I will always cherish my time in NY and the super bowl victory.. This was obviously not an easy decision for me or something i ever expected but unfortunately the business aspect proved that the eagles wanted me to be part of their organization MUCH more than the Giants did.. A special thanks to my WR buddies, coach Gilbride, all of u amazing fans on here, and the entire giants organization for drafting me.. Time for a new beginning...

Makes me wonder why guys like smith, bradshaw, boss etc. weren’t offered deals b4 they hit the free agent market….why wait until they are free agents?
Hopefully they won’t do the same with nicks and ham

The 30% rule in effect prior to last year would have made it very tough to extend those guys.

i am so shocked
i have nothing to say about whether i like or hate this right now. lets just say this f***in blows.
I seriously thought this was a joke.
I’ve been following Mike Garafolo’s tweets and I seriously thought he was joking.
Why would he go to the Eagles of all places? I honestly thought he was overrated by a lot of G-Fans, but why the Eagles? Why our biggest rivals?
Damn Steve, this really hurts.
He followed the Money
I really hope he didn’t target the one place that would hurt the most. I would like to think he has more class than that…. I wish him health and i hope he finds his way back in Blue next year, but as far as this year goes… that is all i can wish him
Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.

Money
It was all about the money… He got 1 yr, $4Mil of which $2Mil is guaranteed…. Thats alot for someone who won’t be playing until after week 6, and not even 100 percent. Also, the Giants most likely aren’t enough under the cap to offer him the type of contract he wanted…. I can’t believe he jumped ship to the enemy, but it just goes to show how money talks….
The Giants
didnt feed his ego by giving him a long term deal…. he got a one year deal which is basically a try-out….. in my opinion
Which is why he jumped for a one year deal with Philly
Not buying that.
Yeah, he's helping the Eagles win the east.
3rd and 10…I can see Manningham running an 8 yard route as I type this :(
Quinn must go !!
Man...
Steve Smith always seemed to me such a stand-up guy. and a giant thru and thru. We must’ve have really f-ed him over with a contract to make him want to go to the eagles.

He's dead to me
Call it over the top, but I dont care… just spit in the face of the giants just cuz you are a greedy (expletive) and want 3 new cars instead of 2. Steve Smith, I hope Kenny Phillips has you on his radar. I can’t wait to see you cry in pain as they carry you off the field (that is if you even make it back on this year). Worthless punk
"The Jets signed LT!" "No, LT is retired."
bottom line
he signed with the enemy and chose himself over the team. He ins’t a Giant anymore. He knew the giants wanted him back and he knew he wasn’t ready to come back yet and he knew it would be a while before a deal could get worked out. There is nothing else
"The Jets signed LT!" "No, LT is retired."

Something else is going on here
If the Giants thought he was going to be the same Steve Smith for even half a season, no way would this have happened.
Remember, it wasn’t just microfracture surgery he had. He lost a piece of bone up in the joint, and the cartilage along with it… which all had to be repaired. At the time I remember reading that this was a very rare and serious type of injury. I’ve certainly never heard of anybody having it (or coming back from it) before.
if he even makes it back to the field
"The Jets signed LT!" "No, LT is retired."
I could see if the Eagles gave him a multi year
Deal. But they didn’t, he could have signed a one year deal with us. I hope his knee never recovers. Trader Judas mother effer

Some of your blog members
are denying that. I made that exact point… it is laughable to say otherwise.
We've had our fair share of painful departures
And I can’t say that they were exactly like this one, but very similar. I CAN say, however, that I’ve never in my life seen such vitriol towards a guy for doing nothing wrong. Why do fans think that football players have the same allegiance as they do? it’s so ignorant.
Like Jason said, props to most of you guys. I’m sure a lot of the hatred towards S. Smith is multiplied by the attention the Eagles have been getting this offseason

