Trash talk is what DBs/WRs do and the respect in the NFL is earned over time rarely overnight. But regardless of Jenkins shit talking, Pryor put up great numbers as the only option on a shit team with no QB. I would love to have him on the Giants at a fair number.
He also caught 11 balls on the "NYPD" so that has to mean something to folks around here.
I hope it ends the same way. With the players market subtly depressed and the Giants waiting to have a serious conversation with the young man about why we should be the ones to step up to the plate. About how a professional carries himself in this organization(until he nearly shoots himself in the dick). About what it takes and means to win a Superbowl in NY.
OBJ/Pryor/Sheppard combo would be incredibly dynamic.

You're right. That doesn't matter.
I guess my overall point is, why wouldn't the Browns re-sign him with all the cap room he has.
Pryor is that big body WR we're craving, I agree.
When I said I don't want him, I meant I don't want to pay him a ton of money. Depends on his contract.
why all these DBs went out of their way to publicly kill Pryor. Even if he's overrated, the guy can clearly play a capably at WR. The guy topped 1000 yards and just looked solid out there. OK he's not the best route runner or maybe he's a one trick pony he can't be any worse than some of the others.
MAkes no sense why Pryor was blasted from time to time.
that kind of money for Pryor when OBJ will be getting paid soon and Shepard had a great rookie campaign. Nor should they. Spend the money on both lines and find bargains elsewhere.

We should trade OBJ for picks and sign Prior. Problem solved.
Pryor was not only blasted by DB's that he competed against
but teammates as well. Where there is smoke, there is fire. Too many players have bashed him and it's not like we have the most mature WR group in the league.

Probably talks as much shit on the field as Beckham.

One can only hope. I'd take Pryor in a heartbeat under the right deal.
Burress may have been a dumbbell, but the guy was a legit star WR and complete football player, a threat in traffic and down the field, and a willing and effective downfield blocker who played meaningful games for a contending team.
Pryor is a one year wonder from a shit team, with inflated yardage because his team is trailing every week. And a knucklehead too.
Brandon Myer redux, though certainly a better athlete. Let somebody else overpay for him.
opinion, but I've watched him a bit and the talent is absolutely there. This is a different era than when Plaxico was a FA. A lot of teams have 50+M in cap space, a few teams have 75+M. He is going to get paid and I wouldn't be surprised if he was the highest paid FA WR. I just don't think he's a good fit for the Giants because of the money and mix with current WR's. I also don't think that getting a star at the WR position is going to help without fixing the line and if we sign him, we can't fix the line.

Agreed. 100% pass for the money he is getting.
And I'll say I like Pryor more than any other WR on the market (Garcon, Jeffrey, etc.). Jeffrey is 6'3" and eddie royal scored more TDs than him last year. He is a very good WR but not a true #1 IMO. Pryor at least has the potential. He has a dangerous size/speed combo that few have in the league. He also did well with garbage throwing him the ball.
But yeah, pass at his price tag.
'Torrag, Pryor isn't in the same universe as Burress as a player '
...that wasn't the point...and 'same universe'? What does that mean? I was commenting specifically on the potentially similar circumstances for both players free agency. Where their perceived persona perhaps turns off suitors thereby making them more attainable and affordable.
The guy is a total prick. He's a selfish guy who isn't popular with
but teammates as well. Where there is smoke, there is fire. Too many players have bashed him and it's not like we have the most mature WR group in the league.
This. The last thing we'll do is add Pryor to that mix. If we do add a WR it'll be a veteran. Someone who has learned from past mistakes and be a good voice. Or someone like Vincent Jackson--then we add another big body in the draft.

Cmon Victor. Monk Meyer? Pryor is getting slimed , unfairly I think. Not sure I want them to throw a bunch of money at him, but he's an intriguing option.
we can't say anything conclusive without knowing the regard the Giants have for Lewis / King and the guys we had on reserve.
The big body we want may be here.
Most players make the greatest growth in their sophomore year and with OBJ and a matured Shepard it might not take much anyway.
Priorities and limited resources...OLine, OLine, ....
.
He will be worth whatever he commands on the market. He was a dynamic, productive, receiver on the Browns. Imagine what he could be with a guy like Eli throwing him the ball. Not saying the Giants are going to make a serious push to get him, but to say he's not worth what he might get on the market is silly. So the Browns aren't going to tag him, and are not extending him. The Browns are also the worst franchise in the NFL. I hope Hugh Jackson gets things turned around there, but they aren't there yet.
He's in a weird spot as he's getting older (I think 27) but still adjusting to the position. However, he has the physical tools to be a beast and has made massive improvements as a WR.
I think he can be a special player, but as it stands now, he's a good player. Considering that, I can't see why anyone would tag him.
RE: Why do we always advocate taking other teams castoffs
If the Browns, who have a ton of cap space and need talent, don't re-sign him doesn't that tell you something?

He had 1,007 yards being thrown to by ... Kessler? McCown? RG3?
If he will come in for a reasonable amount of money, why not look at him?
But he could do a lot of damage in the next 5 years.
OBJ/Pryor/Sheppard combo would be incredibly dynamic.
One can only hope. I'd take Pryor in a heartbeat under the right deal.
And just how much does that change our draft possibilities?

THANK YOU!! How is this fucking guy all of a sudden a special player?
