Any chance the Giants are involved in the Greg Hardy chase ?

jripper420 : 3/13/2015 2:53 pm
ESPN is reporting that Greg Hardy may be close to signing with an unnamed team. Any chance we take a shot ??

If he signs in the NFC east its going to be a long year for Eli.
If I was the Raiders with all

their cap space I would take a chance on him. Huge talent, but a horrible human.
I don't think they're involved in anything right now

Doubtful...

This is an organization that once signed Christian Peter.
Bad PR to say the least....  
BillKo : 3/13/2015 3:05 pm : link
and I mean, this isn't even a guy who served time for what he did.

Instead, he paid off the plantiff............

Eh doubtful, though our defense could use a talent like him.  
732NYG : 3/13/2015 3:06 pm : link
I know the Giants are not perfect in regards to having players with questionable histories (LT, Meggett, etc), but I would be shocked if we signed a guy like Hardy.
My guess is  
Amtoft : 3/13/2015 3:09 pm : link
he will sign a 1 year deal to improve his status... If he was looking for a place then the Giants who like to run a 4 DE package on 3rd and long plus have a strong DE on the other side to take of extra pressure would be a good place. Especially since the Giants are a place you can go and rebuild your rep. That being said it won't happen.
doubt it  
bc4life : 3/13/2015 3:13 pm : link
the reported event sounded real ugly - you bring that into a high profile market like NY - that will be an ongoing story until he leaves.

What did Kerry ever do?
Kerry Collins  
bc4life : 3/13/2015 3:17 pm : link
used the word "nigger" in a misguided attempt to fit in with black players, undoubtedly because he heard them use it. and he was under the influence - doesn't really make him a racist, just someone with a drinking problem and cultural awareness deficiency.

not the same thing as physically attacking a woman.
Will be awhile before you see a Peter-type situation touched again  
JonC : 3/13/2015 3:20 pm : link
That was 15+ years ago? Things have changed, teams and the public are uber sensitive to scrutiny and image. Collins was a boozer who needed to sober and wise up, Peter had bigger documented issues.
So your telling me we have a chance....  
Beer Man : 3/13/2015 3:21 pm : link
I'm guessing he will command a larger contract than the Giants can afford
Wasn't

Never went to trial, he paid off the accuser.
Why not yake a look  
mrvax : 3/13/2015 3:34 pm : link
and keep him on a short leash if signed. Maybe make him undergo anger management classes. Don't take away his PEDs though, he'd end up useless to everyone.

Good thing was that it forced him to address his alcohol issues.
What if the Giants signed him.

Then traded JPP to the Raiders for their 1st rounder this year? (#4)

Na, has to be zero tolerance for hitting women.

Bum Phillips said it best " I don't expect the players to be angels, but at a minimum we should be able to expect highly paid athletes to obey the law" (*and this wasn't some borderline petty offense, it was domestic violence).

Rumor has it that the Raiders are getting smarter....so probably not
Hardy wasn't cleared ....  
Beer Man : 3/13/2015 3:46 pm : link
The charges against him were dropped when his accuser, former girlfriend, refused to cooperate with the district attorney after reaching a financial settlement with him.

Have you been watching the Giants long?  
JohnB : 3/13/2015 4:55 pm : link
The Giants stopped getting the low class, high quality players a few years ago. A few still hang around but now they are getting team captains, solid citizens and good locker room members.

Greg Hardy? Never. They have moved on from these types of players.

That would be totally awesome if they could pull that off...Either the scenario you laid out....or sign JPP long term. If the Giants were to sign Hardy and trade JPP....I would go:

(4) Beasley
(9) (1)Shelton
(9) (2)White or Cooper
(9) (3)Shereef
I hope not  
chris r : 3/13/2015 11:45 pm : link
seems like a pretty bad person.
Greg Hardy  
Jersey55 : 3/14/2015 11:12 am : link
I'm thinking that at some point we have to put this Giants image for choir boys to bed and go after the talent that other teams do. Just take a look at our record these last few years and see how that thinking is working for us. If Hardy is available to us I would hope we bring him in because this guy has talent and thats something we're a little short on right now..
