Report: Brian Williams To Sign With Giants

PrintThe New York Giants will sign 32-year-old Brian Williams, a nine-year veteran, to bolster their depleted crew of cornerbacks. The news was first reported by Mike Garafolo of the Star-Ledger, and has since been confirmed by several other beat writers.
Williams spent the last two seasons as a reserve with the Atlanta Falcons, appearing in all 16 games. Only once in nine-year career has Williams played in fewer than 14 games. That was in 2009. Williams has played for Minnesota, Jacksonville and Atlanta and has 19 career interceptions.
Pro Football Focus rated Williams -3.7 in 2010. PFF shows that Williams was thrown at 22 times, with 18 passes completed (81.8 percent).
The Giants reportedly worked out four cornerbacks today at the Timex Performance Center. Veterans D're Bly and Lito Sheppard were reportedly included in the group, but Williams was the choice. Obviously, this is not a perfect scenario but Williams is a veteran player who knows what he is doing and he should be able to pick up Perry Fewell's defense quickly enough to help early in the season.

I’m still hoping DJ Johnson and Will Blackmon get called.
Also, I want to see what happens with the waiver wire.
Will Blackmon
I played with that guy in highschool. Probably the fastest person I have ever met. Too bad injuries have derailed his career.

What was the reason we didn't work out Hayden?
Was it he was asking too much money, which seems ridiculous since he’s still a FA at this point, or is he hurt?

Hayden
Refused to come and work out. He wanted more money than the Giants were willing to pay, so he wasn’t trying out.

could it be the GMen didn't want to offer big money because he's still hurt?

hurt and wants too much
but he’s a name brand, so sign him to a 10 year deal

yea they had 5 mil
Even though Grant’s contract is still undisclosed, last figure I saw, the Giants cap was 126.3 out of 130 mil. So Grant got 1.3 if that’s right, so they only have 3.7 left. That’s not a lot of wiggle room.

Yup,
Not much out there in terms of a top notch corners, I am just saying we have a better chance at him than we would have of the Eagles trading Samuels within the division to us.

His contract is up after 2011
and it has been speculated that the eagles will trade him for the right price since they now have 3 highly paid Corners.

U know how u can think of other ppls teams and immediately come up with players who deserve a good check. Aside from Eli Rolle and Tuck (who’s underpaid) who the F on this team deserves the Check???

Let’s see what the Eagles do with DeSean Jackson. You know that contract negotiation could blow up.
Team Ghost: Manningham, Sintim, Beckum, Barden, JPP, Anvil, Ross
Aside From the 07 DRAFT
In which JR got extremely luckier than my greatly overweight cousin losing his virginity @ age 26 (I though he’d never lose it), what great GM things has JR done??? He inherited all the players Ernie Acorsi acquired. Then he sprinkled in a few of his own. Deactivated plax for the 08 playoffs when he still couldve played after he recovered from the bullet wound. He let James Butler walk (sarcasm), signed a whole bunch of mediocre free agents b4 the 09 season. And his best picks were Nicks, ham TT KP (maybe) and beatty remains to be seen. I’m gettin fed up with his cheap A**
by AHoustonGiant on Aug 24, 2011 6:35 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
You mentioned three good draft picks yourself.
KP, we’ll see this year but he did have talent pre-injury.
All Reese did in 2008 and 2009 was lock up a good portion of our nucleus to long term deals BEFORE they got to FA.
Tuck, Snee, Jacobs, Eli, Deihl, Seubert, and CWeb. That’s pretty damn good right there, wouldn’t you say? There’s more.
I did a Fanpost about this not too long ago. Maybe you could look it up. I’m not trying to be arrogant by saying “go look up my post,” I just figured since you are a Giants fan you may want to see some hard evidence that we have an outstanding GM.
Because IMO, if you don’t have faith in your GM, you may as well quit rooting. In today’s NFL, you’re GM better be the MVP of the team.
I will be at the season opener NYG @ WAS with a few friends. If you are going and feel like looking up a fellow BBVer and having some fun, let me know.
Dont get me wrong
When it comes to draft picks he has always done well with need. But i just dont know man i think he wasted a lot of money trying to bolster the defense with what i believe are mediocre players in 09. Canty i hope has a big year and eats up blockers again for us. But im just getting the feeling that he’ s ehhhhhhh so-so you know. he signed Tuck to a very team friendly deal. And you see i didnt mention Snee b/c he’s (according to me and madden) our best player. But like i mentioned he didnt bring those guys in. He just locked em up. Once someone gives u a nice car yeah u should be able to drive it and maintain it if u didnt have to purchase it. And if you dont know C-Web is due 11mill next year so he’ll likely be asked to take a paycut or get cut. but signing canty, bernard, and boley to big long term deals not addressing our safety position correctly in 09 along with that. And what 2 good players from the 09 draft while the rest are gone or cant get on the field to produce. I have legitimate claims here i aint blowing smoke
by AHoustonGiant on Aug 24, 2011 9:48 PM EDT up reply actions
I like his track record and results.
We have not had a losing season since he has taken over as GM.
You probably know this, but he was the Director of Scouting for the Giants before he became GM. I believe since 2001.
So every player drafted by Ernie Accorsi during that time had Jerry Reese written all over them.
I will be at the season opener NYG @ WAS with a few friends. If you are going and feel like looking up a fellow BBVer and having some fun, let me know.
And he was a damn good scout before that....
anyone on this blog that doesn’t think JR is top 5 gm is crazy or uninformed, imo…
In Reese I Trust.

