JPP's next contract

FTLFan : 12/17/2014 11:54 am

Can't even begin to count the number of posts/posters that have said they only want JPP back if it can be achieved at a cap friendly price. Why on earth should "cap friendly" be even a consideration when we're talking about the absolute best run defending DE in the game, and an undeniable top 5 player at his position (probably #2 just after Watt)? The man has earned his money, deserves his money, and the only question should be whether the Giants want to or are able to allocate the resources. There will be $$ available this year, and guys like JPP don't grown on trees. He's still on the front side of his career, is a "homegrown" talent, and is a fan favorite on the defensive side. Unless his price would leave us completely threadbare on the rest of the roster, I personally hope management is already discussing long term contract structure with his agent.

I've been disappointed in JPP's

Bill in UT : 12/18/2014 12:15 am : link

play the few couple of years. But he's still a good player and I think he gives good effort. Hopefully a new DC can get even more out of him. We can't move ahead talent-wise if we have to keep filling the same holes with top draft choices every few years, like DE, DT and WR. If JPP walks, it's going to cost us big bucks to find a FA as good as him, if any are available. And no one in the draft looks as good as him. I'm afraid we just have to swallow a $10-12M hit to try to keep him.

Get used to JPP

He will be signed. Imagine what this dline would look like without him?

I think its great that JPP joined BBI and started posting

montanagiant : 12/18/2014 12:58 am : link

I just can't figure out why he called himself FTLFan

RE: JPP Next Contract will be in the range of $90-$100 million

Could you imagine how Giant fans will feel if JPP is piling on 15-20 sack seasons per year in Dallas or Washington...especially if they let him walk for nothing??

Yeah, I can easily imagine it: The morons who were all for letting JPP go will nevertheless bash Reese non-stop. Those who think he's worth only $4 million per year couldn't spell CLUE if they were spotted the C, L, U & E.

JPP

What would be the downside to franchising him? We would buy an extra year to see if he can stay healthy and perform at this level or even a slightly higher level if he gets a little more help on the DL.(it seems unlikely he will return to the level he displayed that one year). Also as others have mentioned trade would then be a possibility. and just out of curiosity when did we last franchise someone? And what would JPP's salary likely be if we did?

So then what are we looking at realistically?

section125 : 12/18/2014 11:33 am : link

6yrs/$80 mill,say $50mill guaranteed?

He can play at a very high level

Randy in CT : 12/18/2014 11:37 am : link

and then be adequate for games at a time.

7 mill per and I'm happy.

Lamar Houston, Michael Bennett, Carlos Dunlap, Jared Allen, Cameron Wake, Everson Griffen, Michael Johnson, Junior Galette are all making over that number and you are not taking any of them over JPP

He is going to get 10M per season. I could see 4-45 20M guaranteed or 5-50 with half guaranteed

random stats... you have to go all the way down

hitdog42 : 12/20/2014 10:14 am : link

to Dantae Hightower and his 5 sacks... to find a player with more tackles then JPP on the sack league leader list....
his 2 way play (for some reason because he doesnt have gaudy sack numbers and sucked against Peters) is so underrated on here. If we let he and linval go in back to back years.... then wtf is the point in discussing the draft if we dont keep any of the good players we find.

I would like to keep JPP but can someone

Jimmy Googs : 12/20/2014 11:20 am : link

please teach him how to play the Read-Option before we hand over $7-10 million per year?

The bottom line

mrvax : 12/20/2014 11:47 am : link

is if the Giants are willing to pay an average of $12M per for JPP. I'm almost 100% certain he will have those sort of offers.

For those who say,"it's too much".

State who and for how much will you try to replace him with right here:

Thanks and good luck playing GM.

Those citing JPP's sack numbers

cosmicj : 12/20/2014 12:32 pm : link

Need to acknowledge the lack of production in that area from his fellow Def fro nt 7 players. Also, Fewell's lack of talent in scheming to pressure QBs. If JPP is given an environment with a lot of pass pressure, his stats would go up.

Also, you know how we complain about fat happy nfl defensive linemen who routinely take plays off. JPP busts his butt every play. That's worth A LOT.

Love this comment. Yes, I'm being sarcastic. Give JPP a properly structured $12m per year contract the week after the season ends and move on to the next issue. Reese has plenty of things to aside from trying to lowball one of his best players.

cos: I was thinking $8M per a few months ago. I've changed my bottom line to $12M per also for several reasons.
