"Summing up: The first step for the Giants will be dealing with Pugh and Richburg, Keeping both is going to be a challenge, especially if they both have strong contract years. They could use the franchise tag, but they also have to be wary of losing valuable rollover cash with Beckham and Collins on the horizon.
Once Pugh and Richburg are decided, things will be clearer. It would be stunning if the Giants can’t get at least one of them signed. If they had to choose, it’s 50-50 at this point. With Beckham and Collins, they have no choice, really, but to pay them what it takes. It’s going to be an interesting next few offseasons for the Giants."

There's no doubt Goodson, last year's fourth-round pick, will play a much bigger role on offense in 2017.
Pretty sure that's a typo.
Should say Defense.

I know, was kidding around
As far as OBJ and Collins, it's a no-brainer. You have to re-sign both of these guys. These type of Pro Bowl, All-Pro talents don't grow on trees and when you have them, you need to keep them.

Agreed.
I was hoping the Giants might draft a kid who could replace Pugh next year and they might have found him in UDFA Jessamen Dunker. He was up and down at the Senior Bowl, but mostly up. I figure he's worth developing. We'll see.
There is the 5th year option on 1st round draft picks, but keep in mind the 5th year is different for those selected in Top 10 versus the rest of the 1st round. At this point, we are all hoping Flowers demonstrates competence at LT. But the reality is unless he turns into Joe Thomas this next season, the Giants won't even consider the 5th year on Flowers. Currently, the 5th year for Top 10 OL is $13 mil guaranteed. The decision to pick up his 5th year must be made by next May. You can name certain players on the Giants and around the league that are worth $13 mil. Flowers isn't one of them.

It's not as if we're dealing with a couple of perennial All-Pros here.
Geez... if they want too much, let them walk.
Please.

Agreed and I don't see them giving huge contracts to both Pugh and Richburg.
If Dunker can be a true pro... bye bye Pughiladelphia.
Lol. my thoughts exactly.
The stance some of you are taking, that because the OL sucked neither is worth worrying about? In typical BBI style, that is very shortsighted.
Everything is black and white with some of you.
The biggest issue with Pugh is the health question. If he stays healthy, and Richburg plays solid they will likely both get a fair offer from the Giants.
Neither is irreplaceable, but Pugh is solid, and we may not have seen the best of Weston yet.
