Kenny Britt

Essex : 2/18/2017 5:03 pm
We should make a play on him. He has really turned around his life, was always talented, had 1,000 yards in the dumpster fire of a Rams offense, I think he was up there with AB and Amari Cooper with 40+ yard plays. i would imagine Britt with OBJ and Shep in slot might make up for our lack of a tight end. Would really like to see him made a priority FA signing this off season.
I'm with you on this.  
Big Blue '56 : 2/18/2017 5:09 pm : link
He seems to have put his troubles behind him, though not sure his old stomping grounds would be the best thing for him..As a tall bookend to OBJ, bring it on..I only go by last year's production. Prior to that means little TO ME
A tall WR on the opposite side of OBJ  
GiantsRage2007 : 2/18/2017 5:18 pm : link
AND a TE threat down the middle, and better OL, and... ok, ok, I'm getting ahead of myself here...

Bring Britt onboard!
Hoping one of the top two Wide Outs  
est1986 : 2/18/2017 6:00 pm : link
Mike Williams or Corey Davis is our guy. Wouldnt be mad if Britt was brought in but i think 1st or 2nd round we will go WR if a good WR prospect is there. But i wouldnt mind seeing another year with OBJ, SS, King, Lewis Jr, Harris if we improve our O-Line and RB group, maybe a Whitworth and a AP for a short term last push.
If he's done  
TommyWiseau : 2/18/2017 6:28 pm : link
with all his nonsense then I would consider it. He is a good football player who probably won't break the bank
You're going to be so pissed when he signs with the Eagles

Watching a lot of Ram games this season  
Stan in LA : 2/18/2017 6:42 pm : link
And Britt was excellent. Made the tough catch, was constantly open and great YAC. He would have had even more if many of the balls thrown to him were accurate.
Has he turned his life around  
SimpleMan : 2/18/2017 7:27 pm : link
or has he been far away enough from NJ?

Serious question. If he was here he would be very close to home.
No No

His dad said several years ago that being in NJ is the worst thing for Kenny

Quote:
Jack Britt believes that his son, Titans receiver Kenny Britt, needs to be out of his hometown of Bayonne, New Jersey and back in Nashville.

“I’m worried about him all the time,” Jack Britt told Conor Orr and Matthew Stanmyre of the Newark Star-Ledger in an article that takes a thorough look at Britt’s history of off-field issues. “But my concern is not with Kenny, per se, it’s more with Kenny’s friends, and he knows that. He has too many friends with too much free time.

“He needs to be around more positive people.”

Sanu is making $7.5m per.

No thanks.
As Toth said  
adamg : 2/18/2017 10:44 pm : link
And per Spotrac.com his market value is said to be around 6.7 million per year. That's a waste for our needs. Mid round pick or an older cheaper vet makes much more sense.
Forget Britt

I would rather have Brian Quick his teammate.
Just starting to come into his own and definitely doesn't have the baggage Britt has.

He is 28
Nope, better, younger, faster options in the draft.

stretch234 : 2/19/2017 10:44 am : link
He would be an excellent fit here, but you would have to absolutely make sure he could handle being back in NJ - it is a big question. He is big, can run and has good hands

What has Quick done to warrant anything - he has 105 catches in 67 career games - and he will be 28.

I would like to see Britt or Garcon as the more cost effective options. Just get something on the outside to make defenses have to defend the other side of the field

Yeah, Manningham and Bradshaw sure were busts. Cruz wasn't even drafted, I guess that means we lucked into him.
My preference is not to spend any money on a free agent WR.  
Klaatu : 2/19/2017 10:57 am : link
Thanks to all of the rule changes we're seeing rookie WRs make more of an immediate impact than they ever did in the past, so I'd rather draft a good compliment to Beckam and Shepard and put our free agent money to better use.

The trouble with Marshall is, he is too much of what I call
a clubhouse lawyer, there is a reason he has bounced around so much. Of the WR's available, I like Pryor, I see upside there, don't want a smallish WR for example.

True, but since he has been on his meds, he's done very well, imo..I wouldn't count last year as tge "ship be sinking" was far from limited to him, imv

XBRONX : 2/19/2017 12:18 pm : link
How many years ago you talking about? Cruz wasnt drafted and happened to be from Jersey.
With Shepard in the fold and OBJ's monster deal looming...  
Milton : 2/19/2017 12:35 pm : link
It doesn't make sense to spend big bucks on a long term contract for a #2 WR. The Giants need to find a vet WR willing to sign a one-year deal. This is what Michael Crabtree and Hakeem Nicks did a couple or so years ago, for one it worked out, for the other it didn't.

Here's what I wrote on another thread...
Quote:
I'm looking for someone willing to accept a one year deal in an effort to enhance their stock for 2018 free agency. Robert Woods on a one-year $3M deal would be nice. And then draft a WR. Or not.

With Woods (or someone similar) on a one-year deal, it would mean that come draft day the Giants could use a 1st round pick on a WR or no picks on a WR without worrying about the consequences on the cap and/or roster going forward.

On the other hand, if they were to sign someone like Britt to a big money long term contract, it kind of precludes drafting a WR early because the logjam would be untenable and it would also create an unnecessary burden on the cap once OBJ is given his monster deal.

. We have already have another idiot on the other side that plays grab ass in warmups but can't catch footballs in big games, we do not need another. Time to find some adults to play for our team.

Understood. But it was also a contract year for him. Will he play hard if he gets some decent money? I'd rather take a one year flyer on him. No more than two. He has to prove he really wants this. With OBJ and Shep he's going to get some one on one situations where he can eat. The question is how hungry is he?

The thing is, there is no "make sure". It's you think maybe, and then it's a risk. I don't think I'd take that risk in putting him back in his old stomping grounds near his old crew.

And I did at one time think Britt was a perfect fit. He is as a football player. Too risky, though.

I'd definitely take Sanu, though.