Not just because he is a Giant, but because of his track record.

Reese as a scout put in word about Webster, Osi and Tuck.
Thank this guy.
So what's the Giants' reaction to the Eagles being called "The Dream Team"?

Williams was thrown at 22 times, with 18 passes completed (81.8 percent).

by Late for Dinner on Aug 24, 2011 5:44 PM EDT up reply actions
Depends on what those completed passes were...
They might all be short completions, with no points allowed.
Or they could all be monster touchdown bombs, like CC’s were.
Not enough data or film on the guy to make a judgement, really.
he was the nickel back for the team with a #1 seed
granted every team has crappy players but I doubt the Falcons go very far with a terrible nickel corner
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
You Saw What Happen In that game right
The Packers look like they were just running plays in warm-ups with no D. And I think he was their dime but got promoted when their nickel went down. I believe that’s what the announcer said that game

he wasn't playing them in the playoffs
during the regular season when the teams played the Packers did nothing against the Falcons.

You are absolutely correct sir
I so he was the one who got hurt and some other magnificent professional nfl caliber cornerback took his place and got BAKED. I stand corrected sir. But he probably wouldve been apart of that difficult dismantling of the Falcons

Well he did play 16 games last year and seems to stay healthy
so its fine, I guess
Ryan Miller was the true MVP. See my profile for rant.
last 2 seasons
I think it means 16 total…. Question is, is he better than Coe and Burnett and I’d guess better than at least one of em
You're better than Coe and Burnett
They got lots of action on Monday and didn’t look like they could cover anybody. But Williams doesn’t seem like much of a prize.
by Tucker Fredrickson on Aug 24, 2011 6:06 PM EDT up reply actions
So we picked the cheapest one of the bunch.....
or I could take a positive view and that we picked the one that fit out scheme the best.
I have the feeling that JR is saving some funds because he believes a big name will be cut during preseason.
Please get Phil Simms in the Hall of Fame
Well all the guys who were invited had to be willing to take league minimum
I think you’re right about them wanting some cap space free to make a move after final cuts.
Is he better than Coe?
Probably not. At least we get some depth though.

Game changing move
We should go 16-0 now.
Here’s an idea to make room under the salary cap. Cut Boley. He’s the most overpaid LB in the league.
Worked him out with Dry Bly and Lito Sheppard
Slim pickings out there, I suppose if anybody cuts a good DB when teams must get down to the 53 we will be all over them.

