- JPP deal is getting messy over guaranteed money, but there is a chance a new long-term deal will be done before Monday.
- Jon Beason's contract re-structuring is done.
- Giants will invite safety Devin McCourty (Patriots) and Rahim Moore (Broncos) to visit. McCourty is 1a and Moore 1b.
- The interest in Ndamukong Suh is smoke.
I wonder if JPP signed the "tag" contract yet? Or if his agent is shopping him?
I by no means excuse poor drafts, but i'm not ignorant enough to finger point when I know no more than the next fan about who would have worked out for us and who wouldn't. Too many factors (health, bad coaching, lack of luck, etc).
Also heard Reese shopping Nassim for a 3rd .

That makes 0 sense to me. This is the first back up QB since Warner that has looked half decent running the offense (even if only preseason). In fact he had a better preseason than Eli did. Also Eli though a model of durability is 34. I would be pretty unhappy to give up a solid insurance policy for the most important position on the team especially for just a 3rd.
They can sign an equitable backup QB.

You get a 3rd for Nassib, you run to the phone to accept. I don't see anyone offering a 3rd however...
of course, I never thought they would get more than that for Nassib under any circumstances, so i always thought the calls to trade him were moot and pure fantasy.
AJ Feeley turned a 75 QB rating into a 2nd round pick.
Matt Schaub cost 2 2nd round picks
Kevin Kolb yielded DRC and a 2nd round pick
Matt Cassel (and Vrabel) yielded the 34th pick in the draft
and there are a lot more...
Granted Nassib hasn't played a meaningful down in an actual NFL game, but a 3rd might be realistic given the stupidity around the QB position

Yes, a 3rd round pick will make up for that. If Eli gets hurt, Nassib isn't going to save the season. I'd rather have the extra 3rd rounder.
I'd heard they were shopping him for a #2, perhaps a #3 is the trigger.
Don't know, that's why it's not a 2nd round pick though like (at least) in all the examples I provided.
If some of these loons were correct and the Giants were offered a #2, i would agree you jump on it. A #3 is still worth consideration, but not a slam dunk, in my opinion.
Cool post bro. I'll be sure to look for your next eye opening post. Let me guess, you think CC Brown was a bad player? Earth shattering stuff, what would we do without you?
Unbelievably original, congrats!

Jon, was wondering if you could elaborate a bit more. I had not heard that. I would love to believe it as this is the year to shop a young QB. The Vikings just got a 5th and a 7th for Matt Cassel. Would think the Giants could get better for Nassib.
^^^^^ This!
Sure did. As unbelievable as that may seem.
I think he has more value to NYG as a backup with potential for now. Obviously I'd take a 2nd or 3rd rounder for him in a heartbeat but I feel like his actual value in a trade is a fair amount lower than that at this point or at least I'd assume so.
Well said.
I wouldn't move him for a #4 or lower, at that point I'd agree his value as the backup and trying to build him for future trade talks would make more sense to me.
In 2015 Nassib is in his 3rd year of a 4 year deal, so once he enters year 4, he'd have less value IMO, because the Giants are not likely to extend Eli AND give Nassib a 2nd contract nor would he probably want a 2nd contract as a backup. So he's likely to hit free agency.
You'd think he'd at least want an opportunity to compete for a starters job so if Eli is extended it means again IMO, that Nassib's gone after year 4 of his deal.
If the Giants recoup a 3rd round pick for him it would be trading a 4th and a 6th for a 3rd in two years. probably a fair deal.
Yeah, I would be shocked too if he nets a 3rd round pick.
But like I posted earlier there is a lot of stupidity in the NFL around the QB position and a lot of stupid teams. Combine those two and Nassib can possibly get a 3rd.
The guy I had my eye on as a parallel to how the Giants would handle Nassib was Ryan Mallett and the Pats and I hoped the Pats got a high round pick for Mallett, but in the end I think all he got the Pats was a 7th. And Mallett was the classic "first round talent in the third round" cliche. I guess not. And that does not bode well for Nassib. He really just needed a meaningless game with a great performance and it could have benefitted the Giants.
