[quote=Irrefutable;1140336]Janoris Jenkins to the Giants[/quote]


ESPN's Dan Graziano reports the Giants "plan to make a run" at transition tagged DE Olivier Vernon.

Despite re-signing Jason Pierre-Paul and reportedly coming to terms with free agent CB Janoris Jenkins, the Giants still have a lot of work to do on defense. Adding an ascending pass rusher like Vernon would be a fantastic next step. The Dolphins are expected to rescind Vernon's transition tag, meaning the Giants will not have to worry about Miami matching if they are able to work out a deal with the talented defensive end.



Looks like the Giants are going with the "win now" strategy...probably see the writing on the wall with Eli with the window closing.

[quote=Meks;1140350]Becuz its hardly a one back league anymore not to mention ivory is a good change of pace to yeldon... may have overpaid a bit but smart solid move.[/quote]

You think Ivory will have the same success behind that line in Jaxville?

To me, the big red flag is a smart HC Bowles letting the guy walk. They didn't even make an offer to him.

I'm not surprised that they are in a win-now mode. I think if they have another supbar season, they are going to take a lot of heat from the media/fans since they pretty much went out of their way to blame everything on Coughlin.

I love that our biggest move is resigning our back up qb. I'll have 2 helpings of what McC is serving.

Also I think the teams with the most cap room are overspending like crazy because they know they have to reach the cap floor this year.

It also feels so different from when Bruce Allen was like, "We're taking care of our own." the year we won the division with RG3. We weren't THAT talented of a team...

Re: NFL Free Agency 2016
 

I also keep wondering if while we reload via the draft, we'll keep signing the Terrence Knightons and (maybe) Chris Longs just to have some kind of depth.

[quote=Chico23231;1140347]ESPN's Ed Werder reports the trade sending CB Byron Maxwell and WLB Kiko Alonso to the Dolphins is "considered dead."

The two teams also would be swapping first-round picks in the deal with the Eagles getting the Dolphins' No. 8 overall pick and Miami moving back to No. 13. It was pure highway robbery by Eagles GM Howie Roseman just to get Dolphins czar [B]Mike Tannenbaum[/B] to take the contracts of Maxwell and Alonso, let alone moving up in the first round. It appears after a couple days of thought that Tannenbaum is possibly smartening up and getting out of this one. The reason the deal is on life support is allegedly the Dolphins' concern with Maxwell's shoulder.



You know I've been thinking lately " WTF is Miami doing? They seem completely brainless" And now in the bold, everything makes sense. That guy is a complete clown[/quote]

I love it, mainly because I thought this trade was going to be great for the Eagles. They would've shed 2 big contracts, gotten something in return, and if the rumor of swapping first rounders was true they would have moved up to #8 from #13. But if the trade is dead we don't have to worry about any of that.

I think not making the trade is a good thing for Miami. Alonzo is injury prone and Maxwell didn't live up to the hype in Philly.

It still baffles me that after the long history of free agency misfires and giving away picks by our team (which was well documented by the media); other teams don't learn from our mistakes.

Re: NFL Free Agency 2016
 

Rolando McClain (LB) back with the Cowpukes on a 1-year deal. Marvin Jones (WR) expected to sign with Detroit.

Its a very good thing...but still even to first agree in principle was a head scractcher for sure. They were going to give up a top 10 pick and move back with that deal....what!!!!

They gave Mario Williams 2 year deal with like 8-9 million per. That's cray to me.

Mentioned ~$30m fully guaranteed for Janoris Jenkins. It's $29m, to be exact. $40m first three years. $62.5m over 5 total.

That's a lot of money for an inconsistent player IMO.

Love it. Hope they get a couple inconsistent years out of him before they cut him.

Shit. Eagles trade back on.

WTF is Denver doing?
Sounds like they might let Osweiler go and pick up Kapperdick.

Oh well. I guess hoping for a few more years of mediocrity for the Eagles is too much to ask for.
