Hey guys. New to the board and happy to be here. I scanned the list of remaking free agents and have a few out of the box thoughts. It’s not meant to be controversial. Pure Xs and Os.
Two thoughts:
1.) Sheldon Richardson. My wife, despite my adoration of her, comes from a long time Jet family and holidays have been painful given the fan base bitterness but Sheldon Richardson is a beast and might come cheap given his departure from Seattle and NYj. The possibilities of him lining up with the guys we have, if the $$ is right, could be tremendous. Depth on the line is critical in our division.
2.) Colin Kapernick. We don’t know squat about Davis Webb and on Amy given Sunday Eli could turn old and useless. If they go Barkley with #2 I really think that could add some incredible options for Coach Pat
Kaepernick is better than a lot of backup QBs but it's not just whether he's "better," it's whether he's a fit.
Just keep Eli and draft the QB you like best:
Rosen - and he'd start nearly immediately
Darnold or Allen - who would probably sit for a year
I'd say hard pass on both regardless of price.
Mainly, due to, I still don't see how those positions generally fit into the draft pool this year and a need argument could be made. Even now as we have started to adress the line .
why add to it.. Kap was nothing but OK when things
were working.
Richardson, if we signed him, would have then played
with 3 teams in about a year.
My Kap suggestion is more about the fact that I don’t think DG likes these QBs and May go with Manning/Webb and I think Kap is a good insurance policy in the vent man I FiS awful(possible) and Webb is not a starter(probable)
How does trading Beckham help you rebuild quicker?
So by your logic the Giants will be better by trading away the most talented player on the roster for draft picks that won't be anywhere near as talented as Beckham?

I think it’s almost a lost year with Manning at the helm and we are essentially rebuilding on the fly. But, we lost a lost of games last year. I don’t think the team as is gets us back to playoffs. Embrace that! Saints traded cooks and a 4 for a 1 and a 7. Giants would get a lot more for Beckham. In 2-3 years when we are legit contenders again I’d rather have 2-3 Potential starters rather then a hobbled Beckham

Yes, that’s 100% correct. A talent (and headache) like Beckham on a non Contender is useless. Use the value of his worth to build a monster. We all know how these diva WR stories end up and they are never good.
And I wouldn’t do it.

You do realize Beckham is only 25 years old right? You act as if he only has two good years left. He should be apart of this team moving forward as trading your 25 yar old best player is a terrible way to build your roster.
Teams don't go and trade one of the best players in the league, makes very little sense
And, he is a generational talent. When he is healthy, he is one of the top 3 WR's in the league and demands double teams.
Why some fans want to trade a player who, with health, is heading to the hall of fame and is all of 25, is beyond me.
What off the field issues?
Immaturity? Why because he dances?
How did Eli do in his first playoff game?
How many games did they win that year because of beckham?
But I don’t want to give him $100 million either
Some people think oh he’s done so much for the team
I don’t buy it super talented player but a me first millennial all the way
Baker Mayfield same way me first guy wants to be rookie of the year
Why wouldn’t you rather do the TEAM thing and win the SB
Please Giants draft Rosen and don’t even think about the guard

Would a me first player be the first guy to welcome players to the giants?
Would a me first guy when nfl network wants to interview him say I want my other receivers there to?
How many meetings or practices has this me first player missed?
Ok fair enough I can see how that can rub people the wrong way...
But really how many 15 yard penalties has he taken 4 in his career? 5 maybe?
