Base offense will be: Beckham, Shepard, Engram and Ellison. Lewis and Latimer are primary backups. Would be nice to get a wide receiver for depth in the fourth or fifth round.
If Odell decides to hold out, then we have a major problem. This would be the only reason to consider Dez as insurance. But lets please hope that Odell and Giants agree to something to preclude this from happening...
New GM, new coach, new base defense, there is bound to be a certain amount of roster chaos. Let's see how it looks after the draft, but even if the draft is a home run I wouldn't expect the roster to look very good this season. Too many holes to fill, too many guys who have to be shipped out, apparently.
person who feels bad for Marshall? Took less money to come here, gets hurt, agrees to a paycut, gets cut.
I don't feel bad for someone with that kind of athletic talent who has had a ten year career in the NFL with over 12 thousand receiving yards, including multiple seasons with 100+ catches. If he still has anything in the tank then he'll get picked up by someone else.

I do, actually.
He clearly thought he was going to continue playing here this season and wanted to.
But I understand why they cut bait. What he put on tape last year was pretty bad.
I was a huge proponent of signing him. Sucks it didn't work out. But as they say... it is what it is.
He created zero good will or benefit of the doubt with his play last season. It's not like he was a bad guy or a "locker room cancer". That's life in the Not For Long League.
but as mentioned he didnt seem into it anymore. As for BPD, having studied it closely inNYS mental health program (as have ppl close to me with many of its characteristics), that is one fucked up comment above.
that is unfortunate, Ill add something I learned in BPD class: For yrs psychiatrists have purposely misdiagnosed people with BPD as being bi-polar. The reason? BPD was not a diagnosis approved by insurance comps for medication and Bi Polar is.
The outside receiver across from OBJ isn't a dire need.
It's arguable that the best offensive formation for the Giants would be OBJ outside,Shepard in the slot, Ellison in tight, and Engram at the boundary receiver position opposite OBJ.
Still, you have guys that can compete at that spot, with the incumbent Roger Lewis obviously being the lead dog at the moment. I also still believe Latimer has a lot of upside and will offer a good competition.
Then one of my sleeper picks is Tre'Quan Smith in the draft. Available between the 3-5 rounds.
I'm hip to this. No thanks to Dez. If he wants to play the cowpies twice a year, let it be with the foreskins.
Barkley can absolutely line up as a receiver when we rotate Gallman in to get some carries.
This is another occurrence of a popular misconception . You see it mentioned a lot (foolishly) about Engram. Running backs and tight ends do not beat skilled corners in coverage . It doesn’t happen . If you can get a safety on them -sure . But Barclay and Engram are not beating 1 & 2 corners . They are simply not proficient enough in route running .
he needed two more strong seasons to have a realistic chance at that. Looking at him last year - no way he has two of those years left, not even close to one
I advocated getting Marshall before last season. I thought as a large target WR he would help in the red zone, take some pressure off Odell, and had matured over the years as a leader. You could tell from the Dallas game that he and Eli just didn't click. And he never had a chance to really get anything going after the Chargers game, which for all intents and purposes completely sunk the Giants team and lost Odell, Marshall, and Harris for the season.
He kind of reminded me in his brief stint similar to LaVar Arrington's stay with the Giants. He was a big name, he struggled, and got hurt and was released. Arrington actually showed some signs of coming out of his funk until he got hurt. Marshall never got the chance.
Sometimes things just don't work out, and that was the case with Marshall.
The hole was going to be there with or without him playing. He simply didn't get it done last year and there's no reason to believe that this year would somehow be better. I like Marshall, but ask yourself, at this moment what teams will try to sign him on? The Giants need to look at other #2 WR options.
Good line Fats!
.. rounding into shape!

No, you are not the only one.

Might as well just put yourself in a coma and forget about life or football for a while. Not worth even watching.
I hope he continues to turn his life around.
Yeah, they need a #2 wr but we have a TE who is probably going to catch 80 or more passes, so it is probably not as big a need as many think.
That's like Jody Arias (stabbed her X bf 47 times) or Casey Anthony (suffocated her own innocent 5 year old daughter) type stuff.
Trust me. My children's mother has a PD and it's a never ending nightmare.
G-bye.
No it sounds like he offered to take a pay cut but they weren’t interested. Surprising to me, obviously they have other plans.

WTF?
It's a theme and will free up the double E.

Sounds like you may have some issues of your own.
Really just a fucking terrible post.
Brandon has been open about it, trust i feel for him. Paid my dues on this issue like a mother fucker.
But if Jerry Reese thought it wouldn't effect Brandon's ability to be good teammate, then he was smoking more ass crack than we thought.
Your ex having BPD doesn't make you one, either.
And based on your comment above, you sorely lack understanding on the subject. It's an awful comparison and very much off-base.
Oh the irony

Wish him the best.
That drop by Marshall pissed me off more than any other play this year. ugh.

What the hell is wrong with you?
The guy was cut because he failed a physical and is likely done being a starting caliber WR. But now it’s a psyche debate? Good lord.
Sounds like he had zero perspective on just how lame he was with the Giants.

You expected to admit he's finished? Why would he do that?

Earlier this week, Brandon Marshall advised Dez Bryant that there's "no room" for the former Cowboys star in New York's crowded wide receivers room.

No, but that was a pretty brazen and unnecessary affirmation of his expectation that hed be brought back.
He kind of reminded me in his brief stint similar to LaVar Arrington's stay with the Giants. He was a big name, he struggled, and got hurt and was released. Arrington actually showed some signs of coming out of his funk until he got hurt. Marshall never got the chance.

I agree with you on this one... Lets show a little class folks.
I suggested 6'5" Florida State receiver Auden Tate in the 3rd round ...
