Hearing All-Pro guard Andrew Norwell is down to three finalists: #49ers, #Colts and #NYGiants, per league source.
Very true, but who.
Got to wonder how much Solder is going to get.
I'd make a push for solder now.
Tom Coughlin overpaying the hog Molies.
As a side note, the professional sports leagues have a real competitive balance issue on their hands with the incongruity in state taxes, IMO.
I expect they will sign 1 or 2 lesser OL.

Not that I get a vote, but if I’m Gettleman I go hard after Solder and I trade back with Buffalo, draft McGlichney at 12, Billy price at #22, and use the extra picks I just got in the 2nd/3rd round to either move back into the late first and take the best remaining QB or RB.
The must get a QB crowd won’t like this, but I like Lauletta in the second and I’m not in love with any of the top Qbs at 2.
Still had my hopes to get a pro bowl guard.....
Fine.
Lets get the line fixed some other way

Some of you guys want an O-line so bad, you don't want any other players.

But when will he get a QB?
Did the same thing 1996 with Jags.

Don’t put me in that camp. I’m not OL or bust. Also, the picks you get from a trade still allow you plenty of opportunity to get other players.
With a day to go before FA, the Giants have no starting guards, a dreadful LT, and no RT on the roster. A 37 year old QB, not a ton of cap space, an all pro SS to pay, a locker room cancer CB, and an all world but troubled WR to deal with. Gettleman is going to have to pull off a minor miracle.
Silver lining
Oh, oh yeah...I remember now. Its having high hopes that come crashing down in disappointment. There was a term for that though... what was it... right on the tip of my tongue...
OH! Thats right.
Being a Giants fan.
Good lord you are insufferable. So you are only willing to sign the top available talent if it comes at a lower than market value price?
There was no scenario in which Norwell was going to sign a cap friendly deal, he was clearly the top available FA o-lineman and these guys have been getting paid more and more each year.
