I have been done with JR since he decided that MLB and S are lower on the priority list of any positions on the field.



Did they draft Collins to play DL or am I missing something here?


He waited until the position was so devoid of talent that had he not drafted one this year it would've been his job.
That's actually not what happened

when you remember that they pushed pretty hard to get Devin McCourty at the start of Free Agency, and the Pats paid him big money.

they are giving him reps at RB because they see great potential in him at RB.

He was actually playing both ways in practice.

There was NO excuse for JR to let this kid walk. I have been done with JR since he decided that MLB and S are lower on the priority list of any positions on the field.

It's time to get a new GM.

Pretty sure this is an incredibly stupid post. If I'm wrong, so be it, but it's Coughlin and staff who decides who stays and goes.

Reese and co. are in charge of aquisition and salary management. The coaches are in charge of cuts.
Everyone has an argument..

to fit their stance.

Nat Berhe and Cooper Taylor are called pieces of shit for being injured and preety much people want them off the oster because they've been hurt.

James was hurt and people think getting rid of him was a colossal mistake.

It is madness around here.

Like I've said - the way people talk about Reese - it is like he inherited the SB rings, got into the position and put together a string of 4-12 seasons with no talent whatsoever.
Ten Ton Hammer: the Giants still had

Dallas Reynolds on the roster when they signed Walton. The Giants could have played Reynolds at C, Richburg at LG and IMO have the same results as playing Walton at C,

Sorry but IMO signing and playing Walton and paying him $3M was another mistake by Reese.

I agree Walton was a bad signing and contract. Most people that post here said so the day it was signed. Just like the 3 free agent who got guaranteed money this free agent period to play roles usually filled by players making much less money who were drafted or college free agents. But if you think changing GM's is going to change the way the Giants pick players both from college and NFL free agents I think you're wrong. I don't think it matters who the GM is at this point. I think one or more of the owners are making the final calls on picking most of the players.
If you want to say he was overpaid, fine  
Ten Ton Hammer : 8/31/2015 12:43 pm : link
but it was a one-year deal with zero long term impact. Dallas Reynolds can't be the reason why you don't take a low-risk chance to improve a position. That's not smart roster construction.
With no Baas, I liked the signing, especially  
Big Blue '56 : 8/31/2015 12:49 pm : link
with a rookie Richburg..Didn't work out...There are tons of signings around the league that don't work out..
The only question would have..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 8/31/2015 12:52 pm : link
been where else to spend the money, but that money is a sunk cost that had no carry over effect to 2015.

Like said above, it was worth a shot and it failed. And that failure impact is minimal.
FatMan: a question for you  
Steve Filipowicz : 8/31/2015 3:08 pm : link
If Reese had not wasted the money on Walton's contract, would that money have qualified as a carryover for the 2015 Cap?
No..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 8/31/2015 3:28 pm : link
unused cap money doesn't carryover.
And even if it HAD carried over  
Ten Ton Hammer : 8/31/2015 3:46 pm : link
they were not hung up for cap space this offseason.
