Wonder if he's implying anything with that response...

When/where did he say this?  
Riggies : 10/30/2013 6:08 pm : link
Lovely that one of the worst OL in the entire NFL now decides to stir a pot though.

Is it really that hard to give some "I hope things work out, but we'll see" answer?
Nicks doesn't think David Diehl will return next year, either

wow this dude really  
mikecf2 : 10/30/2013 6:12 pm : link
Should worry about himself.
Neither did I.  
AnishPatel : 10/30/2013 6:13 pm : link
I think the Panthers will sign him. Dave G will make it happen.
I'm surprised

You don't usually hear a player commenting on a teammates free agency status. Especially this early in the season.

he said it today i believe i got an alert from bleacher report with the quote
I don't think David Diehl will return next year

But where did it come from? Was he on NFLN again?

Nicks, sadly, would be wrong.

Diehl is forever. He's going to outlast everyone, at this point I'm sure of it.
i think Diehl should worry about keeping Eli upright  
Jints in Carolina : 10/30/2013 6:19 pm : link
and not worry about Nicks.
STFU DAVID!!

I still find it hard to believe,

that Diehl would say that. He's smarter then that.

I agree Anish. Remember when a lot of us read the tea leaves last year and though Osi would wind up leaving in Free Agency and go to Atlanta? It seems to be the same thing next year with Nicks and Carolina (unless the Giants use the franchise tag on him). They're almost $12 million under the cap now, and should have a lot of free cap room to sign him if he's on the market.
I hope Diehl isn't back next  
SanFranGiantsFan : 10/30/2013 6:42 pm : link
season either.
Please provide a link  
Steve in South Jersey : 10/30/2013 6:42 pm : link
want to see the wording of the question.
Is there a link...  
Chris in Philly : 10/30/2013 6:42 pm : link
for this or should we all just continue to piss ourselves over word of mouth?
Anyone who thinks that Nicks is coming back  
gersh : 10/30/2013 6:44 pm : link
Has ignored everything that has happened since last season.
No way, no how
Hakeem Nicks knows Diehl  
Joey from GlenCove : 10/30/2013 6:47 pm : link
Wont be back next year
..  
JCin332 : 10/30/2013 6:50 pm : link
A) We still haven't seen a link

and

B) I still think he could be franchised

From @PFTonNBCSN, Giants OL David Diehl on WR Hakeem Nicks returning to the team next year: "I don't see it happening."
Still don't see the actual wording of the question  
Steve in South Jersey : 10/30/2013 6:52 pm : link
I am skeptical
smart money is that he doesn't return  
bc4life : 10/30/2013 6:54 pm : link
with this team's needs - you don't tie up another major contract on wr.
more concerned

with Joseph and Rolle
Don't  
AcidTest : 10/30/2013 6:57 pm : link
think he'll be back either, but injuries and dropped passes may cause his value to decline to the point where we can afford him.

There's a DUI checkpoint that would beg to differ
The issue isn't whether any of us believe Nicks will be back or not.  
Riggies : 10/30/2013 6:58 pm : link
The issue is Diehl not just giving a generic answer and choosing to stir things up more (even though the trade deadline just passed, settling them down at least a little).

For an alleged team leader, it's as piss poor of a move as most of the ones he makes on the field and if I were Nicks, I'd be irritated as hell with him.
The problem is, who do we have?  
Tittle 9 20 64 : 10/30/2013 7:00 pm : link
Are we going to bank on Randle learning this offense. I don't think so.

Tittle 9 20 64 : 10/30/2013 7:02 pm : link
Good point.
Diehl has done evertthing he can do to help  
gersh : 10/30/2013 7:08 pm : link
This team win since he came here. Including playing hurt. Granted his limitations leave him open to a lot of criticism.
Nicks stopped being that guy this season. Diehl is only stating the obvious.
Nicks is done playing football for the Giants. He merely going thru the motions while he tries to stay healthy to sign his one huge deal for his career.
What's wrong with what he said?  
bc4life : 10/30/2013 7:11 pm : link
Basically it means Nicks will get a big payday
I saw the interview.  
chad : 10/30/2013 7:18 pm : link
He meant it only in terms of dollars, as Nicks is a legit #1 receiver. When healthy, he is the second best player on offense, IMHO. Nothing against Cruz, different types of players.

And if there is a reliable source, show it

He's in the locker room with the guy  
Sneakers O'toole : 10/30/2013 7:20 pm : link
he probably knows where Nick's head is at when it comes to free agency. And the word floating around the ether has been that Nicks wants to test free agency. Lots of speculation surrounding Carolina.

So with all that in mind, Diehl probably isn't wrong. Now, maybe he should keep that information to himself, but that's another matter. I wouldn't dismiss what he says.

Sneakers O'toole : 10/30/2013 7:21 pm : link
Assuming he actually said it of course.
Diehl's correct.  
GFL in WV : 10/30/2013 7:21 pm : link
Nicks is just an average ballplayer now who will want to be paid like and elite ballplayer. If you want that kind of pay, you don't drop the passes Nicks has dropped this year. Let him go.
I Get a Kick Out of the Hatred For DD  
Bernie : 10/30/2013 7:24 pm : link
The guy has been a warrior for this team for over 10 years and the left tackle on 2 Super Bowl Champion teams. Yet some (primarily the newer members of BBI) talk of him as if he were Ian Allen. If you want to see what a bad offensive lineman looked like, go back and look at that guys performance.

Nicks will be moving on. Everyone knows it and you guys act like DD just made some monumental and controversial comment. He was stating the obvious.
Just franchise him  
Giants2012 : 10/30/2013 7:28 pm : link
It's only a fortune for one season. Resign him if he's worth it.
still  
blue42 : 10/30/2013 7:29 pm : link
no link.....sure he may not return but really that's not news.
Still no link....
BTW, the  
blue42 : 10/30/2013 7:31 pm : link
guys crying for linebackers and OL realize we cant't tie up 40% of our salary cap in a qb and two receivers.
Speculation from anyone at this time is pointless...  
Pete in CO : 10/30/2013 7:32 pm : link
...I bet even Hakeem Nicks and Peter Schaffer (agent) don't know. Nor will the NYG until they figure out their cap situation.
He said it  
jcn56 : 10/30/2013 7:39 pm : link
And while I've defended Diehl in the past, I really can't understand why he didn't offer up the standard 'no idea' type response and gave his opinion instead. No good could come from that.

Likely a true statement;  
old man : 10/30/2013 7:53 pm : link
but for a TEAM guy, it did the FO no favors.
Personally, I think he goes, unless the playbook is redesigned to feature him more/put him in schemes to get him open more.
Franchising may only delay the inevitable. And another year of 'just enough' to get the big contract.
Like I said, I think he's gone.

Fame has gone to his. That interview was much more arrogant than humble IMO. DD has no idea what Reese and Ownership are thinking.
DD is angling for a broadcasting job in the near future
