Released Players Of Interest: Joselio Hanson, Reggie Corner

Saturday was all about reaching the 53-man roster limit for the New York Giants and the rest of the teams around the NFL. Today is all about roster adjustments, as teams will be looking over the waiver wire for just-released players to add to both their 53-man rosters and practice squads.

Let's begin today by dispensing with the morning notebook and getting right into a look at some of the free agents who might draw the Giants' attention.

Star-divide

Veterans

Joselio Hanson, CB, Philadelphia -- With their glut of big-name cornerbacks the Eagles released Hanson, a six-year veteran (five with Philly). Hanson, 30, had been the Eagles' nickel corner. ESPN called him "an extremely effective nickel corner." The Giants could use one of those.

Reggie Corner, CB, Buffalo -- The 27-year-old four-year veteran played for Perry Fewell in Buffalo. Another smallish nickel corner type who could be useful to the Giants.

Perrish Cox, CB, Denver -- Talented, but troubled second-year corner was let go by the Broncos. Worth a flier?

Veteran Tight Ends -- Take your pick here. A slew of them hit the waiver wire. Desmond Clark from Chicago? Joey Haynos from Jacksonville? You tell me if there is anybody out there you like.

Rookies

These guys would likely be practice squad signees, though a couple would be intirguing additions to the 53-man roster.

Lee Smith, TE, New England -- Loved this kid for the Giants when I did a prospect profile on him prior to the 2011 NFL Draft. Profiles as a classic blocking tight end, and we know the Giants could use one of those.

Kendric Burney, CB, Carolina -- Burney is another guy I profiled prior to the draft, and a guy who played well against the Giants in a preseason game. Might fit as a nickel guy in a zone scheme, which is largely what the Giants run.

David Mims, OT, Kansas City -- Massive offensive tackle prospect who went to the Chiefs as a UDFA and played well, but could not crack the roster. BBV Prospect profile.

There are lots of other guys out there -- veterans and rookies -- who might draw interest from Jerry Reese. I did not put safety Brandon Meriweather on the list because he will be expensive, and safety is not a need position. Who do you like and why?

Lee Smith

For me, at least trying to bring him in is a no-brainer.

by Ed Valentine on Sep 4, 2011 8:40 AM EDT up reply actions  

I'd prefer Andre Smith over Lee

About the same weight, a little heavier than Lee and a couple inches shorter which makes for better leverage. Also was primarily a blocking tight end but seems to be more of an athlete than Lee with more upside as a pass catcher.
Here’s a link to his pro day number which are almost Identical to Kevin Boss’s combine numbers from ’07 and we drafted him in the 5th round (granted he had way more production than Andre):

I wouldn't mind getting

either of the two feautured in your headline, Ed. We need help there. Corner could fit in right away, having played for Fewell. I’d like to see Lee Smith as well. What do we have to lose by giving the kid a try?

Nothing, George

I am guessing that the Giants won’t be the only team ringing up the guy’s agent today.

Somebody would have to get get cut, right?

That’s what you have to lose. So, you gotta be pretty sure he’s the guys you want.

Sidenote: Perrish Cox is a player of interest all right – to the police! His alleged criminal transgression, alleged, is pretty terrible. I am a little surprised you included him in this piece, Ed.

Perry Cox, from Scrubs?

"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.

Cox?

I just put him in there as a guy to discuss. As for Lee Smith, you don’t lose anybody if you add him to the practice squad — you only have to cut players to add somebody to the 53.

by Ed Valentine on Sep 4, 2011 1:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

If you're bringing in a corner...

