I think he's a great backup but meh as a starter.
Say he's cheap, like 2 mill a year, would you bring him back?
I'm not against him coming back but would rather sign someone better and draft a dude too.
I like Hart and Jones as backups too
A backup lineup of Newhouse, Jones, Hart, Jerry would be very deep, maybe too deep, but having those 4 guys as backups would make a Pugh ankle sprain mid season a bit easier.
We need new blood tho at starter and don't be shocked to see Flowers stay at Lt
Also shocked Beatty got zero burn all year
Gotta get the OL on point
I like Adams but we need a legit vet TE also
This offense is a mess
At the same time let's keep upgrading our D tho. Keep it super strong
Bring him in. Bam.
Amazing how the best in a decade hype was a miss.
Jerry, nah.
.
He's better a pass blocking than run blocking. Doesn't matter what running system you use.

Something has to be said..
The Flowers thing has gotten out of hand. The kid is 22 years old and a work in progress.
His future may be at a different position, but he has more promise than John fucking Jerry.
The hyperbole around here is ridiculous.
Who is playing RT in this scenario? Hart is at present our starting RT.

Agree completely.
As for 2016, I think the OL was a case of "can't fix everything at once," as JonC repeatedly reminded us. With Jerry now approaching his 31st birthday, I doubt he's any more of a fixture in the team's plans than he was two years ago. I expect his to get a decent offer to return - probably high-end backup money. But if he can get starter money elsewhere, the Giants will probably wish him luck in his future endeavors.
Jerry does get points for durability. In three years with the Giants, he hasn't missed a game.
I'd like him back to push a draft pick. This teams needs to sign 3 linemen just to replace Beatty, Newhouse, and Jerry. Not to mention likely moving Hart to a backup role and Flowers to another spot.
Hart might be a better player next year. There's reason to be hopeful with him. Perkins and Shepard too. Add another OL and RB that can play to this team and the offense gets even better. Two solid players. Of course TE or FB could use help but maybe Will Johnson comes back and they add TE via the draft or FA.
Sometimes the best thing you can do for a struggling player is to add talent to the unit.

Newhouse is a very important player to re-sign as he played surprisingly well at guard and he could be an excellent backup as he can play 4 positions on the offensive line. Assuming the Giants bring in a new LT and move Flowers to RG the backup offensive linemen look solid with Newhouse, Hart, and Jones.

Sorry I meant move Flowers to RT.
One FA and OT with the #1 pick and let's go
Kinda warming up to Joe Thomas. Is a #3 enough?
I tend to agree...

Flowers needs to be moved inside (G). I don't see him at RT: they'll run around him and push him into the backfield there too.

A #3 doesn't even get the conversation started.
