At 6 '4' 223 lbs...Pryor would give the Giants a "Plaxico Burruss" type receiver to match along with Odell Beckham...
Pryor never played the position prior to this season and had an outstanding rookie season at the position for the hapless Browns...becoming the Browns go to receiver...facing double and triple teams game in and game out...
Prior is big and even faster and more athletic then Burress running a 4.35 at his combine and still young at only 27 years old...
He fits the model of player that Jerry likes to sign...relatively young player with his best football ahead of him...
If Pryor can get targeted 140 X for 77 receptions and 1007 yards on the season.. as the Browns only real weapon and garbage at QB...what kind of #s will this guy put up with Eli at QB and OBJ on the opposite side??
We as fans can only dream of Prior paired on the opposite side of OBJ...with Sterling Sheppard in the slot...this is a way to help the OL and offense in general by opening it up and eliminate 8 man fronts...you combine that with targeting a TE weapon like OJ Howard Alabama in the 1st in this year's draft...interior OL or RB in the 2nd...maybe a stop gap LT like Whitworth...and the Giant can quickly remake the O into a dangerous top 5 unit...
I sure hope Jerry considers it..and love to make this happen...the only negative...the cat is out of the bag on Pryor and lots of teams thinking the same thing so it won't be cheap...Any thoughts?
Why Pryor is Disliked Around the NFL - (
New Window )
Who'd have thought the Browns could actually do anything right?
I don't think he is on the Giants radar. Talent-wise, he would be perfect. But the $$$ may be too much, considering the other areas of need.
Brian Hartline:
“If I’m building a team, what is [Pryor]?” Hartline said, via Ohio.com. “Is he my No. 1? God, I hope not because let’s put it this way: For me, I want a guy day in and day out I know what I’m getting. You don’t know what you’re going to get. You don’t know who’s going to show up. You don’t know if he’s going to get in trouble. You don’t know if he’s going to smart off. I need stability. That’s so more important to me. I need a guy that runs routes. I need stability. I need constant production. Is he a No. 2? OK, yeah. I mean maybe. He kind of disappeared the last couple weeks. So I’m very apprehensive as a Cleveland Browns guy to give out a contract. Listen, you had one year. You’re a flash in the pan. You’re trying to tell me with a guy that had suspect personality characteristics, I’m going to go ahead and hand you a bunch of money but you’re going to work harder? Uh, I think I’m going to bet against that if I’m a betting man.”
Alex Boone, when asked about QBs he blocked for at OSU:
"Unfortunately I had Terrelle Pryor, too," Boone said on KFAN in Minnesota. "I could not stand any minute with him.
"The kid was so arrogant at the time. I hated everything about him."
The Giants like to sign young ascending players by projecting into the future not looking at the past...Jerry took heat this offseason for signing Vernon for essentially one season...my post is a projection of what the Giants personnel department might be thinking...if they see it like I do...that Pryor is big & fast and an absolute phenomenal athlete...with upside...the need to try to do what they need to to get Pryor...on top of that the main reason I want Pryor...it will curtail the double and triple teaming of OBJ and open up opportunities for the leagues best WR...I also see 70-80 receptions...1,300 yards...and 8-10 TD for Pryor plus the added benefit of more open targets for OBJ...
100% agree...JPP is a must resign and priority #1...Hankins #2...and extending Odell #3...love to see Pryor in Blue but maybe not realistic in light of the cap situations and the $$$ this player will command...for those that say Pryor is lazy...how many players can make a transition from QB to top WR in one season...might be immature...but definitely not lazy...it takes hard work to do that...plus all world athletics...
He's got some baggage.
We just allocated 8M for Pugh....
What about JPP? Hankins? Robinson? We need replacements if not re-signed....we need a linebacker....we need a FS....we need another corner....
You want to cut players like Cruz, Jennings, Vereen, DRC(?)? Guess what? You have to replace them.....
And what about the offense.....we need to fix this OL immediately......we need another RB....we need a TE.....we need a WR.....we need quality depth at so many positions.....there is only so much cap money.....we will probably just get one starter from the draft....
This team is more than one or two players away from being a serious contender....
A significant upgrade can be made using either option.
At age 25 he is an ascending player with the best years in front of him. He has the speed to take the top off the "D" and he improved his route running; and here's the best part he should be a low cost signing.
Fitz would be ideal player but would have to be obtained by trade
Id like to see if Torrey Smith will shake loose in San Fran.
Another guy id consider is Desean Jackson from Wash
He is the Plax-like WR Eli can throw open whenever he feels like it.
Get JPP back on D and you've got yourself a contender. IMO.
I dunno... I think paying someone based more upon their past performance than what you project their future performance to be is not the way to go. If you evaluate Pryor's performance and are very confident it reflects the direction his career is going in, I prefer that to assuming an older player will continue upon his multiple seasons of success.

What would Jeffrey command for a contract? Whitworth and JPP will suck up a good amount of the FA dollars.
You clearly haven't been paying attention then because there have been a ton of reports in the recent past about him and about people hating him and saying he's a problem.
Plus he's a knucklehead.
Risky move.
I'd rather sign Kenny Britt or Stills for less.
Although for those saying he is immature, it's fair to point out he replied to the tweet in an appropriate manner by saying, "You are a great corner! Solid defender! You played a great game. God bless!! Good luck the rest of the year." To me this doesn't seem satirical and is an example of him trying to regain better reputation.

I think Pryor is a phony. I think he'll say one in public and another in private. I agree we won't target him not only for money reasons but because we're - rightfully - married to Jackrabbit. Still, I think Pryor is a douche bag who hides his douche-bagginess.
he made his money and is on tale end of career
he is super interested in animation
so LA or NYC is where he is going to end up ..
“There’s not a player that has worked as hard as Terrelle Pryor. I’m talking about putting the time in,” Hawkins said. “Terrelle will text me at 1 o’clock in the morning like, ‘Hey, do you think this play is going to get called?’ I’m like, ‘Terrelle, I’m off the clock. Don’t talk to me, I’ve got kids.’ He’s like, ‘Aw, yeah, man, I have no life. This is my life. Something’s wrong with me.’ But this is who he is. He’s the first one in the facility, he’s the last one to leave … To see where he is now is amazing.”

Just unreal.
Brava. Fucking incredible the childish, keyboard diarrhea we have todeal with until mini camp. Ugh.

I'm not sure if any of you remember, but this season after the matchup against Cleveland, Janoris Jenkins took to Twitter and tweeted out, "You a shit eater to me, u really sucks". So I think besides cap issues, this fiasco and rumors of his off field behavior might draw the Giants away from him.

He hides it? Didnt hide it on the bench during our game in Cleveland.
Fuck him.
Why King didn't get more snaps puzzles me because he was the
best playmaker in preseason games. The problems are:
1. Inadequate pass coverage with little time to throw
deep.
2. Same offensive schemes game after game
3. Tight ends who can't block.
What happened to the fullbacks,Johnson and Whitlock?
Did the Giants cut them? If they didn't,then the coaches
are partially to blame for the poor offense and not making
changes. The Giants need a couple of OL's and a TE who can
block plus a more creative offensive scheme(s).
