BA LOVES to poach from division rivals.

With that said, I don't see any reason to believe that Nicks has anything to offer. Unless he was going 3/4 speed on routes to get out of New York. In which case, I wouldn't bring him here.

Darren Sproiles would be a nice addition to our backfield as well as the return game. We showed interest with MS around. Without a Giovanni Bernard on the roster Gruden may like this guy. If we could add a WR and Sproiles it would give us some excitement to our offense.

But we have so many needs I just want to see what the FO had planned to turn over this roster.

why would we add sproles, who is probably looking to get alot more than we are willing to pay for a return man. Our running game is top 5 in the NFL, we just need to find a returner with a bit of vision who can hold on to the ball. Plus, what has that guy really done running the ball since 2010 or 2011? Not much. The guy is more receiver than a running back. Not really what we need, another small receiver who's stats are inflated due to checkdowns.

Plus, after looking at his stats, his kickoff returns the previous 2 years average just over 21 yards.........not really the gamechanger I'm sure he would want to get paid like, plus, in 9 seasons, he only has 3 PR TD's, and is on the wrong side of 30. PASS.

Well, I don't think we would add Sproles to improve the RB unit, because as you pointed out, we don't need help there, and he wouldn't add much in that respect anyway. If we signed him, I think the primary reason would be to add a legit returner. Sure, he's not Cordarelle Patterson, but he'd be better than any KR we've had in a long time. I think his contributions on offense would be viewed as merely a bonus.

By the way, here's another link with more Sproles info:

I'm pretty surprised that the effective part of Sproles' career lasted this long, actually. I really liked Darren Sproles coming out of K-State, but I wasn't sure any team would fine a role for him. I was pleasantly surprised when not just one, but two organizations turned him into a viable fantasy football option.

I hope it is smoke. I don't want to pay Nicks what he wants nor do I think he has shown much the last two years .

I love the thought of Nicks. I got a friend who says that is one they are after. He also told me that Malcom Jenkins is there FS target. He has been right before.

Report: Zero chance Hakeem Nicks returns to Giants
by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

There's a zero percent chance the Giants will re-sign impending free agent Hakeem Nicks, according to The Star-Ledger. Nicks, who did not score a touchdown in 2013, "appeared to be disinterested this season," the paper added. "His main goal seemed to be staying healthy instead of putting forth a maximum effort."

Not a flattering assessment of Nicks. Jenkins is OK, I guess. I'm not excited about either of them.