It was obvious
Some people don’t know how to take a compliment
Seems to me like you're just really relishing the Facebook thing
and are just trying to point it out as much as possible.
I mean
Just added a fresh batch of new hate!
No new racism, but lots more wishing injuries and homophobia!
You just don’t come off as appalled as you’re obviously trying to.
Pretty sure it's appalling
to anyone with eyes and a working heart.
But also, as mentioned in another thread, the comments were important to post to use as a reminder of how not to act when something like this happens. I’m sure if something similar happened again, you would think twice about posting hate-filled rants after reading the comments (not that you did). I know I would.
Plus,
disgusting, racist, foul and awful
is an accurate description whether you are “appalled” by this or not.
"I don’t know whether I prefer Astroturf to grass. I never smoked Astroturf." - Joe Namath
If that's why you think people were posting it
nice rationalization. Just look at the tone. And I wouldn’t have to think twice about anything, and the people who did post probably don’t care.
Racism
Needs to be out of there thats just wrong, period…

I haven’t been following his saga with the Giant’s organization so this came as a huge shock to me. Were you guys expecting him to resign with the Giants?

Who cares that he’s getting more money, he’s a sell out.

for accepting a better job offer. wheeee hyperbole.

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
a non-analogous argument
the giants showed no loyalty to the guys they cut on the first day back from the lock-out. the salary cap requires difficult decisions based on money and risk.
its a simple case of risk> reward, and steve took a better deal. if steve signs a one year deal with the giants and gets cut due to injury and loses any hope of a roster spot, are you also calling the giants disloyal?
I dont believe
That the eagles dont gain information from him, i do think he can add info to any game tap, things they dont know, a lot of things we are going to have to change, audibles and what not, it helps more then you know sir. I am ok with him going for the money but the going to the eagles thing is what makes him disloyal, giants are not disloyal they offered him a deal sorry we dont have eagle loot to hand out.
He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
and so because the giants offered less money
steve should take less out of the goodness of his heart, and show loyalty to a team that would cut his ass in a heartbeat if it benefited them?
No
He do him thats fine, i can still feel jaded. My opinion and i do hear where your coming from, i was just raised different. And have been in his shoes(no where near either side) and i dont feel bad for no one making millions playing the game they love.
He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
You don't pay your wife to hang around
so that is rather flawed. Business decision, no doubt the Giants were not offering as much guaranteed or total money.
lol
you dont know my wife
He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

Sorry, but this obviously isn’t sitting too well with me.

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
I honostly don't think he'll be that big a factor especially with jerrel,
With that being said, it’s more of a symbol of him being a true, perfect giant, then going to the enemy

It's not necessarily losing him that bothers me
I wasn’t expecting much out of him this year either way. Like I said on the ESPN NFC East thread, the Eagles essentially threw $2 million in a fireplace for a player that probably won’t be ready until midway through the season, and even then, he’ll be limited.
It’s the fact that he signed with Philadelphia. This is how I said I would feel if Plax went there. It’s not so much what he does or doesn’t do on the field…it’s that he signed with our most hated rival. It probably sounds petty, but oh well. Like Plax, I refuse to wish him well.
The NFL and NFLPA? They can kiss my ass, OK? They can line up and kiss my ass.
I'm with ya on this one
It hurts seeing him to go to the archrival. To me, far more than seeing Plax as a Jet (I just don’t hate the Jets, sorry, they’re like the goofy little brother than makes a lot of noise, eventually gets smacked in the mouth, and goes back into their corner, but are entertaining in the meantime). I’ll never root for Smith again and while I don’t wish further injury on him, I wouldn’t mind seeing him on the receiving end of some vicious, legal hits from the big blue D.
And if the Giants
thought he was healthy enough, they would have not only matched what the Eagles offered, but probably would have thrown in more. Do we really think the Eagles’ doctors know more about his condition than the Giants’ do?
So anyone saying that this is Reese’s fault for “letting Smith go”…please save it.

we can't make any decision
until we see him play.
took KP a whol year to come back and now he says he is healthy. And he was put on IR Sept 09 and will hopeuflly be ok Sep 2011.
smith was out in dec 2010 so he might not be healthy for a long time.
Not just KP

Victor Cruz
As a Western Massachusetts resident who saw what Victor Cruz can do on a football field at UMASS and what he did last year in camp I am confident that by the third or fourth week we will have forgotten about Steve Smith and Plaxico. He will be that good. And remember, we also have Nicks, Manningham & Michael Clayton, who was a second round pick and has learned his lesson about work ethics..
Cruz for sure.

