The definitive list of who should stay and who should go.

so heres my thoughts

Offense

David Carr – if you can keep him for decent back-up QB money, keep him. If he wants top backup $, drop him. Ryan Perriloux seems to have the giants interest anyway. maybe start grooming him to backup Eli.

Michael Clayton – agree with you. didnt do a thing this year. minimum salery if anything

Domenik Hixon – if Mario walks and if this guy comes back 100%, we solved our 3rd WR problem. If hes healthy and capable.. keep him around

Mario Manningham – agree with you again. would love to keep him, but someone will pay him big bucks that the giants wont want to match.

Devin Thomas – his ST play earned him another contract. excels in the gunner position where the gents have been lacking for a long time.

Jake Ballard & Bear Pascoe – this one’s tough. would like to keep both because they are both servicable, but the torn ACL makes it tricky. Maybe keep Bear around, hes a very solid back-up. Ballard earned himself an extension, but we’ll have to see the progress his knee makes. No one will sign him anyway, so the Giants can probably take thier time with him

Stacy Andrews and Tony Ugoh – agree with you.

Kareem McKenzie – too pricey, too old, not good enough anymore. huge drop in production from 2010 to 2011. cant see 2012 being any better. let him walk.

Defense

Dave Tollefson – sign him. backup money of course.

Rocky Bernard & Jimmy Kennedy – Rocky is getting pretty old but he was still decent. Jimmy Kennedy is a juicehead. hopefully Austin can come back strong.I say let them both walk, or sign one as the 4th DT.

Chase Blackburn & Jonathan Goff – sign Goff to a 1 or 2 year “prove you still got it” contract. I would LOVE to have Chase stick around, but with the plethora of young LBs, i just dont think theyll have room for him, especially if he wants a decent payday.

Will Blackmon, Justin Tryon, Michael Coe, Bruce Johnson – Tryon, if 100% healthy, definetly deserves another shot. cant find heart like that just anywhere. bruce johnson was also respectable as a depth guy. blackmon and coe can hit the bricks. Have all 4 duke it out for 1 or 2 spots.

Aaron Ross & Terrell Thomas – would be wonderful to get both, but wont happen. Have to keep 1, preferrably TT. give him the same Goff deal… 1 or 2 year prove youre still good contract.

Deon Grant – let him walk. he was ok, but a liability. need to get some young depth at S

Derrick Martin – hm. not really sure. league minimum?

Steve Weatherford – give this man a new contract! the antidodge.

Chase Blackburn , Jonathan Goff ,Jones and Herz to batle it out .. hoping it works out to ..
1. Goff
2. Herzlich
3. Burn

I would like to see Boothe in the backup role.. Not sure moving DD will be the cure all to a good run game again, im hoping for …

Will B =Petrus=Baas=Snee=Double D

Strongly disagree with the Corner situation.. Tryon is would be the best pure slot corner on the roster and u gotta love how he gos all out on STs..

Web = TT = Tryon = Prince

I can see Ross getting a pretty good offer from a team like SF

I do genuinely hope the Giants make him a reasonable re-structure offer.

He is not a “starting” DE, but he is head and shoulders — and chest and waist — better than any DE in the NFL who will not typically be on the field half the game. Actually, if things go well, these 3 guys should split snaps almost evenly, with the young JPP shouldering a heavier load simply because of his youth and endurance (assumption on my part).

In both of our recent SB wins, the 3 pro-bowl level DE rotation has been a big part of our success. I would like to keep it. Osi should want to stay where he’s been collecting jewelry (isn’t it nice that a lot of these guys have TWO RINGS!?!?!) and realize it’s actually going to make him look a lot better than he really is by allowing him to do ONLY what he does best which is KILL THAT QB.

Give him a dime more so he can say he won. Extend him 3 years solid, option to 5. Frankly, all of these guys will have a longer, better career by splitting the load.

If Reese makes the call that Tolly is our new 3, so be it. But I’d love to keep our 4.

They probably have to trade Osi (not let go, he has value) Because over the next two years they are going to have to pay

JPP, Hakeem Nicks, Victor Cruz, and Will Beatty

Those are all players at expensive positions and JPP and Nicks are going to be among the highest paid at their positions in the league, and Cruz too if he has another season like that.

Giants have to start getting rid of some big salaries, unfortuantely

Osi – give him an incentive-laiden, long term deal. 5 years minimum to allow for flexibility and continuity. With the big payday being located in a down year in regards to contract expirations.

Cruz- Young, healthy, durable and homegrown. This may be a stretch, but given his superhuman ball skills and awareness, I’d be totally confident in it.

1 year deal temporary deal.

Followed up by a midseason 9-year thunderbolt that will keep him with us for the rest of his career.

TT- Wants to stay, let him.

3 year, incentive laiden deal.

Manningham- Bring him back if he’s willing to accept a less guady paycheck but reward him with guaranteed money and substantial years (4+)

Jacobs – Played well down the stretch, despite the crappy play of the o-line. If he’s willing to trade the 4.4 million for a 3 more years to run wild in a positively progressing offense, make it happen. Leaders of his caliber are enormously difficult to find in any facet of life. And given the injury prone tendency of Bradshaw and the camaraderie they share, Jacobs would be the best option for us at RB.

Give tentative deals to Blackburn and Goff and draft a beast (one of Bama’s backers or Vontaze Burfict, who is an animal)

Watch this before you shit the bed.

Typical media overreaction

Anyone who thinks about comparing his demeanor to a bitch like Jackson can take a hike.