Rosenfels

what is the deal putting him on IR? That means he can’t play this year? Does his salary count towards the cap? How, if at all does this help the Giants?

by Cruz Control on Sep 4, 2011 8:57 AM EDT reply actions  

He could be that injured-ill enough

And knowing that Carr is only on a 1 year deal, might feel he could beat him out next year for the back-up spot. This is pure speculation. If he is not sick-injured enough to miss the whole season, it does hamstring him a bit, as he would not be able to sign with another team. The back-up QB to Eli is a fairly cooshy job in the NFL. If Peyton does not play week 1, I think Eli takes over for the most consecutive starts by an ACTIVE QB in the NFL.

by CCE718 on Sep 4, 2011 9:00 AM EDT up reply actions  

So

we’re tying him up in case we need him next year, but does his $$$ count towards this years cap?

by Cruz Control on Sep 4, 2011 9:03 AM EDT up reply actions  

Not sure if the money does not count towards the cap

I am 90% sure that his salary does count towards the cap, someone can correct me if I am wrong. But, in pure speculation, Rosenfels could have agreed to this if he knew he could not play at all this year and it gives him a shot at next year. It could be a favor to him and protects the team with a bona fide back-up if Carr leaves after his 1 year contract is up.

Sage's contract is up as well

Hamstring?

How does putting Sage on IR hamstring him? He is getting paid 3million by the Giants this year to do nothing but sit around and watch them play. You think he could get a better deal somewhere else in the league? I mean, he’s definitely not getting a shot anywhere to be a starter…

by NYStateofMind on Sep 5, 2011 2:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

Most likely

Rosenfels will wind up eventually getting released with an injury settlement. Then, another team could pick him up and he could play this year. This is one of those odd moves because he is healthy enough to play, apparently.

by Ed Valentine on Sep 4, 2011 9:12 AM EDT up reply actions  

Thanks for the explanation Ed

Keeps me from continuing to speculate.

+1

Desmond Clark is a nice solid veteran who could come in right away and start over the current class of clowns.

by Manningologist on Sep 4, 2011 10:01 AM EDT up reply actions  

Someone else is gonna have to be cut to make room for whoevers picked up. TE is the weakest link by far. I hope that's where the focus is.

And could someone help me underdstand the Ware over Brown decision? Think back to Ware in game 3 and Brown in 4 and it’s like night and day???

Knowing the GIANTS, I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that they knew they were cutting Brown before Thursday’s game and just let him show off his talent to other teams.

by NY17NE14 on Sep 4, 2011 9:06 AM EDT reply actions  

That would be darn classy

That would be the kind of move I’d be very happy to hear… But I don’t think they are that nice. You only get so many snaps in preseason. Giving 21 runs to a guy “just to be nice” is a little nicer than I’d want to be.

Brown

I have no issue with him getting the carries at all, I just don’t think they were given to him “to be nice and showcase him for others”. I think they were his for evaluation purposes of him, and the entire running game as a whole.

by ross_stephen on Sep 4, 2011 9:37 AM EDT up reply actions  

I think AB had a spot on the 53

Till Scott showcased that ridiculous explosiveness

It’s not just his speed, it’s that he knows how fast he needs to be. It takes guts to run right past the return man, he gave the guy the angle, and just smoked him. That and he has that gear to distance guys when he gets the corner. Scott’s raw and he might not have the tools to do it from the line of scrimmage against the big boys, but he passed his first test with an A+.

Color me excited to see him again during the season.

"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 Sep 4, 2011 9:43 AM EDT up reply actions  

Any time the Giants can add speed/playmaking ability...

I’m all for it. The kid is definitely exciting and he is very decisive – no tip-toeing throught the tulips before the makes up his mind – he just hits the hole and goes.

by Manningologist on Sep 4, 2011 10:06 AM EDT up reply actions  

No Tools..

to do it from the line of scrimmage? Didn’t you see him slashing up the gut of NE’s D for a couple of nice 10-15 yard runs?? Great runner.

by NYStateofMind on Sep 5, 2011 3:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

I liked the way he ran but did ask myself, "why are they running the snot out of this guy; he's shown what he's capable of"

NYG is a class act and I don’t think it’s beyond them to help a player they like but know they can keep. Like you said, someone had to get the ball.