He is an average linebacker. That's all. Should the giants restructure his deal? Absolutely.
But the sand fact is, he has been our best Linebacker for a couple of years. But we have hope. Last Monday’s game was the first time in a long time I have seen some of our young LBerzz seem like they can actually play in this league.
So if Boley won’t restructure, go with the young guns!
Boley is tied for 23rd highest paid LB in league $3,500,000 base salary
He makes the same as Bradie James. He makes slightly less than Lance Briggs and slightly more than Stephen Tulloch. Is he worth it?
Absolutely
I don’t know where people are getting this idea that he’s overpaid. He was asked to play SAM last year. In 2009 he had to defensive calls because AP was hurt and Goff was too inexperienced. If he’s put at WILL and isn’t ask to do someone else’s job, he’ll be very good for us.
Team Ghost: Manningham, Sintim, Beckum, Barden, JPP, Anvil, Ross
I agree he's in about the right range looking at the list.
I did laugh when I saw that Zak DeOssie makes more than Clay Matthews though.
Why make the extra cap room if you can't spend it at a time like this?
They didn’t even bring Hayden in. I know Grant and now Williams give them that Veteran warm and fuzzy feeling, but these 30+ players were not signed for a reason. At least bring in the best guy out there and see if he’s worth the money.
Bandaid meet hole

He refused to come in and work out for the Giants. They asked, but his price tag is too high.

wrote this above but here goes again...
“Multiple sources said the Bears decided not to sign the cornerback after Hayden visited training camp and took a physical Monday.”
Let's Go Giants!!!!
I cannot believe we can't even sign a half assed DB due to cap...
are they kidding me?? someone needs to explain to me why we can’t sign anyone, and Philly lands 4 of 5 top vets!…might be time for Eli to restructure?? what do you think? Jacobs did it……..so we could sign Bradshaw…
We don’t have a bonafide TE, no LB of notoriety…i see we don’t need Chase Blackburn apparently (I can live with that….i hope Paysinger and Herzlich make the cut)….so WHERE is all the money? OL? hardly………we cut Shane Andrews, who i really thought could be a player here, so we got his Bro…Stacy……so where did all the money go? Nicks was already signed…..Manningham isnt making that much money…Cruz and the rest are bargain basement cost…..
I predict about 10-12 rookies make this team…further making me wonder who’s making all the money? (Eli)…………. how about a little help here??
Its kinda obvious
that you haven’t paid any attention to what John Mara has said about having players restructure. Doing it now will only hurt you in the long run. But noooo…so many people just want to think of the short term and not the big picture.
by Well-Rounded Cube on Aug 24, 2011 6:16 PM EDT up reply actions
No...its kinda obvious i ain't buying it.....
how’s it gonna feel if Plax has a great year on our own turf and Smith comes back and catches about 10 balls against us, in the early winter…just because we couldnt offer them a couple mil cause all our money was tied up in one guy??? You know Smith and Plax both made Eli look real good somedays. And we are still under the cap….so i don’t get it. I am not upset about Boss. I think he was concussion bound every year, so sooner or later he will be a non factor on any team (hurt already). I think we need better CAP lawyers…and better accountants…
Plax, Smith, Bradshaw, Osi and Kiwi are all impact players (if healthy). There is a core of players a GM or management must say we can’t let walk. I personally think Osi should just play by his own signed contract, at the same time, it would be foolish to let him sit out or walk…
also…this is not a rebuilding year for us. We were one punt return away from playoffs. this team is competitive now. I understand SMith may not be ready for game one, but never in my mind did i think they’d play hardball with him over what i consider is little money…
Sorry
While you do have to spend money to make money, in this league the more consistent teams are the ones that aren’t always spending as much as they can to sign some flashy player. What the Giants have mostly built here is a stable of players where if they work as a team toward the common goal, they can definitely succeed.
If you still believe that Plaxico would have come back to the Giants even if we matched whatever offer the other teams had, you may be living in a pipe dream. I’m going to miss the hell out of what Steve Smith does, but we have too many different promising players to have to sacrifice a spot on the roster for someone who needs probably half the season to heal and then try to get back to 100%. The game of football is actually a business. If you tie yourself too much to one individual player, you’re going to get heartbroken almost every time. It is the team’s responsibility to make sure that there is someone waiting in the wings to try and fill that spot as capably as the player before them.
Kiwi is actually a prime example of somebody waiting in the wings to fill a spot. He was supposed to be the DE behind Osi, as everyone could damn well see Osi’s spot has been in danger since the injury and now the contract situation. Osi is not a player you break the bank for.
The Giants aren’t perfect, but they have been consistent when they have competent coaching and front office working together. This last decade we’ve been rather spoiled and still fans want more.

