Anyone else have a feeling, the Giants could go after him in Free Agency? He's not being talked about as much as some of the other bigger names out there. Assuming that he's recovering from his pectoral injury, I have a feeling he could be a priority. Almost reminds of me of when Accorsi signed Lavar Arrington...as he wanted another playmaker on D. I know he's coming from a 3-4, but he's beefed up over the years and I think he can fit in a 4-3 scheme. He won't be super high priced and "if" he's healthy he could be that other playmaker that this defense so desperately needs. Thoughts?
I think he's a great fit for the Giants. I know he's an injury risk, but if the $$ isn't huge, I would rather have him given his NFL experience instead of Beasley, Ray, Gregory, Fowler etc. in the Draft.
I can't see how he can demand that much $$ or teams would be willing to pay him that much. The Giants know him well....he's a good player.
He didn't even play last year...and tore his pec.
If he's super high priced, then I would NOT be interested.
I can't see a team paying him a large contract.
I'm thinking a 2-3 year deal in the $10-15 million range? I'm no expert on value...
Always has to be accounted for.
When the Giants played the skins, I always thought that he played with his hair on fire and was physical as hell.
Anyone have any updates on his health/situation?

Torn pecs aren't ACLs.

wow....
can't imagine these injuries aren't from excessive weight lifting. I remember out of college, he was bench pressing something like 550 lbs. Lay off the weights dude.
This. Injured a lot. Overrated. Not a good first round pick by the Redskins.
You're mistaken. Orakpo is another word for injured.
What do the Giants have to offer?? Well if they re-sign JPP he would start opposite him. Maybe Spaq aggressive style defense, maybe the big market of NY, maybe the Giants history of great Edge rushers? Maybe its close to where he lives, DC to NY commuter flight.