by NY17NE14 on Sep 4, 2011 9:48 AM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, dumbfounded

Ware has been with us for how long? He has never quite put it all together. Brown had a solid last preseason game, running behind back-up OL vs. a very good first team D. This one has me scratching my head a bit.

by CCE718 on Sep 4, 2011 9:11 AM EDT up reply actions  

Remember

We don’t see these guys in practice every day. I like Brown and was rooting for him, but when you think about it as hard as he ran in preseason he left a lot of yards on the table. There were quite a few times he was one step from breaking a big run. Maybe the Giants feel that step was on him, and that he doesn’t have the explosiveness.

by Ed Valentine on Sep 4, 2011 9:16 AM EDT up reply actions  

But

it’s not like Danny Ware is the 2nd coming of Jimmy Brown

by Cruz Control on Sep 4, 2011 9:18 AM EDT up reply actions  

Ware and Brown are very similar

Both are one cut downhill guys, the one big edge I saw for Ware, pass blocking. It’s more important than upside, ask Tony Romo

by trueblue63 on Sep 4, 2011 9:27 AM EDT up reply actions  

Ware didn't look too explosive in game 3 either (nor anytime I can remember)

Maybe they went with Ware for his knowledge of the playbook/ blitz pickup and kept him in case their plans for Scott don’t pan out as they hope.

If Scott plays as well as we hope, Ware’s gonna have alot of slivers in his ass.

by NY17NE14 on Sep 4, 2011 9:24 AM EDT up reply actions  

I see Scott as more a wild card this year

KR, the other ST (just having him on the punt team changes it), and Hopefully some specialty plays (screens, stretches) to try for a big play. Scott isn’t ready for a prime time role, they’ll blitz him and Eli will get killed.

"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 Sep 4, 2011 9:30 AM EDT up reply actions  

agreed!

He’s young and inexperienced right now but with BJ and AB
the 3rd guy isn’t (hopefully???) going to see alot of the field anyways.

I was reading your post and pictured a CB or LB coming on the blitz >>> Eli dumps it off to Scott, who runs thru the spot they vacanted and it’s off to the races.

If teams see that a couple of times on film, I think they’d be alittle cautious doing that when they game plan us.

by NY17NE14 on Sep 4, 2011 9:42 AM EDT up reply actions  

Yes I hope for that play around mid season

They can’t run it though till Scott masters the blitz pick up. Cause a good DC will see him and call for an overload blitz that requires him to stay in and pick it up. You can’t expose your QB to that kind of punishment.

But RB pass blocking is all technique, lots of little RBs are great at it, and Scott isn’t little. If he has the desire, he’ll get his chance (I expect this cause 7th rounders get paid the worst, worse than UDFAs)

if its a running play than maybe just maybe that blitz will get burned..

I'm not arguing against Scott's talent

I just think he needs to get taught and seasoned before we start giving him prime time.

Ryan Grant is a good player but when would he play?

This has been a great hypothetical discussion

but we have to factor in that the common sense WE apply to the play calling does not reflect how someone so much smarter than us like KG will use the kid!!

TE

Of the 3 positions that need to be filled, TE is where we are most lacking on the roster, IMO. We’re thin at CB, but the starters are solid. FB is the second priority, unless they’re committed to Hynoski, and I don’t think they are.

ware vs brown

The only reason I can see that they would keep Ware over Brown would be pass protection, but I didn’t watch that closely to see how Brown did. But as a ball carrier, and/or injury liability, I’d have taken Brown.

I do hope they’re interested. The Porks have no idea what to do with their secondary (Dave Campo is still the DBs coach I think…I wonder why?). THe Giants on the other hand always at worst develop their DBs into solid players. To get an athlete like AOA back there, that might be perfect. Just don’t make him play safety!

Agreed

Outside of TE the starters at every postion are very good (LB is still a little….eh…but better than last year). I like the depth on OL and LB (the bench isn’t much of a dropoff from the guys who are starting). Consistent punter. Safety depth….

