Asshat Alert - Latest on Edwards

Braylon truthfully speaking is easily worth ANY of our WRs. Further, Manningham has shown less on the NFL level than Hixon and smith.

Manningham may not be truly NFL ready to contribute for another year, if ever.

after the deal had been dead for a over a month.

neither will be starting this season. Both WILL play, but this is a no brainer in my opinion.

that seems like a steep price - I trust JR will hold out.

but he is by no means a dealbreaker. Get it done, Jerry.

He's a legitimate #1 and a potential superstar, he makes the Giants better instantly.

...is a deal that must be considered, but I simply don't want to part with MM.

I normally don't care about the $$ as it's not my job and I don't think that anyone here can determine what a guy is worth, but do you pay BE more than Osi, Tuck, any of our OLine?

I like BE, but I don't want his contract to be one of those things that come between players.

I also think that MM is a legit NFL WR.

Finally, SS is a #1.

pure and obvious truth is not allowed on this thread!!!

With bad hands, who wants $10 million a year despite having only one good season as a pro (by #1 receiver standards). P-A-S-S

I truly hope these Braylon rumors die out for good before long.

not wanting to part with Ware or Manningham and/or not wanting to take on a monstrous contract, but the dissing of Edwards is just absurd. I cannot believe he was called "average." Even ignoring his insane 2007 year, he absolutely shredded the Giants D in week 6. You saw what he can do first hand ... against a Super Bowl caliber defense (granted Ross played atrociously that game).

Tuck, Osi, Canty, Robbins, Webster, etc... etc...

for one good year

We are going to learn alot about what Reese thinks of his current crop of recievers.

If I were a betting man I would guess that Reese says no and goes to camp with what we got... but...

who knows?

He wouldn't have been drafted if he had bad hands. All receivers drop passes. Especially when your quarterback is average at best.

but pay him more than our top DEs, DT, and the same as our Elite CB?

mind boggling really.

your pop gun IQ and crass plebian behavior fits like a glove there.

judgement on this one. I think they've earned it. If they want to add Braylon to the other B's we picked up, I'll assume they made the right decision.

Personally, I guess I fall on the side of going with what we got, although I must admit that if they think they can fit him into our cap long-term having combinations of Braylon, Smith, Nicks, Barden, Moss, Tyree, Boss and Beckum to guard in the red/green zone with Jacobs or Bradshaw in the backfield should be enough to cause defensive coordinators to go absolutely nuts.

keep tryin, kid

how of many of you said that we were fine with what we had after the Plaxico incident?

Eric, can we have more details or at least an update?

you're doing a great job on your own

not superstars like Jeff Blake, Josh McCown, Shawn King, John Navarre and Matt Leinart.

Moss, Tyree, and the assorted bric-a-brac aren't worth anything in trade. No value there.

We're not trading either of our rookies before we've even seen them in camp. That kind of move just pisses of your scouts.

Smith is the only starter we have with anything close to a track record. Too valuable to part with.

Hixon has diminished trade value because of his expiring contract, particularly to a team looking at longer-term rebuilding like CLE has. His ST contributions also don't add to his value to the Browns, who already have the best returner in the league in Josh Cribbs. He's worth more to the win-now Giants, so we wouldn't get good value if we were to trade him.

That leaves Mario. No track record to suggest that he would help on '09, but enough potential based on his college years to entice a team with the long term in mind. And he's under contract through 2011. He's the only WR we've got whose value might be higher to a team like the Browns than it is to the Giants.

I can't remember?

No need to specify... The truth is, if Braylon comes here he'll want a contract that will make him the highest paid player on the team. Period. He wants to be a $10 million a year player. Take a look at the Giants '09 salaries. Nobody hits $10 million.

And I can say, without hesitation, that Eli Manning, Brandon Jacobs, the entire O-Line, the entire D-Line, and Corey Webster are all better at their jobs than Braylon Edwards is at his job.


But yea, fuck it, fuck building a team. Let's turn this into Madden, give Braylon the moon and rake in Super Bowl trophies. It's just that easy. He's always proven to be productive, focused, a team player and a winner.

They can have a conditional pick.. Ware and Moss... We gotta resign this guy to a bug contract. Manningham has a lot of upside.. I say no..

bois, Eli's over 10 but that's it. And that's how it should stay

for 10 mil/per? C'mon... No chance.

Cleveland has played their hand by drafting and signing receivers all over the play.. lowball them.. give a conditional pick and thats IT.. no players..

and he also has Michigan ties up there.

our offense would be great with Braylon

after one year, with loads of potential?

or ware who he snatched off a PS and saw something?

exactly

and I'd bet my savings Jerry feels the same

on here seem to think they know all the details.I trust JR. He know BE better than anyone on here and knows his own players better than anyone on here.And knows BE's worth. I trust he will not overpay.

yea let's not pay Edwards for one good year.
But let's make Canty our highest paid DLineman for no good years.
I would rather give Edwards money than Canty

'But let's make Canty our highest paid DLineman for no good years.'



BAHAHAAHAhAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAH

Somebody will give him more money than the Giants will, more money than the Giants should, more money than he deserves.

Again, I fail to understand the #1 receiver argument. Our team struggled last year without Plax, but Braylon isn't Plax. We'll be fine without some overpaid wideout.

what leverage does Cleveland have? They keep him this year and he disappears after it in free agency and they get nothing in return.

...you don't have any savings~

well..let's see how this plays out

The reason to value Manningham over Hixon is because Manningham has three years left on his deal and Hixon has only one year left. If Edwards were signed to a longterm deal there is no way that Hixon would be back in 2010.

I'd prefer it if it were Hixon and Ware; but I agree with those who say you can't say no to Manningham, Ware, and a conditional 3rd round pick if Edwards can be signed to a reasonable longterm deal.

I can understand them wanting a WR that has potential in return for a guy that has proven himself.

But as LTS said earlier, fuck paying him $10mil. If thats part of it I don't want him.

house money bitches

I'm riachhhh biatchhhhhhh

let em stew for a while..

However I will admit BE at #1 and Nicks #2 with some Smith and Hixon thrown is is very very very sexy....

...idiot?



Sorry, I was jus' following the script~

but if drafting Nicks, Barden, and Beckum isn't proof that Reese is concerned about the receiving game, I don't know what is.

This is all speculation, but the person who mentioned Ryan Grant made a good point - and in that situation the Giants got almost nothing in return. Yeah, it'd suck to lose Ware or Manningham but you're getting a proven player in return.

it would look awesome that line up.

I agree, i'd like it, but there's a limit to price

a pick.. Ware and Moss and Tyree.. take it or leave it...

...throw in some MM instead of Hixon and I like it too.

They would sooner offer Sinorice Moss + Danny Ware + a 5th. As a matter of fact I am almost positive that is what their counter will be, and probably remain. Else we go into the season with a plethora of hot shot young guns shooting to make the big time baby!
