The #Giants are signing LT Nate Solder to a 4-year deal worth $62M, source said, with $35M guaranteed. The highest paid OL in the NFL. 💰💰💰[/quote]
After losing the guard to the Jags they knew they had to come off some money.Not sure if I like this ,is it an up grade yes but he hasn't been to a "pro bowl".Now the Giants should trade down get picks and get the guard from ND Nelson. I would offer ODB to the Browns for their #1 and get Barkley and Nelson at # 2.

A flower barrell is an upgrade at LT for Giants, but this just further proves that you don't have to be anywhere near the best to get paid the best.

[quote=skinsfaninok;1190544]All of this is 100% true and it is a big concern but we needed that Speed to open up the field, even if he is just used for some deep passes here and there we will benefit from it. Reed? It's time to just realize we need to draft a TE[/quote]

There is healthy WR speed in this draft and much less expensive. A lot less risk to cost. I hope Richardson is on the field.
Reed on the other hand, I don't think our FO has realized it yet. Instead they signed him to a 5 year, $46,750,000 contract, including a $9,000,000 signing bonus, $22,000,000 guaranteed, a cap hit of $10,143,750 in 2018.
At his cap hit , if he has another repeat of 2017 in 2018 it will definitely be time to get move on from Reed.

There are too many team needs to fill them all via the draft. Some needs must be filled in FA. Apparently, this is one of them.

[quote=metalskins;1190359]I don't really understand all of this legal tampering window mess and announcing these big time signing a day before free agency officially begins. I thought the way free agency was structured is that nobody can officially say anything or make any deals until the clock strikes 4pm on the day of free agency, yet, here we are hearing about all of these big time signings.[/quote]

Nothing changed and it is more of the same. This has been going on for years before the 'legal tampering' was permitted. Only the league could not do anything about it. I remember the days when the new league year started at 4:00 PM EST. And at 4:05 there was a ton of press releases announcing signings. Those deals are not negotiated in 5 minutes. They just could not sign the contract until 4:00. In other words, those deals were struck way beforehand......aka, tampering.

NFL knew they could not do anything about it, so they 'legalized' it.

Could have had a ring when Denver tried to trade for him when Manning was there. It may have been the year Denver won the SB.
