It is wise to pump the brakes on the anticipation that Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is switching positions, from cornerback to free safety. That decision has not been made by the Giants and certainly not been mentioned to Rodgers-Cromartie, someone with knowledge of the situation told The Post.
Reports surfaced last week that Rodgers-Cromartie, the 31-year-old cornerback, was going to return for the fifth and final year of his contract at a new position. That was news to the Giants coaches and front office personnel who would know about such a move, if it was true or had already been decided. |
I think he was responding to questions prompted by the original report.
Kim Jones asked him about it and DRC said "all I need is a chance". Rapoport retweeted that as apparent confirmation but, if DRC is only responding to the idea, it's not, really.
We need to Re-sign Ross Cockrell and free up some cap space to fix the O Line. I truly expected DRC to be a cap cut.
A move to safety seemed odd right from the start to me.
Yeah, the Giants need fewer talented DBs.
Interesting that it was news to the Giants coaching staff.

Cockrell last year was playing for a contract.
Eli Apple was a big 'no show' last year.
Maybe we can't count on these guys.
I think I'd stay with Rogers-Cromartie and let him finish
out his contract.
DB's need some help.
But for me, QB comes first, OL next, & LB.
I would be ok with DRC going only if they truly believe Apple can be better.
2. ability to play 16 full games...he's no bargain if he is not on the field...
The flip side is what can you get for 6.5M these days?
There are enough shit-stained personalities we have to deal with, and I think DRC is a bright spot.
Nope. And he was one of the few guys on D that didn't quit last season.
