I just talked to my guy very briefly. Said he just got this nugget of info. He's not sure why he suddenly got this information, but he thinks numbers are being leaked to try to get the situation to move forward before the draft.
No idea what the structure is, what the guaranteed money is, or how many years.
Just passing it along.

Sounds like asshat info to me...
Minimum 4 years, but as we all know, it's the guarantee money. The guarantee $$ might be holding it up. 4 yrs, $12 mill guaranteed?
Seems about right. I would rather play on a prove it deal than that if i was Hank, not saying he deserves more, just saying he should bet on himself.
Hankins is better than Fairley. They should bump the guaranteed money up a couple of million.
according to the Indianapolis Star, an offer to Hankins from the Colts is unlikely.
I'd only do it if the Postons agreed that it would get the deal done. Otherwise, move forward.
I don't agree.
The deal is more than fair.
Still think the Giants could go DL early in the draft regardless, but Hankins/Snacks back together would be lovely

like a very similar deal to what the Saints gave to Nick Fairley.

They have pretty different skill-sets considering they play the same position. Fairley is much better at generating a pass rush but Hank is better against the run.
-these guys risk their livelihood every down
Why would he not take this?
What's the alternative? A one year prove me deal where he could get injured ?
Quote:
Harrison is considered the best run-stopping defensive tackle in the league.
I don't agree.
This was true after 2015 and when the Giants signed him though. Not sure what's to disagree with.

actually I dont think he is better than Fairley. I think the are about the same player Fairley provided more pass rush.. Hankins more run stopping...
I believe the amount is being leaked because the Giants are growing tired of his agents crap..
I'd only do it if the Postons agreed that it would get the deal done. Otherwise, move forward.
So, this guy totally played his hand wrong, has had a total of one visit, didn't answer his phone for about the first week or two of FA, has one other team truly interested in him and they view him as a backup, and you want to up the offer? Makes sense.
When I was growing up, Moose Skowron opened a sign shop in my home town of Belleville in order to have an adequate annual income.
Don Newcombe made ends meet in the off season by opening liquor store in Newark (Nork for Jersey residents).
Phil Rizzuto and Yogi Berra, after attaining All Star status were able to pool their money and open a bowling alley on Route 3.
I've an MBA and understand economics, and I am a staunch defender of capitalism.
But when is enough enough?
I know the NFL life is short, but I also know you can live a life of luxury off the interest of a lot fewer than 28 million dollars.
What is your purpose in life; to somehow make more than the last Defensive Tackle made; or to play out the sport you love with your friends, in an area you've established roots, and where you have a chance to win a Superbowl?
End of Rant.
