno what the exact wording is
but most likely they’ll get a pick at the end of the third round with the Supplemental picks come in.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
comp pick primer
I did pretty well this year on my guesses. Cofield is likely to be worth around a 4th rounder, if we do nothing else. There are no 2nd rounders, 3rd is the highest comp pick.
You get a comp pick if you lose a UFA with less than 10 years experience, or a RFA or UDFA that you tendered. You lose that pick if you sign another team’s free agents. Players cut do not count in the equation.
"Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun."
If that's what AB wants
I think he’s a goner.
NFl network just said thats what D Will got.
21 Mill, guarunteed. i think

was Strahan a douchebag when he held out?
why are we acting like Osi is the first person to be unhappy about their contract and threaten to hold out? he hasnt held out yet.
I hate when players complain about their contracts, but the fact is, they all do it, and this is not the first and last time it will happen
was Strahan a douchebag when he held out?
yea, he was.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
At the time I agreed.
After they won I forgot about it.
exactly
its part of the game…..its a business, see O’Hara, Rocky, Andrews…..they were all under contract….are the Giants doucebags for not honoring them?
Yes.
That’s why the players have a right to be selfish on contract issues.
Don't really want to argue about this
but I think the point is that there should be a correspondence between performance and monetary compensation. If you are injured or playing below par, you get cut or restructure your contract.
If you play well, you get a long term extension. Osi is a douche because he’s getting fair compensation for his performance. Its not fair to the rest of his teammates or to the Giants organization.
Get Better, Not Bitter.
by BigBlueIntervention on Jul 27, 2011 2:06 PM EDT up reply actions
I think Osi should be happy with his pay....
but he does have the right to try to get more if he wants, just like the Giants have the right to cut him, or anyone else. This is how it is set up…..the business end of the game, as we all put it, it works both ways
true, he's entitled to.
But that’s what makes him a douche. I understand both will try and cheat the other out of as much money as possible, but usually, they end up canceling each other out.
If Osi was making like a million a year or something, I would be more understanding…2 mill even….but when u average 7 million per year….hard for me to feel for you.
Get Better, Not Bitter.
by BigBlueIntervention on Jul 27, 2011 2:12 PM EDT up reply actions
I may be wrong but
I think that Osi has already earned the majority of that contract. I believe that he is only getting paid roughly 7mill over the next 2 years. So yeah this is a dick move on his part.
by Mother Tucker on Jul 27, 2011 2:22 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah strahan was a bit of a douche
Osi more so because its not like he has a ridiculously low contract. Chris Johnson holding out cuz he makes 800K. Osi is holding out because he’s making close to 7 mill a year. 6 yrs, 41 million dollars.
On top of that, he filed a lawsuit BECAUSE of it. And he says he’s a top 5 DE, but the fact remains that besides last year, the two years before that he’s been ineffective due to injury.
That’s why he’s a grade A douchebag.
Get Better, Not Bitter.
by BigBlueIntervention on Jul 27, 2011 2:01 PM EDT up reply actions
the lawsuit means nothing.....it was the NFLPA
Peyton, Brees, and Brady filed lawsuits too
his situation
was exactly what the NFLPA was looking for.
And Osi has not held out yet, we are all just assuming that he will, for all we know, he could show up, him and the Giants could be working on an extension
I like Strahan as much as anyone else...
but lets not just think of the Strahan that we hold on a pedistal because he retired on top with a Super Bowl ring……He held out of training camp too. Do we not remember why he was playing for us the year won it?
no because
Osi can’t shine Stray’s shoes? MS is a HOFer. Osi is not.