Just hope JR signs a TE (if not two) a CB….and we need DT depth….let’s not forget about that!!!

DT depth? Why?

Bernard wasn’t bad as depth last year and Kennedy was very good as depth for the Vikings last year. Sounds like we have too much depth.

Unless he's starting for another team

there’s not many 3rd DTs that are better then Kennedy. If he’s the 4th, then none.

He’s cheap and healthy and gigantic and was one of the best DT subs in the NFL last year. There’s not many, if any, better then him out there.

only problem is

anyone better than the guys we have will likely ask for more than the vet minimum, which is likely all the Giants would be able to spend. my guess is that we are looking at our DT rotation for the 2011 season.

Our rotation will be Canty and probably Lival (its what im hoping to see anyway)

Rocky in as the 3rd and than Tuck and JPP in different formations depending on what is going on. Kennedy will probably not touch th field at all unless of course we start having DT’s drop like flies.

but the need to spend more unecessary money to get guys to upgrade a postion we are already solid at doesnt make sense when your going to need that money to get a TE and a CB. The cap situation isn’t going to get any better over night.

I rather find an upgrade for FB before I even touch our DT's

Our FB position isn’t the best either. We have a UDFA in HH and we have a TE trying to play FB. Might be more of an issue than we think. I wonder if we can get Jacobs and AB44 on the field at the same time and let BJ block for AB.

I saw more of a 1-tech 3-tech lineup in the preseason as well

Kennedy plays smart. Knows what he is doing. That’s what you want in a backup who is holding space for a year.

Tuck and Tolly also get 3-tech snaps when they need athleticism.

TE

Color me suspicious of Travis Beckum. Obviously I want him to do well, but I’m neither optimistic nor pessimistic about his chances of making it. We have an unknown quantity in Jake Ballard. We know what we have in Pascoe, and I’m not a fan.

For CB, we have Ross and Corey Webster, both of whom I have more faith in. Brian Williams I think could be serviceable in the nickel, and we get Prince back in a few weeks.

Its not like we count on the TE to be an elite player anyway. CB while Ross I undoubtedly trust to play well when healthy, does anyone trust him to stay healthy.

Without Ross we’re starting….I dunno who at CB. That’s a much bigger deal then TE, regarless of how many times ESPN invents Kevin Boss as Eli’s former safety valve.

Good point on Ross' health

but I wouldn’t underestimate the blocking that Boss gave us. Beckum has shown flashes, sure, but I’m still suspicious of how his blocking might hold up.

I agree totally on this one. Our TE's aren't great, but...

that’s something we’ve dealt with before (Boss wasn’t great last year either), and we’re one injury away from major problems at CB and in our division we need that area to be a strength. I think we’ll end up with both a CB and a TE addition before the week is out, and wouldn’t be surprised with a FB addition as well, but I see CB as a bigger need just based on positional importance than the others.

by Cranky50 on Sep 4, 2011 11:54 AM EDT up reply actions  

Not really...

    We have three bodies and no complete TE, and while shifts may be made on what plays we’d run, none of the three is a star, nor significantly more valuable than the other. Quarterback – absolutely, if Eli is down, we’re in trouble, but we’re not about to deal with that problem via roster cuts are we??? CB you’re agreeing with me on, and I think we can (and have) made do with an injury at wide receiver – we have some depth there, and at some point I expect Barden might even return to action.

I wouldn’t mind Hanson, and even another corner for the outside if we can pull it off. TE is a weak position for us, but not a position we feature a lot. An inexpensive upgrade and quality depth makes sense there, and FB would be another area I hope Reese is looking to upgrade. I don’t see Cox as a Giants type solution to anything though.

Add one CB one TE

There are several desirable CBs out there and Fewell knows Corner from Buffalo.

IMO, take Hanson and cut Williams – or Martin.

