Brandon Marshall signs with Giants

Harris IMO.

For one, Marshall SUCKS!! There is a reason he bounces from team to team. 2 he is injury prone. And finally he is a jackass. I can't wait for the Giants to lose a close game and either he or OBJ complains they aren't getting the ball enough. The Giants didn't have a problem passing the ball. They had a problem pass blocking. How about spending money on the OL? I guess we will get our guy in the draft until we pass him up for another DL.

His bouncing from team to team has absolutely nothing to do with "sucking". What a ridiculous statement. 941 career catches over 12,000+ yards 82 TD's

rather have him at this price that Pryor for double any day. I hope it works out.

He just needs to be better than Victor Cruz's corpse. This offense needed to get bigger and more physical...Marshall does that.

Opens the options at #23 to draft TE/RB/DE.....I like it a lot.

Boom.

Very reasonable contract. Creates some flexibility on draft day.

2015 he was a monster with good QB play. His style of play has never been speed... It's been physical and strong. Perfect fit and compliment. Nailed this pick.

Add me some Njoku and weapons galore!!!

signing. Perfect complement for what the Giants have at WR right now.

Get OL and TE help now, bring back Hank and JPP, go to war.

Just curious.

and thanks Slade for the info......

for the money imo.

too funny drkenneth!!!

but sadly true

is the perfect player to take a chance on. He's produced, we need a big WR, and he took a below market salary to stay in NY and have a chance at some playoff football. Even if Eli is declining, look at who was throwing Marshall the ball the last few years. Yikes.

He is a perfect compliment and an actual veteran finally joining our WR staff. He will thrive in a well run organization

That's all I have to say about that

Though an end of career guy wasn't the kind of guy they would want and it certainly hasn't been. But great. Someone to keep defenses honest should be a great addition.

Now go get an OL not named Okung or Reiff and you're heavy lifting is over until the draft. And, yes, that means I'm ok with Hank walking.

that was different than the ones we had and a VET to provide leadership and stability. Marshall is the perfect fit for RIGHT now... Gmen can win the whole thing and with that window of opportunity open for onlly so long you have to take your shot.

he's had 6 seasons with over 100 catches. if that sucks, I'll take the suck.

He is a bit of a hothead BUT he is a GREAT WR. His production alone speaks for itself.

I think it's a good fit as he doesn't have to be THE GUY. Think of like an end of career Marvin Harrison when they had Wayne.

His family must love NY. He gets to do his Showtime show, Giants get a discount and Marshall gets a legit chance at the playoffs.

Really Gets Tiring When People Post and all the Negative
Crap comes out of the same group and then other idiots
pile on . Not everyone is an expert but loves there
Giants football and should be respected when asked a
question that may be obvious to most rather than mock
them just give then an answer instead of this snide
remarks and piling on .
We Needed a Guy with Size Maybe BM becomes Plax Part Two
I am surprised but I am glad they got a proven Vet to
Help OBJ

Marshall has always been one of the league's best blocking WRs:

Huge upgrade from Cruz to Marshall. Some mild risk/ concerns but for that contract its a no brainer. Great signing and first big WR they've had since Plax ( and Ramses Barden.....)

A big target, huge need

Now fix our offensive line Jerrry!! Please please please!!

A WR Again early. While he's had success this year the WR crop is thin thin thin.

TE OL or LB round one. Got to think someone will slip out of those three

are prepared to cure the cancer that is Brandon Marshall for the next two years. Bitches.

Great signing. Give me an solid OL and BPA in the draft, were golden.

Now we don't have to force and early pick on WR.

Finalize a JPP extension, get a Tackle and draft a stud TE.

Six-time Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall is n't very good

great signing

Thank you for the asshatery. Even though Slade created a separate thread, you broke it first even if the posts were buried in another thread.

Very, very happy with this signing.

I am so happy about this.

Thanks sir. Great to hear. Will help our run game and maybe will rub off on Odell and SS.

wonder if the best move now is working a trade for Joe Thomas (2nd round?) and drafting a TE in the 1st. Okung is an upgrade but Thomas is the jackpot.

OBJ - Shepard - Njoku - Brandon Marshall

with

Joe Thomas blocking the blind side

and

Perhaps a nice power back (Blount, Lacy, Perine?) to "finish" things off? Would give us the look of a Championship squad.

It would be a move for Eli (and not the longterm health of the franchise) but he deserves it after what we've put him through, up front.

I agree. You don't pass on a future stud based on this signing. The Marshall signing is for today and should make us more dangerous by opening the field for both receivers and running backs. I like it.

Now we can draft a WR later in draft unless a steal falls to us

Marshall takes pride in his blocking and has always been good at that.

Marshall was graded at #11 last year in run blocking according to PFF. His physical play out the outside should be able to open up some plays to that side the Giants would not normally run.

scare me a bit. I question how much desire he has left, but at this price it's worth bringing him in for a year.

absolutely nothing negative about this move or the terms to lock him up.
I'm sure someone will find something to complain about ... but this move is a no brainer for Marshall and the Giants.

Now, use the money you saved by signing Marshall > Pryor/Alshon and go get 1 of these vet OL, extend JPP, and grab 1 of these rookie TEs.

What were they thinking, he is affordable for them.
They don't have a lot to spend, doesn't excite me either,
but that is your answer. He will be either good for
Beckham and Co., or toxic, we'll see?

I justed drooled thinking about that, gonna keep my fingers cross all of that happens. With hopefully the addition of a solid G pickup in the draft as well.

WR wasn't as much of a need as OL, DE, and LB but Marshall is a perfect complement for OBJ and great blockers as well as great in the redzone.. I also assume that snacks had some good things to say about him.. Now just fix the OL and we should kick ass next year.

And supposedly not a great guy in the locker room.

But as others have mentioned, he's a big, strong, legit #2 WR, which they desperately needed (a big upgrade over Ruben Randle). If teams ignore him to double OBJ, Marshall will make them pay.

If he doesn't become too much of a distraction, he's a good 2-year rental that solves a problem.

is very weird sometimes. When has Jerry Reese ever given the impression he will pass on a young talent because he signed a 33 year old? This is what you call a bridge signing, a stop gap (with some real 2017-2018 upside). If Reese loves a WR in the first or second he's not passing because he signed Brandon Marshall to a moderate short term deal c'mon.

assume Marshall sees post football opportunities in NY, that might evaporate if he left the city to finish his career. Taking less allows him to preserve those opportunities by staying in NY. And it gives him a chance to reach the playoffs.

It always works out for us when we bring over a former Jet.

- Give us the big receiver Eli loves.
- Gives us the red zone threat we need.
- Gives us the flexibility to not have to chase a TE early in draft. While BPA is "always" the rule of the day, it allows them to focus on OL if they want.
