I don't know why its one or the other with some of you. Its both. We are trying to get rid of players who aren't worth their contracts, or are hurt a lot, or have shitty attitudes. Why does that mean they aren't both trying to win now and build for the future?
Gave us some exciting plays during a few poor seasons. Took a bunch of big hits and often played hard through injuries. What more could you ask for. I wish him all the best.
He was a very solid special teamer. Remember a few games when he really stepped up as a WR too. Seems like a good guy, hopefully he has a great post playing career.
Why do people think Marshall will stick around? I thought he’d be a cap cut.
The guy was a gamer and besides his salary, not part of the underlying problem with the locker room recently.
He would have fit in well on the SB teams he missed out on by a few years.
Best of luck to him.
+1. Harris was tough, was always a fan of his. I never blame a player who is paid more than people think he's worth, especially when he's playing hard.
Agree - he was electric and had a great season for us.
RE: RE: RE: Marshall is the perfect compliment to OBJ and Shepherd Â
The key for me is Marshall a locker room + - or neutral? Given his talent, over the years, before he matured he must have been a -. Now if he's neutral you could keep him.
I will be surprised, if DG doesn't come to Marshall and ask him to take a pay cut. Marshall doesn't want to leave NY.
Plus DG has no ties to Marshall - not his signing.
The support for Marshall is mind boggling...dropped key passes....disappeared in games....no speed/separation.....never stepped up his game with the loss of OBj.....

I actually agree with you, but I bet Marshall could figure out how to use the quote/reply feature.

He played 4 games. And didn’t he and Odell get hurt in the same game?

Yes. Fredo is on a week-long losing streak of ineptitude.
both as a returner and, surprisingly, as a WR. Since then, he has been a well below average returner and has barely seen the field as a WR. The last 2 seasons he wasn't just bad on returns, his decisions when to field a punt, fair catch, etc. were horrible to the point he was worse than having a rookie back there.

I thought a second WR was absolutely a need. Shepard's a good player, but this year has again illustrated that there's zero guys who can play behind Beckham and Shepard, and that's not good enough. You have to be able to not fall apart like a house of cards if you lose one starter.

Vereen is a free agent.
The Giants dont really NEED him cap space right now.

*his
Yup, solid player. Kick return abilities marginalized with the rule changes, but still a pro bowl caliber gunner and had his moments as a WR too.
Overpaid and an obvious cut, but no gripes about his efforts with the Giants

Quote:
that would free up about 5 million in cap space...enough to almost sign the rookies. Which means maybe Marshall is staying
From what I understand teams have to keep rookie signing funds in a separate pot. Does anyone have the particulars on that?
I believe that's true.
I don't look at him as a "luxury" at all - he's really not that good.
These are the kind of guys I enjoy rooting for. Wish him well.
How anyone can come to that conclusion after watching Brandon Marshall last year is beyond me.
I don’t know about that I’d go with a younger player

No one can judge anything by McAdoo's shitty offensive scheme. But you can judge by seeing Marshall's entire playing career

Agree on the shitty scheme, but Marshall got zero separation last year before he got hurt.

You could have said overpaid and I would have agreed just the same.

Truth & truth
This was a head scratching signing from day one.

Harris was fine but nothing special. Good gunner and a mediocre return man

My thoughts as well. Did everything asked of him here and always showed up.
