2012 Free agent class

But if I could sign anybody, it’d be Carl Nicks.

If they lose players, looking for replacements that have talent, but moreso want to come to a team with a shot for a ring, as LT did with the Jets.
Health is big along with $$$$…if Peyton Hillis were healthy, I think he would look at NYG over Cleveland as a good move a this point in his career.

If I were Reese, I would scour these FA’s, and first, replace ( combined with the draft) what is lost, then find players who want a ring. There is a real deep FA class at the skill positions, and enough depth at OL and DBs this year.

$120,375,000
The Giants are $1.7 mil over cap right now…..Kareem McKenzie was at 4 Mil, here is a link to 2012 salaries and fa’s;

They can save enough by letting go of Jacobs, McKenzie, Ross to cover the draft along with 2-3 FA signings. Factoring in too are what to do with FA’s Deon Grant, Chase Blackburn, Dave Tollefson, Rocky Bernard, Jonathan Goff, Terrell Thomas.
Let go of Kareem, Jacobs, Ross, Manningham, then look at the second tier players I listed…….they can make some cap room and not trade off too much on losing talent .

or Scaife from Ten.

Buy what we need and make cuts to make it work after… boy I’d run this team straight into the ground if given half a chance.

what in the Giants history makes you think they’re doing this? First off, we have Hakeem Nicks to sign soon. ANd also Victor Cruz if he’s not a flash in the pan. That’s first. You don’t pay this nipplehead Jackson a big fat contract before those two. Holy shit do you not do that.

Of all that you mention, Shiancoe makes the most sense. He’s coming off a down year and I’m sure would love to play with Eli. We know he’s a good blocker, he was a blocking TE after all until Farve Farva’d him into a good TE.

There are rumors floating around the SF might not be able to afford his asking price. In a lockout year, most corners looked pretty bad due to no real off-season. With SF’s amazing front 7 it helped Rodgers look good. A lot of factors help him getting a big contract.

If we happen to loose Jacobs somehow I wouldn’t mind getting McClain for cheap. He is a bruiser and he loves running the ball.

That is IF he is cheap…

We got Jerry Reese, we build through the draft.

For this year again, at least. The Giants ain’t got no money to spend on FA anyway. Not unless there is a big purge of the contracts of guys like DD almost 4 mil, Jacobs 4 + mil, Mac 3 + mil, and we don’t sign Ham or Ross and to a lesser degree TT, Goff who should come cheap because of injury.
