Giants sign cb BW Webb

moaltch : 3/19/2018 1:36 pm
The #Giants are signing veteran CB BW Webb to a 1-year deal, @SunnyTheAgent says. He most recently was on the #Browns.
Webb and Riley  
JonC : 3/19/2018 1:39 pm : link
hopefully two young corners who are hungry and on the rise, figure to be cheap contracts to fill out the roster.
Webb!

Is it a sign?
slot corner?  
mphbullet36 : 3/19/2018 1:42 pm : link
we really could use some competition at slot corner...jenkins/apple are outside guys and cockrell who I hope we bring back is an outside guy as well.
Didn't play at all last year

Good  
Jay on the Island : 3/19/2018 1:44 pm : link
more competition for the 4th and 5th CB spots. I am intrigued by Teddy Williams. Deshea Towsend must've seen something in Teddy Williams and Curtis Riley.
He was a popular sleeper candidate

....in the draft but hasn’t done anything.
If things work out

..where we somehow land Minkah Fitz that would be sweet as far as DBs go
actually kind of shocked  
Giantsfan79 : 3/19/2018 1:59 pm : link
that Cockrell hasn't gotten any love in free agency. he played pretty well down the stretch last year.

Agreed.
It is all  
jvm52106 : 3/19/2018 2:03 pm : link
about training camp bodies with limited $$ to add..

I am still hoping for a trade down and more picks...

Agreed.


The longer he sits out there, the better for us.

I am too but this could be good for the Giants. The longer he sits on the market the cheaper he will be unless the reason he hasn't signed yet is that he is asking for a lot of money. I would love him back on a 3 year 10 million dollar deal.
6 teams in 5 years

Wouldn't get too excited about this.
Probably either a non-guaranteed contract or one with a small  
Ira : 3/19/2018 2:27 pm : link
amount guaranteed. We need a real corner back.

mikeygiants : 3/19/2018 2:45 pm : link
looks like a slide from the Key and Peele skits. He needs a cooler name. Benvicious Wallykamamka Webb

Wow! No wonder he was signed, he scored off the charts on the three athletic tests Gettleman favors the most (with a 40 inch vertical, 12 foot broad jump, and an amazing 3.84 in the short shuttle). That 3.84 short shuttle has gotta be close to a combine record.
Yes, 3.84 is close to top  
shyster : 3/19/2018 7:33 pm : link
3.81 (Brandin Cooks) is top time since 2006.

Some others:

OBJ: 3.93
Barkley: 4.24
Rosen: 4.28

Barkley's poor shuttle result, barely faster than Rosen, went largely unnoticed.
Add me to the group  
ChicagoMarty : 3/19/2018 10:29 pm : link
that wonders what is up with Cockrell.

I too would like to see him back
Not sure what this tells us about BW Webb, but consider this...  
GeofromNJ : 3/20/2018 1:45 am : link
He was on the Browns roster last year, a team that didn't win a single game the entire season, and he never saw the field the entire season. Hmm.

Well, obviously they would have gone undefeated if only he'd been a starter.
I think we better start praying a bit that DG can find  
Jimmy Googs : 3/20/2018 6:33 am : link
a CB or two in this draft.
