Boom  
Mkdaman1818 : 3/11/2017 8:19 pm : link
There's one
Yes!!!!!!!  
Rjanyg : 3/11/2017 8:19 pm : link
Nice!!!!
Gonna side with Sy'56  
The_Boss : 3/11/2017 8:20 pm : link
He's likely a RG
This helps the right side  
Rjanyg : 3/11/2017 8:20 pm : link
Hopefully Right tackle
Here is to hoping  
robbieballs2003 : 3/11/2017 8:20 pm : link
He gets a huge contract next year.
Prove it!!  
ZogZerg : 3/11/2017 8:20 pm : link
He can't be worse than Newhouse,
Can he?
Good signing  
bigblue12 : 3/11/2017 8:21 pm : link
Likely a starter somewhere on the line
That was a quick dinner.  
Diver_Down : 3/11/2017 8:21 pm : link
He probably saw the rest of the OL roster and lost his appetite.
Interesting  
ChicagoMarty : 3/11/2017 8:21 pm : link
Got any $ numbers?
Alright!  
GiantsRage2007 : 3/11/2017 8:21 pm : link
Even if he plays RG, maybe we grab one of the OL in the draft for RT? That's not a terrible plan I suppose...

Even if you look at it Fluker vs Newhouse, that has to be an upgrade, right?
Nice  
Matt in SGS : 3/11/2017 8:21 pm : link
let's hope that he works out!
Nice!  
EddieNYG : 3/11/2017 8:22 pm : link
Now go sign Austin Pastzor to play RG!
So they didn't let him leave to go to NE  
Mason : 3/11/2017 8:23 pm : link
Says a lot about his commitment to winning.


If he plays well  
Giantfootball025 : 3/11/2017 8:23 pm : link
we resign him. If not we redo this all over again next offseason.
Can Roderick Johnson (FSU) start at RT?  
The_Boss : 3/11/2017 8:23 pm : link
Is that a realistic option?
He's like a potential 3rd rounder?

I was just going to post that
Go get'em kid!  
bceagle05 : 3/11/2017 8:24 pm : link
We need ya.
We really needed this  
NoGainDayne : 3/11/2017 8:24 pm : link
and I love the idea that he's on a one year deal. Every incentive to have a great year for us, any illusions that he's done enough to have a big payday are shattered. He is a talented guy, low risk high reward at our biggest need position.
Did we sign Fluker...  
M.S. : 3/11/2017 8:25 pm : link

...or Flunker?
I knew they had it in them. To make it happen.  
prdave73 : 3/11/2017 8:25 pm : link
Good a year to see what he can do for the Giants. Dont w
We still need  
Giantfootball025 : 3/11/2017 8:26 pm : link
another OL from the draft with a premium pick.
Great!!!  
Marty866b : 3/11/2017 8:27 pm : link
Don't know how this will play out but the reward is much greater then the risk.

Would much prefer Will Holden.
This has great potential, IMO:  
Anakim : 3/11/2017 8:28 pm : link
Ramczyk---Pugh---Richburg---Fluker---Flowers
Now move Flowers to right tackle,  
prdave73 : 3/11/2017 8:28 pm : link
And hope for LT in the Draft. Hopefully..
Was watching some YouTube stuff today  
lono801 : 3/11/2017 8:29 pm : link
The kid has a huge wing span...and seems to play with a nasty streak...

Dwarfs most he goes against...

Guess we shall see
Anakim,  
prdave73 : 3/11/2017 8:29 pm : link
Agree..
Really  
AcidTest : 3/11/2017 8:29 pm : link
no risk. Just have to hope he benefits from a "change of scenery." Would guess that with an anticipated draft pick, that this also means the end of Jerry.
I'd still sign  
Mr. Nickels : 3/11/2017 8:29 pm : link
a guard then draft 2 rookies to compete
Two released players signed  
Jesse B : 3/11/2017 8:30 pm : link
So far Giants have signed two released players and Rhett Ellison and have lost Robbie Gould and Marshall Newhouse.

Hankins signs elsewhere puts Giants in play for a decent compensatory pick next year assuming no more UFA signings.
Fluker and Flowers are two of the strongest guys in the NFL  
Anakim : 3/11/2017 8:30 pm : link
They have horrible feet, but we don't need to worry about their brute strength
Nice!  
TD : 3/11/2017 8:30 pm : link
Nice
He is mammoth  
Rjanyg : 3/11/2017 8:31 pm : link
I hope we can run the damn ball this year.
My  
AcidTest : 3/11/2017 8:31 pm : link
guess is both Ramczyk and Bolles are gone by #23.

It's a $3M deal.

$3mm  
Mkdaman1818 : 3/11/2017 8:32 pm : link
Is a steal in this market. Wouldn't be shocked if he ends up being our RG.
Nice ...  
Beer Man : 3/11/2017 8:33 pm : link
Its clearly a gamble the DJ will become that pro everyone thought he would. But for one year it is worth taking. Hopefully he and Flowers will blossom (no pun intended)

had to get someone. He's as good as any that's left. With Fluker, I wonder about his ability to pick up stunts and twists. He's feet aren't great frankly.

Yes. But hopefully ag the very least the Giants will be able to run the ball, it's been far too long since they were able to do that.

Twice what Warmack got. Tells me he'll probably be at RT unless they draft Ramcyzk or Bolles. Also leaves them 1-2 million over the cap.

I appreciate your logic but hoping for a starting rookie LT at #23 in a draft class that seems to be week on the OL seems dicey
I can hear the Evil Sith Lord Belichick calling out  
Beer Man : 3/11/2017 8:39 pm : link
with his Jedi mind trick "Fluk come to the dark side, together we rule the NFL"
Do we now concede we're unlikely to bring Hank back?

Or is that somehow possible?
