Got multiple opinions that he is not at any further risk than another player with his condition
Giants need to make a run at this....

Ravens people have been in touch with Orr. They love him as a player/person, but seriously doubt their doctors would pass him on a physical.

"Orr didn't file retirement papers in January and the Ravens didn't place him on their reserve/retired list because no one expected him to play again. The period to extend tenders to restricted free agents has passed without the Ravens tendering Orr -- a move the Ravens didn't consider because they assumed he would stay retired.

An NFL spokesman confirmed the lack of a tender means Orr is an unrestricted free agent."

I hope we are one of the 8 teams

maybe a 2 year deal where all of the dead money is in year 1

but I feel our linebackers are pretty good.

Kennard finally has a year under his belt and I look for him to have a break out year of sorts.
Robinsion is fleet and very underrated player.
I think Goodson is going to be a physical force that moves this whole defense forward.
I even think there's decent depth on back of those three.
I also think the cap means setting priorities and the modern game dictates that limited resources have to be devoted to passs rushers and pass defenders.
And then I recall that we won superbowls with Jeff Torberg and Chase Blackburn. In front of Blackburn was Osi, JPP and Our Capt. Justin Tuck 'Nuff said.

Jeff Torborg was a baseball catcher and manager. Who is it you're thinking of?

I think he is thinking of Reggie Torbor
Isn't this kind of shitty on Orr's part?

If he thought there was even a remote chance of returning, this should have been communicated to the Ravens. He essentially screwed them.
We have reached out...

Word on the street is he would prefer to return to Baltimore... He's a good dude... Doesn't want the perception that he duped the team to linger. He should get a substantial raise as he was UDFA.

Everyone will be cautious with this. Every team he visits will put him through their own medical...No team wants to employ a guy who might be one wrong hit away from being a quad... Including Baltimore.

If he doesn't work out a deal with Baltimore before Thursday... He might come in next weekend after visiting Detroit.
So he should be a Giant by Wednesday