According to NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora, the Dolphins have emerged as the favorites to land free agent Ahmad Bradshaw.
“I’ve been hearing a lot of momentum about Bradshaw to Miami,” reported La Canfora Wednesday afternoon. DeAngelo Williams just knocked it out of the park with a ridiculous contract from the Panthers, and Bradshaw should be able to come pretty close. The Fins are being highly aggressive today, targeting their new feature back and new starting quarterback (likely Kyle Orton)

These guys...
May not have what we’re looking for by themselves, but one of them could work as a compliment to BJ.
No one would like Bush?
Everyone’s big criticism about our RBs is they cant catch out of the backfield. That’s Bush’s best attribute IMO
I wouldn't mind him, but he'll probably ask for a lot
Get Better, Not Bitter.
by BigBlueIntervention on Jul 27, 2011 2:17 PM EDT up reply actions
The more I think about it
I would take Bush in a heartbeat from that list (if the price is right). He may not be a traditional RB but if we keep BJ then we don’t need one. He brings a ton to the table in terms of catching ability, speed, and KR/PR skills.
if the price is right yes, he'd be my #1 option.
but again its all about value. he could come at a discount because of the NY market. He’s in a position to make more endorsement $$$ in NY than say denver or something.
Only if he'd settle for less then Jacobs is getting
and if he is, definitely.
A back who can actually catch passes? That’d be awesome for the team

ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reports free agent Plaxico Burress is expected to decide between the Giants and Steelers.
One report from a month ago suggested Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers’ coaches were more interested in Plax than the front office and ownership were. Burress will meet with Giants coach Tom Coughlin Friday night, then fly to Pittsburgh to visit coach Mike Tomlin. The Giants have reportedly discussed a two-year, $10.5 million contract with 60 percent in salary and bonuses and the remainder in incentives.

Oh damn .... I would have never thought this was possible
I’m not sure that I want Plax back, 50/50 on it … but I thought for sure that the Giants were 100% against it…. you just never know
question....
if the dolphins sign ronnie brown, is there any other real competition for AB? Does that drop his asking price?
Is it possible JR is waiting this out? I know thats a lot to gamble.
JR will refuse to overpay, I'm sure
So if that means waiting, he’ll wait. Time could only be on his side if Bradshaw’s asking price is too high, because at the least, the market ceiling has already been established.
"Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."
i thought that until i saw the proposed Burress deal
5.25 per season for a WR who spent 2 years in jail and is 34…. that seems a bit high right? especially for a team flush w/ WRs.
If we signed Burress would we be looking to trade WRs?
I think that's overpaying, too
But the wild card here may be that Tisch is promoting/facilitating this through a friend of his.
No, I’m not happy about that element.
Of course, they’ll say Coughlin can veto, but then, his leash for keeping his job gets a little shorter after this year.
"Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."
He's probably waiting for the Dolphins to sign someone
probably Brown or Bradshaw will be a Giant.

rosenhaus wants a bidding war.
I doubt the eagles have shown a lot of interest. They have to worry about D jax. Rams could be a real possiblity tho.
So the LOLskins
have signed:
Santana Moss
Jabbar Gaffney
Donte Stallworth
Brandon Stokley
…clearly they got tired of washed up RBs and now are focusing on washed up WRs

sooooo
they went from youngest projected wr corp to the oldest in 24 hours…..impressive.
Maybe they want each of their young guys to have an old guy to mentor/coach them…..
can’t wait for opening day. 6 more weeks!
I'm with you!
The one good thing about the whole lockout is now that it’s over we’ve only got a month and a half until the season starts…piece of cake.
sigh...
Seriously
Not to mention their best option at QB is to have 3 RBs use a water balloon slingshot.

this doesn't really bother me actually
I’m more concerned with is having a running game than Sillydelphia getting Tulloch, or with us not getting Tulloch

What would y'all think of Steve Slaton?

