at any skill positions. Aiyuk would easily be WR1 on our team. It would be goiod to acquire Aiyuk and draft one of the receivers at 1. However, this may indicte giants might go Dallas Turner at 6.
I think he will be in the conversation, perhaps even on draft day. Problem is salary though.
Yeah I think this is the contingency plan if they take a QB early. In terms of salary, they have a ton of cap space in future years, so what I think they'd do is sign Ayiuk to an extension that minimizes his cap hit this year.
But how could the NYG afford under the cap the contract he is going to want to be happy. That aside, I recall that Shanahan had issues with Aiyuk’s professionalism early in his career and while that appears to have been resolved, if it was an issue, how will he respond after being given generational level wealth?
no idea what I’d trade for him, would depend on whether we draft a QB high or not.
I feel like a trade for Aiyuk means they got one or know one will be there at 6
I was just coming to post this same thing. If they are willing to trade for a vet WR I feel like they know they will be selecting a QB.
Between Aiyuk & a QB we probably won't have a pick in the first 3 rounds for 2024 & 2025, but if you come away with a franchise QB and #1 WR nobody will give a shit.

No DJ on the cap, + rookie qb contract = lots of cap space in 2026 and beyond
If they know this is going to happen, they can structure the deal around that. Very little cap hit this year, a bit higher next year, then larger chunks starting in 2026.
First if they got a QB this year. Aiyuk would be a number 1 on a lot of teams. I think he’s in the Evans/Lamb tier and just doesn’t get the touches
Say they got the trade done with NE for pick 6, 2025 1st and pick 70. Trade for aiyuk with pick 47 and a contingent pick on 2025 3rd that could become 2nd with reasonable escalators. It would likely become pick 47 and 2025 2nd for Aiyuk. What do you think? Reasonable? Possible? I don't see how we could get Maye without the 2025 1st.
Give up 6 and 70 for Aiyuk. But he wanted to stay with DJ.
Not sure it makes sense to trade for Aiyuk if we trade our #1. Players get traded for much less these days. If we get him for our 3rd that would be great, other than that trading away more picks and paying the high salary is not a good long term plan
But at this point who the hell knows. Joe Alt at 6, Aiyuk (in a deal where we give 47), and Rattler at 70. Yes, this draft season's been going on WAY too long... my head is spinning at this point, LOL.
This is why NYG haven't had mid 2nd round WR in for visits maybe?

That would be absolute GM malpractice to give up 6 for Aiyuk. That could be one of the worst trades of all time.
Hill was traded to Miami for five draft picks — 2022 first-, second-, and fourth-round picks as well as 2023 fourth- and sixth-round picks
47 and 2025 2nd would do the trick I think and that would leave pick 6, 2025 1st and pick 70 for QB tradeup.
I see little chance they'd be inquiring about this if they weren't confident on QB in round1, unless it's just simple inquiry. Talking to them about aiyuk sounds a bit more serious than a simple inquiry though.
I missed most of that threat, what was his take on Aiyuk?
Stay at 6 take either Nabers or Odunze and we get them for 5 years on a rookie deal.
Did he delete his handle? thought maybe i missed something and was going to look it up.

It also means that Jones is 100 percent done since the 49ers talked all that trash about his contract after the game last year.
Even if they draft Maye I doubt you seeing him throw passes until 2025.

Yup, that’s both exciting and scary, lol.
Ironically I mentioned if we passed on drafting a WR and went QB in round 1 that I could see the Giants looking into Aiyuk.

This appears to be the same account he posted about the Burns trade before anyone else had it. Eric can confirm
I would not discount this.

Pugh mentioned how the Giants should rework a bunch of contracts and trade for Aiyuk.

Yes, what I mean is, Is Justin Pugh Rickey? He might be connected with an agent or 2?

I think the Burns traded was posted by PrettyRickey213, but I could be wrong on that. I'm assuming Eric has confirmed it's the same person though.

If we're calling this a 6 QB draft, one will be there at 6.

I hope they know what they're doing wrt QB 4-6.

Pretty Rickey was the twitter account I believe, this has the same March 2024 sign up date

I can't imagine it costs less than a 1st or 2 2nd's. Probably the former
Add in Burns for 39.
Trade for Vet WR with 2nd round pick.
This is smart football moves if you ask me.

Then extend him with a massive contract and still be $30M under the cap next year
