Don't expect anything with free agent CB Jerraud Powers and the #Giants today. Visit appears to have ended w/o a deal

If a sports writer wrote something like that, even in jest, he would be fired without hesitation.


You mean kinda like when Michael Irvin said that Tony Romo "had a little slave in his heritage" after seeing him able to play basketball well? Irvin seems to be doing fine.

I don't have them handy, but what about Stephen A. Smith casting all kinds of aspersions on whites?

Not saying racism doesn't still exist, But the dbl standard has o go before there is progress to be made.

So what are you saying? That the comment wasn't racist?

learned a lesson about over spending on 2nd team, 3rd team, and special team players. Pay the premium for players with star power, but guys like Powers can be picked up later in the draft.

1.7m can hardly be classified as an overpay. That's second string money.

I watched a few Cardinals games last year and thought Powers played admirably replacing the Cardinals starting CB when he went down. At the time I thought he would have made a good nickel back for the Giants and a good backup to Prince who was always hurt.

I don't think the Giants are cheap. It's hard to call any organization that shells out $200 million in salary cheap. Right now it's hard to make any definitive judgment because we don't know the numbers discussed but if they come out or if Powers signs elsewhere I don't think it's unfair to question whether Reese is being penny wise and pound foolish depending on the terms.
Who said it was Reese's decision?

It appears JR fiddles while The NYG's burn. How many have come in for a visit and left with no deal. Hey JR, we need a slot corner. Hello, hello is any one there?



You realize we could easily get a slot CB in the draft, right? IMO, this draft is very deep in CB talent and lots of Day 2 and Day 3 options are there.


and how long would it take for any of these guys to become pro ready if they ever do....
Not a winner now...

Unless they throw a bunch of money at people, which they
did on Day one of free agency....people aren't signing here.
I mean Okung didn't want to play here, and Denver also got creative with their deal. JR doesn't have the foresight or
creativity to get something like that done.
Maybe Powers wants to see if there is a starter position
available elsewhere as well. That wasn't happening here.
20 Mill left?  
Carson53 : 4/2/2016 12:56 pm : link
What are they saving it for, next year?
I am accounting for the rookie pool with that number, give or take a mill. or so.
What would a BBI thread be..

Okung wanted big money and he's been hurt. JR wasn't wasting money when they are trying to get healthier.

But Vernon signed here when Jax was offering big $$, too. Powers might be back, but he's not starting outside over Jenkins and DRC. Slot CB maybe.

JR spent the money where he needed to do it. No sense in wasting money when there are our own people needing re-ups in the next year.
Okung signed for basically one year $5M.  
Devon : 4/3/2016 6:58 pm : link
With hitting all his incentives (unlikely), it maxes out to $8M. Zero guaranteed money, zero long term commitment by the Broncos.

The Giants clearly just didn't want him or he clearly had no interest in signing with them.