TE? Unless you love Ballard or prefer an OT as the 3rd TE, replace him with blocking TE Joey Haynos from Jacksonville and cut Ballard while you wait to see if Bear comes around. (IMO based on performance to date Bear is very vulnerable).

Bring lawyers, guns and money to get me out of this one! Stand in the Fire.

Who have we "officially" added to our practice squad at this point?

Does anyone know? I read where some guys were hanging around hoping to be added today, but haven’t been seeing any official word on whether we’ve been signing guys or not. Thanks for any info on this.

by Cranky50 on Sep 4, 2011 12:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

Dwayne Hendricks only official one I think.

Justin Trattou, Chris Hopkins, Ayanga Okpokowuruk, and Ryan Perriloux aren’t officially on there yet.

Thanks!

   I’m glad we’re seemly going to be able to keep some of the better prospects from the “bubble” of yesterday. Some of these guys may yet see action before the year is over.

I’m really annoyed by the media villifying Osi for holding out for a new deal, whereas Briggs goes the same exact route. Neither are horribly underpaid….both deals were frontloaded.

Not saying Osi is right. But damn, the double standard is ridiculous.

It's cause Osi is in NY...

They take both sides

Osi should honor his contract
AND
He is underpaid

Less spine than a jellyfish

"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 Sep 4, 2011 1:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

Whoa!

Do you see Briggs suing the NFL? Do you see Briggs riding a bike and making up excuses not to play? Do you see Briggs insulting the coaching staff and GM?

I’m not standing up for Briggs but there is a right was to request more money (via agent) and then there is the malcontent Osi way to do things.

LOL...

Here we go again. The lawsuit wasnt for money the lawsuit was the players union vs the NFL. The players union asked Osi to participate in the labor negotiations by filing a sworn affadavit stating that this lock out was keeping him from dealing with his contract situation.

This doesn’t sound like a player who is making up excuses not to play “I am committed to playing for the Giants for the rest of the season,” Umenyiora told ESPN. “Returning to (the) field for three practices last week was a reminder of what I enjoy and love to do.”

Another qoute from a letter he wrote earlier last month "I will play under my current deal because I love and respect my coaches, my teammates, the fans, and myself," Doesn’t sound like he is insulting his coaches.

Last I checked who cares if he insults the GM the GM is just the guy who makes the numbers work and is a decision maker. If he doesn’t agree wih his contract he is gonna go to the guy who makes that contract up. As for excuses to not play I think that is bogus. Season hasn’t even started yet and he had surgery in the preseason when his knee was swelling up after practicing. He did it instead of waiting for after week 1 and missing 4-6 weeks of games after that.

wait...wait...wait

I got it…our rash of injuries is because Eli didn’t get enough players to his offseason workouts….just kidding sorry I know I’m off topic.

by Eli10 on Sep 4, 2011 12:35 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

no, its cause Eli actually stuck up for himself and called himself "elite"

then there was this multidimensional vortex that opened up and the football Gods were angered by this blasphemy. The defense ultimately paid the price because Brandon Jacobs made a deal with the devil.

I hope Hynoski is starting

Because there is no safer player getting to a practice squad than a blocking fullback. No team keeps backup fullbacks anymore, and no one is signing a UDFA rookie to be the starter in one week. We could have stashed Hynoski for a year until he learns more.

Jamie McCoy

Pittburgh TE placed on their practice squad. Been keeping an eye on Weslye Saunders, but he made Pittsburgh’s 53. McCoy had a very good camp.

Guys on a practice squad can be signed by any other team to their 53-man roster. We could lose AB2 that way but could also gain Jamie McCoy that way.

by hopeforthefuture3 on Sep 4, 2011 2:18 PM EDT reply actions  

no draft picks

but if a player is snatched off our squad he has to be added to that teams active 53 man roster

Donnie Avery

How about Avery (Released by RAMS) Put him in slot/3rd wideout.Frees up Hixon for punt returner and ends the fascination with Victor Cruz as 3rd wideout.Pickup D.Clark at TE and a corner.
