NFL Free Agency 2011: Is There Anyone Left?

Is there anybody left on the free-agent market you would like the New York Giants to bring in? We know many of you have been gnashing your teeth looking for the Giants to try to make some moves, and that watching Kevin Boss and Steve Smith leave was tough to stomach.

By now, of course, most of the big-name free agents are off the market. There still might be some useful players on the market and general manager Jerry Reese said Thursday "we'll continue to try to make our roster stronger."

So, is there anyone currently on the market who can make the Giants stronger? You guys tell me. And no, Randy Moss suggestions are not wanted. He is retired, so let's not go there.

Here's a couple of names. Indianapolis cornerback Kelvin Hayden? Former New England tight end Alge Crumpler?

So, amateur GMs it is your turn. Who would you bring in at this point to bolster the roster.

Lee Evans just got traded to the Ravens for a 4th round pick. Maybe you guys could’ve been interested in him. I think he was a victim of a good player being on a bad team.

He is a pretty decent player

but Reese wants to see the young WR’s get a chance so it was never going to happen.

I vote waiver wire...

particularly at TE… although I want to see Ballard and Bear in action first… WR could be fine.

Also I think S Chinedom Ndukwe could be worth a look as the 4th S… At 6’3", ~220, and with a rough name, he sounds like a Giant

by Raptor22 on Aug 12, 2011 2:55 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

Looks like they took a look at Ndukwe. His brother is on the roster, but he’s also coming off knee surgery.

Trades?

To get somebody good, it’s probably going to be more about trades at this point.

For example, we may be able to pluck a talented TE prospect off the wire after final cuts are made – but we won’t have time to assimilate them into the offense quickly.

Depending on what you’d have to give up, and how valuable that assimilation time would be, you may decide it’s better to part with a mid-round pick. Kinda like we did with Rosenfels/Reynaud last year.

The last thing we need are LB's

I mean the Kiwi signing was just basically another great addition and at this point we have some very talented LB’s and all the depth in the world because most of them can play 2 if not all 3 spots.

I don't know if i agree with

“very talented LB’s” but i hope you’re right!

IMHO they wouldn’t be moving Kiwi over to LB if they felt comfortable with their LB’s. Kiwi has to be a concern in coverage as he hasn’t played the position since 10 games in 2007 and I don’t recall him looking that comfortable in the position. to me, he’s not a lock at that position, he’s an experiment with potential. I also wouldn’t mind giving Kiwi more plays at DE, I like to keep the pass rush fresh & just in case JPP doesn’t progress as quickly as we’d hope or Osi needs some time for his knee.

Coach up Bear and Beckum

The Boss loss was horrible but i think Bear can be our next solid TE with some time and coaching. Beckum can become a dynamic pass cathcher but at 235lbs and his demeanor, he cant play traditional TE for a 3hr game, common sense. He is better served as a blocker and pass catcher from the slot or backfield but he can play some TE as well at times.

S/N: My favorite under the radar signing was Bernard Pollard (s) to the Ravens, i think him and Reed become the one of the top two safety combos nxt to our Miami boys or them boys in black and yellow.

I’d give up a 5th rounder for him (if Lee Evans goes for a 4th…). Or maybe Osi for Nelson and a 2nd.

Hayden would be a nice pickup for you guys.

But for the offensive line, how ’bout Mario Henderson or Nick Kaczur? Nick Kaczur can play both tackle or guard on the line and would be an instant upgrade short term. Henderson would also be a nice addition that could push for the starting job against Beatty?

SMH

You guys are just naming names because of the “3 headed monster” that we have to go up against in Philly? That would be making a move just because another team did and that’s NOT how you run a NFL team. If you’re always chasing what another team is doing then your team will never have its own identity.

This is the first comment I’ve made since the Steve Smith signing and my attitude towards that is Eff Him. He’s now the enemy. That’s how I see him First off, he didn’t even play last season for the majority of the time. First it was the chest injury then he had the knee injury. Manningham was our only receiver that didn’t get injured at all and if you ask me, even facing double and triple coverage towards the end of the season, he did very well. A healthy Nicks with Beckum and another receiver that steps up will do us just fine. Let’s not act like Steve Smith was this All-Pro receiver when we drafted him, no, he benefited from working with Eli just like the rest of these receivers will. I remember after we lost Plaxico and Amani and everyone had questions about our receiving corps and they turned out JUST FINE, Eli actually had his best statistical season that year. I think we’ll be OK.

And as far as Kevin Boss, a few months ago, all of you wanted the Giants to get rid of him anyway. Especially considering he led the league in drops last year. You guys just want something to complain about. That’s the one downside to being a Giants fan, there’s VERY LITTLE faith in this team when things don’t seem to be going our way. Most Giants fans are front runners and that’s sad because we have a damn good team. People are always saying that Reese’s draft picks are busts, yet they never get an opportunity to play.

You guys

are the people that are just throwing out names just to go up against “the three headed monster”.

