NGT: Colts frontrunners for D. Carter, Nicks status unclear

I wonder if he'd be an option for us.

I pray not..He's either damaged physically as FMiC has asserted or he's a lazy bastid..

Regardless, no..

.

There was something clearly very wrong between he and TC that last season, even dating to that preceding offseason with how he handled not attending OTAs.

...and he seems to have burned some bridges. The guy who might vote in favor is Sean Ryan, but how much say does he have?

that TB game and playing through the season with those injuries ruined him. Its a shame, he's the same age as Dez Bryant and was one of the best WR in the league.

He's certainly burned some bridges (that game where he expected to play but was a scratch seemed to be evidence of that).

I wonder about the physically damaged goods though - I saw him play a few times last year, and while I didn't go back and focus on him specifically, it did look to me in a quick observation that he was better towards the end of the season than earlier on. Not sure if that was effort, if it was familiarity with a new offense and QB, or if it was just a very slow road to recovery.

The Randle who ended the year, is better, perhaps much better than the Nicks who ended this year, imo..

Granted, we'll have to wait and see if this was just a Randle tease, but regardless, he's much healthier than Nicks is

Who would have ever thought that after that game Nicks would be damaged goods with one foot out the door while Talib would be a pro bowler with a huge contract.

Heck, they should bring back Bradshaw, Osi, Tuck and Jared Lorenzen. We're gettin' the band back together !!!

Yeah, that game made it look like Cruz and Nicks were going to be clearly the best 1-2 WR punch in the game for the coming years. They just dominated. Too bad.

meter left on?

Yeah, Hakeem opened his big mouth about having Andrew instead of Eli throwing to him......his lowest number of receptions in a year for him....his lowest yards per catch in a year for him.....and just 4 td's? wow....The guy gets no separation whatsoever.....if he coninues to play in the NFL, the best he can hope for, will be one year contracts....not even the Oakland Raiders are stupid enough to give him a multi year deal....the speed is not there....the 2011 season is a distant memory....

Stint like we did with Manningham. Maybe he can revive his career? Maybe?

faster everywhere we can. A broken down Nicks with a shitty attitude is the last thing this team needs.

to Nicks. Can't get separation, and there were clearly problems between him and Coughlin. We need to get younger and healthier. Nicks takes us in the wrong direction.

Makes me sad just thinking about it. Thank God for OBJ/ODB.

The only gap in having a top notch WR was after Plexico shot himself and before Nicks emerged.

I agree

The way Plax was coming back here. Will not happen.

He probably isn't being asked back to Indy and Andrew Luck was throwing to him. Its a shame but he is no longer the player he was for a couple of years as a Giant.

The first part of your post is absurd. Some fans will do anything to try and find a slight against Eli when it isn't there. Nicks did NOT trash Eli. Give me a fucking break.

I'd love to see Nicks back, fuck it. As long it's for the right price. Seeing Nicks catch another TD in a Giants uni would be amazing.

Not sure the money he thinks he is worth would be worth it for a #3 or #4 WR (depending on Randle or a draft choice battling for #3 too).

It sounds like he may not even be in the NFL next year.

why would the Jints want to bring back a used up Nicks? They are looking to get younger and faster, Nicks has nothing to offer.

team in the NFL and still couldn't get open and catch balls for first first downs.

He'll only make a team in 2015 that has Stevie Wonder for its GM...

He isn't an option.

approach being the player he was with us. He is strictly a possession receiver who has lost a lot of steps and moves. Still has the good hands but that is all, and that is not enough.