+1 You got to position yourself boys....
“There are some very, very talented players coming into this league through the draft, through free agency, and the easy thing to do is to bring in the most talented players whether they fit or don’t fit. You can win that way, no question about it.”
“But,” Pioli says, “the key is sustainability. Do you want to build a team that will win once and then implode? I don’t think that’s the job. The job is to make the difficult decisions so you can build the kind of team that can be in position to win every single year.”
In Reese I Trust.

Don't forget Boss, just because he left doesn't mean he wasn't a good JR draft pick
Cofield, TT, Ham, Goff, Beatty’s starting LT, JPP at DE, Kehl’s a starter for St. Lou, Alford was on his way to being a star before injuries killed him, DeOssie is a ST guy, but a starter nonetheless, Koets is still on the team, the jury’s still out on the last couple seasons.
Seriously, WTF are you talking about?
Plax' career was in jeopardy before he came to the Giants
why did Eli need him so bad all of a sudden?

saving money
A while ago I started playing basketball fairly regularly, so much so that I needed to buy a pair of shoes. Well, I didn’t want to spend $125 on shoes so i went with a cheap pair of converse for $35.
This lead to back problems because they were not cushioned well at all, one trip to the Chiropractor $25 copay. So I decided to order a pair of shoes online, went with the least expensive site selling Air Jordans $50.
They were knockoffs, with no cushioning, back to the chiropractor $25 copay x2. Then I smartened up and got the $125 pair, played out the rest of the season without issue.
Point of the story.. ya get what ya pay for. Rarely are there exceptions to this rule, I feel the Giants may be back in the FA Corner market before too long.
You down wit JPP?
I agree with you in theory but...
what do you do when your $125 pair of shoes gets stolen. You go shoe shopping only to find out that every shoe of any quality is sold out until next year. Oh, and by the way, you may have $2000 in your bank account but your team has told you that your shoe budget for the season could not exceed $300. What do you do now?

your mom goes to college
about the cap, and the eagles
As to the bitching above about the team being cheap and "how come the Eagles can do it?"
First, cap is approx 125.6 MM. As to how the Eagles had cap room, they had almost no vets making big (or even average money) at the start of FA. See the P. King article here for both facts: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/peter_king/08/08/tour/index.html.
As to why we didn’t, look around the team. QB, 2 RBs, some older wily vets on the OL, relatively pricey vets on D (Tuck, Canty, Boley, Rolle, Osi). Four million here, three million there, and pretty soon we’re talking about real money. I suspect this is one part of the reason for JR’s drive to get younger and see what they’ve got in the last couple years’ drafts. You can’t always sign Boleys and Cantys and Rolles at somewhat inflated prices. We didn’t have cap room this year because we went after guys in previous years and it finally left us with no room.
Ramses Barden is getting closer to returning
NJ.com:
C Adam Koets had arthroscopic knee surgery because his surgically-repared knee (from last season’s torn ACL) was not recovering at the speed Koets hoped. Koets is on the PUP list and so is WR Ramses Barden, who was running full-speed on the side. He looked very, very good there.
Team Ghost: Manningham, Sintim, Beckum, Barden, JPP, Anvil, Ross
Barden needs to show something
so the Giants don’t put him on regular season PUP.

More CBs
TC was quoted as saying: “Brian Williams, that’s one,” Coughlin said, hinting that the team could sign another cornerback. “He’s a veteran, he knows how to play, he has been a good, physical blitzer. We needed somebody who can learn some things real quick and go from there.”
Hopefully we do sign at least one more. Realistically we now have 3 corners (not counting Coe or the other clown who wouldn’t have even made the team 4 days ago)
I hope we bring in Lito Sheppard – he’s got plenty of experience playing in the NFC East and I think that adds a little to the mix.

My guess would be...
That Reese is getting Williams for the last CB spot on the roster, and didn’t really think anybody that was out there was what he wanted. Thus, he does get a body in camp, learning the system and one good enough to stay on the roster, but saves his cap dollars for a better player when the cuts come.
Can't agree more
Reese is trying to stay flexible until the cuts. Also isn’t there some rule guaranteeing a veteran salary if signed before week 1. We could be waiting to move on higher priced vets after game 1….