As angry as I am that he picked Filthadelphia, I can't blame him
The Giants must’ve been crazy to think they could just sit around and wait on a top tier receiver, even if he’s hurt. They must know something we don’t.
Anybody hear how much
I am hearing 4 mil with 2 mil gaurunteed. If thats the case as much as I love SS12 we just can’t throw that kind of money at him, especially coming back from that kind of injury. SS12 will be on the field this year but he won’t be his old self.

by Raptor22 on Aug 10, 2011 8:46 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
It depends on
the value of the contracts and the amount of playing time/starts they get.
And the idea of extra 3rd or 4th round picks doesn’t really make me feel any better….

What I don't get
Is why he’d want to be in Philly long term? It’s not like they’d let him supplant DJ or Maclin, so he’s basically a #3 at best… He could easily start on at least a half dozen teams out there, some with potential to be good in a year or two (TB, I’m looking at you).
I just don’t get what could appeal to him for going to Philly… well, except the $$$
Honestly I think that's where he fits best.
He can be the best slot receiver in the league. Remember 2007?
I agree that's where he FITS best
but if you’re him, don’t you want to start? Don’t you want a chance to catch 100 passes again? Don’t you want to prove you’re an elite WR?
It's a 1 year deal
As much as it kills me to say this, I think he signed to try and win a championship.
The immaturity on this thread
Is unfortunately not surprising. Blame Reese,
Not smith for leaving. The 2011 giants have
Shown very little enthusiasm in signing players
We tend to think they should. Perhaps thenfront office knows a thing or two we don’t, or perhaps they’re stupid,‘or perhaps into a ’’screw this season, let’s rebuild’ mind set. Either way, any way you cut it, this is on giants mgmt. Let smith do what is right for smith.

I agree not to blame Smith
He has every right to sign with whomever he wants.
I won’t miss him though.

The 2011 Mets- Rock bottom: We haven't reached it yet
He's not big
he’s not fast, he has a bad habit of the dropsies when he’s wide open for a huge gain. Not trying to discredit his great seasons for us, but there are plenty of WR’s who have equal hands and route-running, and far more upside in size and speed. He had a great rapport with Eli, was a stud on 3rd down, but lacks the “wow” factor.
I've always given reasons
People just don’t want to read my posts. After the first line, they just overreact and stop reading.

There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2011 Mets- Rock bottom: We haven't reached it yet
Yes
From May 2010:
His stats notwithstanding I see Smith as a glorified slot WR. He’s great at getting first downs but he has a terrible YAC average. He doesn’t draw double teams unless it’s third down. He can’t outrun you. He can’t out-jump you. He can’t out-muscle you.
1. Nicks
2. Manningham
3. Smith
4. Barden
Plenty of WRs could do what Smith did for the Giants. Plenty. I have always felt that Giants fans overrated him.
Giants fans love to bring up his 107 receptions. He had his big year by default. He was the most experienced WR on a team that had lost both its #1 and #2 WRs. The run game was bad with injuries to the O-line, Hedgecock, and Jacobs. The defense was giving up a ridiculous amount of points and the Giants were always down, which means they had to pass to catch up.

LOL how quick they turn, do you hear your self, you say "His stats notwithstanding I see Smith as a glorified slot WR"
Then you go on to prove exactly whe he is not by saying;
“He’s great at getting first downs”
“He doesn’t draw double teams unless it’s third down”

I didn’t just say this.

