The grass is only greener when it represents the color of money. Even then, sometimes it is best served to stay where you are. This is the perception versus reality debate defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins must be waging, as NFL free agency is more than two weeks old and he has not found a new team, nor has he returned to his old team. Limbo is no place to be when big bucks get thrown around and none of it is tossed your way. Eventually, that game of catch dries up... (More) |
I'm not so sure about that, I think it's his performance in 2016 with all the talent around him that's causing interest in him to wane.
But in the article Schwartz refers to the Baltimore DT striking gold, getting $10 million a year. Meanwhile Hankings' re-done contract was 5 for $46m?
Honestly, $9.2 million and he still not signed?
Sorry. I just have no sympathy for someone looking at, and scoffing at that kind of payday.
The DEAL, LLC - ( New Window )
I don't see how a rotational gig in Miami is better than re-signing with the Giants.
And, I don't understand Schwartz suggesting the Giants up the offer. If anything, the offer is going the other way.
Hankins needs to get himself in better shape and focus on getting better this year so he can eventually get paid.
Haha, what a shitty website. Want to attract top talent, don't slap together a shit website. There's a reason you pay a premium for a good agent...
And if there are other bidders, I doubt he gives us a hometown discount...he's probably a little raw we ponied up for Snacks and Vernon last year and JPP this year (as we should have) and are playing hardball with him
I know he's "our guy" and people are still psychologically damaged by the tragic losses of Cofield/Griffin/Joseph over the years [I really did love Griffin], but Hankins is nothing special - and the rest of the NFL agrees.
He's a good player. He would not be a huge loss on a line with JPP/Vernon/Snacks already here. He would not make a good defense great. He is not a "playmaker". He's good. I'd love him back, but his initial contract demands were a joke - which is why a good, young DT is still sitting there. It'll only get worse for him as the draft nears.
Right now, if he had a better offer, I'm pretty sure he'd have jumped on it.
It harder
He may have. A better one year offer for
Another team
It a better long term one from the Giants.
No an easy decision. And who knows if his agent or him really ha e a plan or an clue.
Joe aren't you more of an X and O's type guy? Correct me if I'm wrong, when Hankins switched from a 3 tech to the 1 tech his job is essentially to take on double teams and free up the rest of line? So you would expect his numbers to be down in that position compared to the other players around him?
if the giants really are offering that, I highly highly doubt he's getting significantly more anywhere else. the big money waves in free agency are all done.
If he signs elsewhere and it is for somewhat big money, we get a comp pick as our big ticket signings were cuts.
I wonder if the union is going to start asking questions about the lack of free agent action and the seemingly growing number of one year deals.
The franchise number for DT is around $13 million.
Where did all those posters go? Strange indeed.

People were so vocal about tagging him, and the only compelling reason was age. Backing up the Brinks truck for a guy that played one good year, and the others being so-so sounds like a great plan!
