its the Pats and their low salary payroll structure, especially while they work out a 'can-back-with-your-last-best-offer before you sign elsewhere.
A PK is cheaper than a CB.
but that hasn't stopped us from going after(and usually signing, imo) guys we really want
Good point, the Giants don't lose bidding wars (Karlos Dansby, Albert Haynesworth, etc, etc, etc.
We didn't go hard for Dansby iirc..BBIers wanted him badly(I know I wanted him), but not certain the Giants did..Haynesworth? Not sure there either as we've heard conflicting reports..
we need space, big time. I don't think we're spending $8M per on a safety with this swiss cheese roster. This isn't 2010 where they went for broke signing Rolle ...

If we are breaking the bank on the safety position. I think Id rather throw 5 mil at Parker and save some cash for Miles. Fix both safety spots. Fantasy probably.
they had the whole off-season to come to numbers. Is the fact that the Giants dropped the tag on JPP going to bring them to table to flesh out a long term deal. We haven't heard anything about a deal being imminent. Quite the opposite.
Think we just had our FA splash with franchising JPP.
Anyone remember how bad the pats secondary was before revis and browner was added??? Like record breaking bad....evil genius Bill had one of the worst secondaries in terms of passing yards and big plays....and McCourty had his hands all over that....believe me they can do better than over pay for him
I think he's out of the Giants price range, but I'd love for me to be wrong.

will make a play for McCourty, he's the best safety available by many accounts.

What is the Giants price range for safety? How did you acquire this info? Thanks!
eleventy billion dollars.
I cannot reveal my sources for where I acquired this information because I don't want to incriminate the over the cap website.
After franchising JPP they have around 5M left on the cap.
So until another transaction happens they don't have much more than that and free agency opens in 5 days.

And if he wants to team up with his twin brother the Titans have an edge.
and in fact, he's gone a step further and said he now considers New England home.
Not sure being in NJ gives the Giants any advantage.

Prior to then he was inconsistent at CB.
But safety, no such struggles with consistency, even before Revis and Browner.
