New York Giants News And Notes: Victor Cruz, Mario Manningham And More

make the handshake promise now, pay the money later.

Of course I know slightly less than nothing about NFL payroll…

and he still didn’t get a new contract. Gronk is still on his rookie deal along with many others. I also thought Cruz was in a unique situation, but after watching a segment on NFL network on the “best value players in football”, I realize he’s really not. Ray Rice is making nothing, Aaron Hernandez…there’re lots of players making about the same as cruz, but have done it for more than one year. Sorry, but he’s not getting a contract this year unless it’s REALLY team friendly.

but he needs to pipe down. He had one GREAT season but you don’t get a long term deal based on 1 season. At least you don’t deserve to. Play out your current deal and then you’ll get the contract. Giants have a lot more issues to deal with right now…….I hope we keep Osi and keep NASCAR in tact. Was fun to watch all those guys do their thing……..

He’ll be here next year.

and with Prince, Johnson, and the rest……….Ross is expendable. He is a good player but you can’t keep everyone because of lousy FA.

So that one is taken care of. I also think Osi is going to have to be dealt. Eli should restructure his deal this year too. Would anyone give Jacobs big $$$?

maybe the Giants take a look………Depends on the Salary cap.

hopefully we get a couple more intellegent fans in here that are sick of the mass produced garbage over at the mothership

there are so many holes and assumptions made, I just stayed away from the post entirely..

but for everyone here… Giant Loophole/assumption/elephant in the room..

BTB writer assumes since Giants did something Math didnt dictate, that is a rare situation thus, the luck factors in…

Reality is, Math is supposed to be used to describe what the Giants did. If Math ever accurately predicts what the Giants did/do… That is where the luck is to be found!!!

And Boom! just like that, you are all smarter.

Bottom line, this guy is a sore loser that can’t admit that his bitter rivals just won the whole show. Get over it man. We beat you in your house and ours, Your argument doesn’t hold any water with anyone with an IQ above 3.

So twist your numbers to make em say whatever it is you’d like them to say, but it won’t change the fact that the Giants won Superbowl 46.

they cut everyone. every single player that had a notable name, sans Barber. Most of the team is still on their rookie contract.

which is something he’s probably going to want.

There was no salary floor under the old CBA – you could spend the bare minimum on your roster if you wanted to, and pocket the revenue.

Under the new agreement, you have to spend the money – I think it’s something like 90% of the salary cap.

So teams like the Bengals now have to invest in their roster.

they should give him whatever the hell he wants.

they backload more money in the last years of the contract. So in 2 or 3 years, they will be really screwed with CAP space. Also, Eli has earned every penny of his contract.

To answer your question how can a team be 65 million UNDER the cap and we are right at the cap? Easy answer Giants have good players they get paid…. Tampa has crappy players that make nothin.

guys entering the later years of the multi-year deals have them

all the mindless baffoons asking for Eli to restructure, it’ll only bite you in the ass the next year. Rolle and Webster restructured last year, but now its gonna bit us in the ass this year. Although I guess you can say that we reached the ultimate goal last year, so who cares.

RT @jh123416: @JoeReedy Who’s the most logical free agent you could see Mike Brown spending the cash for?>Bush, Manningham, Meachem

we could have repeated in 08 if it wasn’t for the shot heard round the world. We started 09 5-0 and then watched the DLine just get injured to all hell and lost KP and we had the CC Brown failed experiment. Last season we went 10-6 which almost always gets you a playoff berth. So I don’t see that likely at all. The Giants will stay competitive we just need to step up and make big plays at crucial moments.
