There's a reason the Lions weren't willing to bring him back for that $$, and for the Giants, man that's tough to be bidding against yourself for this guy...

He is a #1.5WR, but lacks true quickness. Glad the Giants were dumb, helps us. Lions are rebuilding, so the decision perhaps makes sense even if they wanted him. No way is he top-10 in NFL. For what they paid, you should get a true #1, size, speed, quickness, the total package. Golladay is good, but he is not that. Love watching other teams in division make mistakes we used to. :-)

I think the Giants are frustrated by Jones a bit, hoping he had developed more, shown more moxy, and view this as an investment in helping Jones not be a bust. In that sense, what is $3M more a year versus starting over at QB (and maybe people losing jobs in process)?