I don’t want the Giants killing their cap just to bring back a guy that will be coming off microfracture surgery.

Come on guys....
let’s keep it real. When healthy, and he will be healthy again, Smith is a valuable weapon. We didn’t call him 3rd and Smith for nothing. The Birds did a wise thing. Come week 7 or 8, Vick will have Djack, Jmac, and now a clutch 3rd down reciever. Their recieving corps is stronger with a healthy Smith while our corps takes a blow to the chin. We have to find a guy to step in and take his place.
Quinn must go !!
will he be healthy this year?
is the question.

Let's get off the loony wagon, here
SS12 was a posession receiver who was marginalized by better outside targets last year, even before the injury. I loved the guy on our team as much as anybody, but let’s call a pig a pig, for sanity sake. His 100+ catches were as much a testament to the lack of other options as it was to his excellence. Excellent route runner, always where Eli thought he would be, but that wasn’t enough when Nicks and Manningham were making deeper catches and YAC. SS12 rarely got very far after getting his hands on the ball, mostly going to the ground.
The one exceptional thing he did was getting past the 1st down marker a good part of the time and that wasn’t the case last year. We’ll be fine. Stop yer crying. Nicks, Manningham, Cruz, Hixon, Jernigan and hey, heck, even Reynaud is having a great camp. Wanna bet that Bear becomes more than just a blocking TE? I’m taking odds.
Bleeding Blue since 1962
Good points
What sticks out in my mind is his big drops when he did go long.
He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
I didn't even have to mention the injury OR the drops last year to make my point.
Reality has a way of sobering even the punch drunk
Bleeding Blue since 1962
Naw
ill take Gilbrides word, one of the best inside WR’s in the NFL. lets not dwn play his importance because if he stayed, no one would be talking like this, sound like a bunch of ex girlfriends lol, he was very very very good for us, but he moved on, no issues, someone else will have an oportunity but im not going to down play SS12.

smart man, I think Bear is our TE….. he is the best at both and he is the size of a Giants TE, Beckum cannot be a traditional TE for a 3 hr game, he is best blocking from the slot and backfield.

This just feels like a great big middle finger from the eagles FO.
“Its not enough to seemingly sign every big free agent on the market, but, F it, we’re going to steal away a rival team favorite just because we can.”
they haven’t even given design jackson a new contract yet! This makes no business sense, it seems just like a pre-season victory lap.

Good luck to Steve Smith. One of my fave Giants receivers ever

My sentiments exactly. One of the classiest guys on the team and definitely my favorite NYG WR of all time(I’m under 30). Hurts like hell to see him on the Eagles. But last I checked they don’t have a SB victory and we wouldnt have had our last one if not for some great 3rd down conversions by SS12. Best of luck to a classy guy. (when he isn’t playing big blue)

I'll miss SS12
Here’s the thing. I will miss him as much for the class act that he always was while he was here. Very gracious to fans and a great team guy. However, he may never be anywhere near what he once was because of the injury. Reese obviously doesn’t think he will. And I hate the Eagles as much as anyone but it’s business and SS has to treat himself as his own business and make it as profitable as possible. Who knows, maybe this 2MM guaranteed is the last $ he makes as a football player. I hoped there would be more class from the readers here but I understand I’m sour too. I’ll miss Steve, and I’ll route for Kenny Smith to blow his ass up(legally). Go Big Blue!

I can't get worked up about this
They guy had microfracture surgery in December. With DJ, Maclin and Avant (who Reid just called the best slot receiver in the NFL), it will take injuries for him to even see a marginal role, and besides, he’s not playing until week 6 at the earliest.
If Reese thought they couldn’t live without him, they’d sign him. But Week 1 will come and the offense will do just fine. Then weeks 2-6, and not a word from Steve Smith. Then Week 7 and he still might not be active. I think this will be a pretty nothing signing.
HE’S INJURED. Thanks for the help in 42. Good luck with the knee.