Also I have to feel that if there were upgrades out there that fit into what we do, we would have made those moves. However, I am a believer that you don’t win Superbowls by signing free agents…you win Superbowls through bringing in your own guys through the draft and getting them used to your organization.

We had SEVEN rookies contribute to our Super Bowl win…that was no accident…

by DaWriter on Aug 12, 2011 4:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

ohhhhh, THOSE guys! :)

anyway we can get better, doesn’t matter to me. The rookies were a huge part of winning, agreed. But I recall some key free agent signees. Pierce, Plaxico, & McKenzie a well as other key members (especially on defense) were essential.

sometimes players get cut, because they don’t work in that scheme or whatever. Might be a match for our scheme or might be a better fit for other reasons. You’re right, that they are usually cut for a reason and odds aren’t good, but sometimes there is potential to get some hungry cheap talent.

Overall, you are 100% correct, it is better to build through the draft and filling in gaps via free agency. Let the Eagles do what they will do, and we’ll beat them in the trenches!

I am really concerned about our safety depth. We seem to have only 3 decent ones, and that includes Sash, the rookie.

Witherspoon I thought

And TT has already said he wants that up close in the slot role from the 3 safety look

"That's mostly fans who say that kind of stuff and they really don't understand the process. We have good players on the team. We're not looking to go out and make every sexy splash that can be made. We make solid football decisions. That's been happening for a long time," Reese said

by trueblue63 on Aug 12, 2011 4:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

Witherspoon is untested and is more of a CB

Grant has experience in the 3-safety system. Not sure I want Sash playing 20-25 snaps week 1 of his career.

TMFS!!!

Will be ready!!!! The kid is a hard worker and a beast hes always in the right spot i read a story about how he shocked the coaches when he identified a sweep and came up from his deep safety spot and crushed the running back they didnt expect a rookie to read the play that well they are impressed

But

If TT moves into thatthird safety role, is Witherspoon ready to move into TT’s corner spot?

Truth... however

the next year in round one vs the birds, when our running game was getting stone walled, and he had to throw thru that wind, he couldnt do…. and it had nothin to do with no burress…. mcnabb was throwin in the same wind and was throwin bullets…. thats what i meant….. not so much the cold, but the wind….cold is cold where a frickin glove and hes fine..

Dwayne Allen

 Well, we’ll have to wait till the draft next year. But I was watching some clips of him at Clemson. I’d love to get him. He could fill that TE spot nicely.
But there isn’t much to pick through in the free agent market at this point.
We’ll probably be scouring the waiver wire in a month looking for a rough gem at cut down day. I think JR rummaging in that bargain basement looking for a gem or at least a useful piece of the puzzle once he gets a sense of our strengths and weaknesses and where we might lack depth.

Go Giants!

by ronjohnson on Aug 12, 2011 4:13 PM EDT reply actions  

The best move

they could make at this point is NONE at all. They need to let ALL of there players that are unproven show what they got. The more street FA’s they sign the less reps the young guys will get. We need to see what we have in Beckum,Goff, Sintim (all rookie FA’s) JJ12 (too soon?) Barden even Ross! So lets find out if we have anyone that will step up, if they dont, get rid of them and we start fresh with even more money under the cap, instead of just holding on to these players like we did with wilkinson Etc.

I’m sure Grant does want to start, but if the season is starting an no one has offered him a contract, he might as well sign with the team where he knows the system. I’d like to see that happen.
The fact that no one has offered Andrews a contract (that I know of) makes me think we can get him for cheap and use him for depth.

although if we know the situation with his back and signed his brother rather than him..it tells me something about how they feel about his prognosis,Grant wants to start?no one even signed him as a backup..if he would accept the 4th S role i would be ok w that.

I think they might invest in a TE in the draft

something in the middle rounds that can do some blocking and some catching.

I doubt they will give big money to a TE when they have so many guys to resign.

by mclaren_is_the_best on Aug 13, 2011 12:09 AM EDT up reply actions  

I am happy with the Giants tight ends,

Bear Pascoe certainly learned how to block last year in his fullback roll. He has good hands and runs well after the catch. He will do well this year. Beckum will prove to be a good receiver in passing downs while Ballard at 275 lbs. can block like a lineman and can also catch the ball. I don’t know what condition Daniel Coats is in but he was always a good blocker but never caught more than 16 passes in a season. Overall, we will have an improved TE group than last year.

I know you said no Moss stuff BUT...

He is the only offensive player the Giants should try to bring out of his lazyboy…..why would one of the greatest ever want last season be his last? like they say you can’t teach 6"5 and great hands. It would get the Giants off the obituary page and be a great end zone threat and still open up the field for Nicks and manningham….I’m just saying.

you never know

There were no stories out of NE that he was anything but a pro, he will still scare a def and make things even easier for Nicks and Mario. The Giants have been on the wrong end of public opinion since FA started. I am not saying to sign him at any cost but if he was willing and convinced the powers on top that he would be a team guy and conduct himself accordingly then I say why not. Besides everyone was high on bringing Plax back and I doubt he would act any worse than he did.