He would ft well
He’s basically a downhill hit the hole kind of guy, but I see him more as depth than anAB replacement
is anyone else annoyed that the last 3 hours have been quiet?
after months of bullshit non-news, and then am addictive frenzy of yesterday and more news this morning. . .
Sigh.
"Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."
Some thoughts on all this....
Reggie Bush -I don’t think he would be a good replacement for Bradshaw. He has some superb skills, but as a pure running back, he is not very good. Therefore if Bradshaw left and Jacobs got injured, we would still have a void there, with or without Bush.
TIght end: we need to keep Boss (or sign a quality replacement) – isn’t Pascoe just a blocker, whereas of course Beckum is the other way around?
Surely we don’t need yet another wide receiver (talking about Trigger Happy here), especially at that price – we already have too many. I’d kind of like to see Victor Cruz play at some point actually.
Doubt that we need another defensive tackle either; we have 3 good ones, plus the “four defensive end” formation. There’s always Martin Parker as well, that undrafted free agent (don’t know if he’s officially signing). Excited about seeing Joseph or Austin in there.
Offensive line: baa-aaa! Could continue to decline, and that would be the Giants paying the price for not drafting high in that area these last two seasons, electing to draft in areas of strength instead. One 5th rounder, then one 4th rounder, we drafted. If we do lose Bradshaw, I fear for our running game.
Lastly, looks like Aussie Giant will have to redo his footer if Quincy Black signs his contract in Tampa. All those exclamation marks didn’t help.
Looking forward to the season, though. Got a feeling it’s gonna be a good one.
apparently AB just exited dolphins price range.
Idk if this is good or bad. how much does he want???
maybe he's like
eff you guys if you don’t pay me 048r0e830480598320980398 dollahbills, cuz he won’t leave the Giants unless they offer him exactly that amount.

Yeah, I feel like the only way he was leaving, is if a team like that stupidly gave him TONS of money
Now that Miami has backed off of that, he will probably just take less and come back. And BTW, it seems as if SS12 is coming back from the comments on his FB page. He wrote,“Bring Back Plax!.” Why would he write this if he didn’t know he was coming back?
by dwill8brooklynbound on Jul 27, 2011 8:03 PM EDT up reply actions
True
I think alot is probably Rosenhaus whispering in Bradshaw’s ear about saying he’s interested in Miami to up the price

I agree
I’m a Bradshaw proponent but not @ that kind of money

typical Drew Rosenhaus....
this is exactly why he’s NOT the best agent out there.
he turns too many teams off….

SS12 also posted this
Steve Smith
I appreciate all of ur comments on here saying u wanna see me re-sign… trust me when i tell u that the feeling is mutual and that my agent is working on it !!!! in the meantime im just working out and preparing myself to have a great season !!!

Bradshaw wants to stay and wants Plax to come back
by dwill8brooklynbound on Jul 27, 2011 8:25 PM EDT reply actions
read between the lines.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Everything AB does/says until he signs on that dotted line is planned by rosenhaus.
I’m sure AB wants to stay and would love for plax to comeback too, but ya he wants his payday.
sure he does....
didn’t Miami just pull outta the races?
Drew is making AB look like a fool….
and personally, no one buys this stuff anymore….
Cofield went to Washington
Poz went to Jax
these guys wanna get paid….the location is secondary.

Did I just watch a DirectTV commercial with a mini Deion Sanders flying around like a fairy?

BREAKING...Giants signed a RB!
According to MG:
Giants sign rookie free agent RB Keith Payne from Virginia, according to the school
Man things need to pick up, I guess this is just the calm before 6pm…

Apparently...
Miami traded with New Orleans for Bush taking Miami out of the AB race…Good news
Okay here's some VERY UNRELIABLE information from Incarcerated bob
1) Bradshaw will be a giant
2) Steve smith waiting for WR market to heat back up
3) Jets get Asomugha (will be announced early tomorrow)
soooooooo…….lets see how full (or not full) of shit he is.
Who the hell is incarcerated bob?
He sounds like an idiot

a wannabe adam schefter on twitter.
I think most of the his tweets are just educated guesses, but he claims his “sources” (could be a dirty sock for all we know) are reliable. Normally i wouldn’t believe anything he says, but he was dead on and very early breaking the VY deal (24 hrs before it happend) and the ochocinco trade (again atleast 24 hrs before it was announced). He’s been pretty much spot on all during this FA frenzy. So idk really what to think.
