I head McKinnie was 360. If he wasn't so old, I'd say give him a backup spot. Too bad Big Mike Williams hasn't been able to make it all the way back...looked promising for a while.




Anyways...another Dallas Cowboy left Dallas...not that Alex Barron was any good:

Back up? For what position, nose tackle?

Ryan Harris to Philly?

[quote=Ruhskins;819345]Back up? For what position, nose tackle?[/quote]

He can join JaMarcus Russell in the All-TIme FATTIES football team. JarMarcus plays center and Mt. McKinnie plays nose.

Or they can hold a competition to see how many Big Macs they can down in 10 minutes.

Ha, even more news. He failed his physical. LOL

[QUOTE]Giants tell Osi Umenyiora, agent they are no longer allowed to seek trade

The window for the Giants to trade Osi Umenyiora has apparently closed.

The team informed the two-time Pro Bowl defensive end today he and his agent are no longer allowed to seek a trade partner, according to someone informed of the conversation between the two camps today.

...


The team's decision to take the trade off the table is a sign they're looking to nip this distraction in the bud, though it [B]might only serve to further escalate Umenyiora's anger[/B] over his claim the Giants promised to restructure his contract. If so, that might speed up the process here and bring a suspension for "conduct detrimental to the team" in play. [/QUOTE]

sorry if this has already been addressed. Theres a million posts I'd need to read through, but how did we not get ryan harris? He signed a one year contract for the vet minimum with the eagles. We couldn't give him a three year 6 million dollar contract contract to be our backup? We could cut hicks and be done with that poop. He was drafted by shanny, and from what I understand did pretty well in our blocking scheme.

With health would you garuantee anything more than vet min? And it looks like everyone wants a shot at the Dream Team. We are "reloading," while they are blowing their wad.

You do realize that many of these guys going to Philly are taking less money to play there. You can't hold a gun to a FA's head and force them to come here.

tripple a years salary would make anybody coming off of a rookies salary take the money. These guys don't play very long. The ones that don't make millions every year don't always have the luxury of picking the team where their heart is. I didn't know health was a concern with him. If it is, I'd still risk it and give him two mil based off of his past success with shanny. Maybe his health concerns really are that bad, or have changed his level of play.

He is coming of knee surgery, it might not be a huge deal as he is expected to compete for a starting role in Philly. I think we have the cap space and need really, but Philly is the "place to be" right now. Shanny would be the best judge and it looks like he had some concerns. I have had my dose of Happy Pills and just waiting for the plan to unfold.

[I]My bad nix the surgery thing but he did miss a bit of time with ankle issues last year.[/I]

Re: 2011 NFL Free Agency-Part 3
 

Didn't realize this before but the Ryan Harris signing is more important then I thought. With Vick at QB Harris is protecting the blindside. He's essentially the teams "LT."

Giants getting Stacey Andrews is an interesting move. Braylon meeting with the Niners tonight. Braylon vs Carlos in practice is going to be like an intense game of hot potato day in and day out

Re: 2011 NFL Free Agency-Part 3
 

Casey Rabach failed his physical with the Ravens

Re: 2011 NFL Free Agency-Part 3
 

Did WE ever give him a physical because I bet he would have failed for the past 2 or 3 years if so?

Darn, I was hoping to burden the Ravens with him.

So now what...Birk is hurt, Casey deal over now? Plus, we have Chester...they have no center?

I guess it will depend how Osi acts. It may or may not be a circus, but once again, I just don't understand why these teams insist on keeping malcontents (and that includes the Skins last year).

I've wondered why we didn't get Harris, too. Maybe a far better chance to start in Philly was persuasive to him.

Well yeah it looks like for the time being at least there will be no joy in Baltimore for Casey. Birk may only miss a couple of weeks they say. As for what they do in the meantime. Don't know. Olin Kreutz maybe?

Kreutz would be great -- his teammates think he's the toughest guy on that squad. He's no kid, but veyr solid and should have a few good years left.

He should be a starter somewhere. Only way he backs up Birk is if he really really wants a shot with a contender. That or they tell him he can play Right Guard when Birk comes back. Do the Ravens have a replacement for Chester yet because I'm under the impression that this is the starting lineup when everyones healthy
