John Sullivan: any takers?

Blue Racer : 1/15/2018 1:11 pm
This is interesting. We have Richburg entering his FA year at the same time as a tested and battle proven John Sullivan.

This is intriguing. Sullivan is 32 years old, but performed very well for the Rams this season. (And we already know what we're getting from Richburg.) Jones did okay, but maybe bringing in Sullivan might be a solid idea at this point, rather than taking a center in the draft.

Oh, and he's a local guy: Greenwich High. He might be excited about coming home.

What do you guys think?
I went to High School with Sullivan

would love to see him finish out his career as a Giant. I remember pushing for him in the draft and being told by the “experts” he was to small and had slow feet. Experts were pretty wrong.
Sure

why wouldn't rams re sign him though?
Me, too.

I'm also a Greenwich High alum. Would be great to see him in Blue. Aside from that he'd provide solid leadership, especially if they let Pugh walk.
I mentioned this in another thread.

He was one heck of a Center before he got hit with injuries. Released by the Vikings and signed by the Redskins. Didn't play much and then had a good season last year with the Rams.

This is the kind of signing the Giants need to be looking at. Older vet on a short deal to man the spot while they funnel in young talent through the draft.

They might. But he's also older and they might move on.
Possible

Jones wasn’t bad. But nothing wrong with bringing in a veteran. Unless they draft Billy Price in round 2.

1. Have zero desire to see him play another snap. He was AWFUL at the point of attack and got no push off the LOS. Said that during pre-season

2. I have a hard time imagining Richberg continuing his career if he needed to be IRed for a concussion when he was hurt in week 5. Life is too short. If you need to miss 12 weeks for a concussion, no more football.

Richburg and Pugh had to work hard to get to 300 lbs. I think the guys in the middle will be 320 plus in the Gettleman era. Jones will be depth not a starter.
Read the article that jlukes posted. Sullivan is headed downhill fast.

He was hurt during his final year with the vikes, leading to his release. He’s healthy again and had a nice rebound year in LA.
The line needs a lot of help

I know I keep saying it but this team desperately needs to hire either Russ Grimm or Tony Sparano as OL coach.

Might be our best OL at year end. If he can play guard or tackle OK.

Speaks very highly of Sullivan. Very good guy to bring in and would be a solid addition to the offensive line.
