Giants | McQuarters agrees to terms
Mon, 13 Mar 2006 15:27:52 -0800

John Clayton, of ESPN.com, reports free agent CB R.W. McQuarters (Lions) has agreed to three-year, $6 million deal with the New York Giants. The deal includes a $2 million signing bonus.

Eagles also sign howard to a 10.5 SB 30mill 6 year deal (kinda rich for an old guy).

Alright, the cards have crazy cap space next year (and with the new stadium, they might mimmick the browns in a buying spree). Bryant gets 3.75mill a year, which is a lot lesss $/yard than randle-el got, hopefully his attitude problems re-emerge so i have no regrets The giants, in response to our WR corp, are sucking up CBs like no tomorrow. McQuarters would have been a decent signing for such a pittance. Adoyele is only getting 3.4mill a year and would have been a great add at that price, i'm sorry we didn't give him a look.


as for the skins, EVERYONE gets a 6/7 year 30mill contract like springs or moss got we WAY overpaid for archuleta (5mill a year for a safety??) and might have overpaid for R'El (totally depends on production). lloyd and carter are good values at that price though, and should prove it soon.

OL (J Mitchell targetted)
LB (??? - #2 draft pick?)
CB #3 (still plenty available)
K
P (dirk johnson, or draftee)
QB #3 (collins)

those are whats left. OL is a definate need, if mitchell signs as our backup, than the #2 pick is basically reserved for an LB, with late picks on CB/OL and possibly a punter or value QB. Right now it looks like Hall will be back, though that could always change.
