Dudes... Hankins has been told by many to fire his agent...

Indy laughed at him. For some reason he is still holding on to the bum.
Looks like they held their ground and got better offer than what the Giants had out there. Same guaranteed money, higher AAV, and a chance to be an FA again sooner (he'll only be 27 after this deal ends).
Would've loved to keep him here but seems like he wasn't willing to give even a single dollar of a hometown discount for us.
and I am glad we didn't pay him $6+ million per year. We are better off even though most on here will think I am crazy.
I'm glad he got his money but would've been ok with paying him 6 per.
Don't understand the animosity some are showing towards him though.
I have no animosity toward him. I just don't think he is a great player. He had one good year and that was like 3 years ago on a horrendous team. We can put that money to better use imo.
Glad we can all move on now. Honestly am not grinding teeth about losing him. But a FA and/or early draft pick at DT is now a priority. The good thing is, this draft is very deep at DT. The Giants should have their pick at several good options in both the 1st and 2nd round, at least.
to have lost more FAs than we have signed. So, who have we lost and who have we signed. I don't think we are eligible for a comp pick yet are we? We lost Hankins but signed Ellison who else have we lost? Newhouse? Maybe we are eligible.
for him, and despite all the criticism towards them, his agents did a great job. That's a lot more than I thought he'd get.
We'll draft a run stuffing DT on day three at the least. DeAngelo Brown from Louisville would be a nice pick. No need to panic, especially since Thomas looked good in his limited snaps.
The Arthur Jones experiment didn't work out well in Indy, and David Parry is in trouble with the law. They recently signed journeyman Al Woods, but Hankins is much better than Woods or the other mediocre DTs on their roster.
was projecting a 10 mil a season contract for Hankins would land the Giants a 4th round comp pick. If we turn around and sign Odrick since he was cut, he would not count against the compensatory formula so the likelihood of getting a 4th would stay high. Link - ( New Window )

That is because he got Irsay drunk before they started throwing numbers around and the Postons did the old Bugs Bunny routine where he tricks Elmer Fudd.

Did he have any?
Half a mil more than the Giants offered on a 4 year deal.
I'd rather have Marks.
I'm glad he got his money but would've been ok with paying him 6 per.

That's a lot of money for a run stuffing DT with little to no pass rush ability.
Would've loved to keep him here but seems like he wasn't willing to give even a single dollar of a hometown discount for us.

All of the above?
Good call. We'll have a shot at a comp pick for once.
Glad it is settled and the Giants can move forward.
Why good riddance? He wasn't any sort of gaping liability or cancer.
Slade is right on the ball!!!

The #Colts agreed to terms with DT Jonathan Hankins on a 3-year deal worth up to $30M, source said. $10.5M the first year. $15.9M guaranteed
This is not a good draft for DT's
We'll draft a run stuffing DT on day three at the least. DeAngelo Brown from Louisville would be a nice pick. No need to panic, especially since Thomas looked good in his limited snaps.
No, it's not that great a DT draft. But wouldn't mind if Caleb Brantley were there at 55.

Marks was released too.