LB Kenny Ingram was waived to make room for this
I hadn’t seen that before.
Not shock, really, given the crowd of LB options and heady competition. Our 53 man roster projections had him to the practice squad while we try to agree on whom to keep (Boley, Goff, Sintim, Paysinger, Jones, Herzlich, Tracy?), but now we at least know officially Ingarm is out of the mix.
I think of all the candidates, Paysinger made him most expendable as Boley’s likely backup. Jaquian Williams can cover and has done some special team things right but he’s small enough that a decent block can swat him aside pretty handily, so my guess is he gets to the practice squad. Dillard could still be in the running of course as a higher draft pick but Jones’ development as a potential MIKE backup puts him in some danger.
So, assuming they sign another CB, who’s the next to get cut to make room?
"Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."
thats actually good news
waiving a player to make room means they didnt IR TT or Spoon. If that’s the case maybe they’re hoping they pull a “Woodson” & come back by late season.

Agreed.
All the others are virtual locks, and Barden is making the team, there is no if and, or buts about it. That leaves Clayton out.

If those reports are accurate that Barden was running full speed
He’ll probably come off PUP before the regular season. If he’s running full speed now, he definitely won’t be out until week 6, so one would assume he’ll be back sooner rather than later.

I think a bunch of the UDFA rookies like. . .
Tarrant, Sims, will be in the first group.
I’ll take a shot at some top candidates for first cut, in no particular order:
1. Abdulai (DT)
2. Clouser (G)
3. King (T)
4. Marshall (DE)
5. Sims (S)
6. Tarrant (S)
7. Trattou (DE)
8. Watkins (WR)
9. Hopkins (TE)
10. Lloyd (K)
11. Ndukwe (G)
12. Okpokowuruk (DE)
13. Perrilloux (QB)
14. Charles Scott (RB)
15. White (G)
There could be others shortly after, especially as JR looks at the waiver wire for TE and CB options.
"Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."
also, they could IR Marvin Austin any time, I guess
and the fact they haven’t yet says to me they want to pray a bit longer.
"Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."
i think this is about right
with one exception. I might hang onto Trattou. He may even make the team over Tolly. We all love Tolly & his motor but he just doesnt have`the skills unfortunately.
Nobody wins the SB in August
Talk is Cheap! Play the Game!
could be, though he's light at 255#
And Tolly is listed at 266#.
Neither is explosive and both will have to make the squad as ST players. Tolly seems to be in on every ST down played, and with his greater size, and with the team’s comfort plugging him in for emergency duty with his knowledge of the playbook, my guess is he has the edge over Trattou.
Trattou is just a bit on the small side for a DE, though they’re both listed at 6’4".
That said, I’d bet they try to stash him on PS to see if he develops and maybe adds some muscle.
"Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."
everything u say is true
theyre both small for DEs but it seemed to me that JR didnt want Tolly back at all until Osi started playing the baby. He didnt sign till after the drama so I think they were trying to move on from him as a part of the Youth Movement. Its just a theory & we wont know for sure till next week.

yeah I had to think a few times about that one
Coughlin has praised him and while my offense/defense plit is pretty even it’s heavy on DE’s.
Then again, so is the roster.
But as I look over the roster, not sure who I’d put ahead of Okpokowuruk for the first 15 or so.
"Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."
Ok is the man
Loved how on that late 4th and goal, he got the double team, second guy slammed him from the side, and he still held his ground for 2 seconds, long enough to leave the RB with nowhere to go but into Jones.

I gotta believe Ingram was just a straight up cut.
He wasn’t cut to make room for Williams, he was cut because he isn’t going to make the team. They have to get down to 75 players in 6 days, so why not start now, instead of having to cut 15 players on one day.

Reese could be protecting our comp pick
As of right now, I believe we are in line to get a 4th for losing Cofield. We could lose the comp pick by signing someone for more than ~$1 million.

Each player signed cancels a player lost
Players cut by their former team and those making near the league minimum do not count.
Players are compared based upon salaries. Advantage goes to the team losing more players. So Cofield was $6 mil, Baas $5 mil, Boss $4 mil, Baas cancel Boss instead of Cofield. Thank God. Because Cofield is a likely 4th, Boss a 6th.

Honestly for me, i don’t know much about the guy except he was the odd man out with the signing of Dunta Robinson and emergence of Brent Grimes. Hope he can come here, learn the playbook fast and be a solid contributer however Fewell wants to use him.

There's some 2009 anger there
They lost a bunch of CBs in 2009 like we have this year. But Williams played in 16 games last year. We have often seen a player take a full year to recover from injury.
