Donald Penn still holding out

Koffman : 8/6/2017 11:14 pm
With reports of Flowers still having issues from camp, is it time to finally give up and sign a decent LT ?
You know he's under contract, right?

I think that you know that this isn't the way the Giants go about

their business. They'll give Flowers every possible chance to blossom.
They have not had a full contact

Practice yet.
Before we cut a 23 yr LT can we get through a pre season game at least.

No, he doesn't. Otherwise he wouldn't have started this thread. I hope....right?

I like what you did there yat
Actually from all reports including

Sy and gidie's he's looked pretty good so far...
Can't you...  
FatMan in Charlotte : 8/7/2017 8:04 am : link
only trade for a guy holding out? You can't just sign any player not at camp.
Yes, four days before the first preseason game...  
Klaatu : 8/7/2017 8:18 am : link
Is the perfect time to jettison Ereck Flowers and sign a decent LT. I'm sure Reese can find one at the Decent LT Store (and now he can shop online for one, too).

We offered..

Are you kidding me? There is a on-line store that sells Left Tackles and we never bothered to order one yet?

Reese asleep at switch yet again...

Yeah, you can get them at Costco, too, but you have to be a member.
In addition to all of the reasons stated  
UberAlias : 8/7/2017 8:32 am : link
There are also ramifications to the salary cap. And by this I'm not suggesting that a team can't manufacture space if they really want to, but whatever funds they'd have to commit are already allocated for something. They have some big contracts coming up.
Last year the team dished out some very large contracts to FA  
UberAlias : 8/7/2017 8:36 am : link
Those moved paid off and went a long way to fixing the defense but you can't simply buy yourself a talented roster. Oline fix is most likely is going to require talent to develop.

funny you say that, I just became a Costco member 3 weeks ago. As my contribution to team, I will use my card and go down there today. I needed 50lbs of beefa'rino anyway...
What!!  
FatMan in Charlotte : 8/7/2017 8:41 am : link

What Reports???

Show your work or you fail!!
FYI Penn is 34 & under contract at $6 million. If he were available  
Marty in Albany : 8/7/2017 9:33 am : link
And he is NOT available, he wants a multi-year $10 million salary with God only knows how much guaranteed.
Now that I think about it, Penn may be doing a Strahan.  
Marty in Albany : 8/7/2017 9:37 am : link
At 34 he may be to avoid training camp and figures that if he shows up healthy in after most of camp is over, they won't levy a big fine for missing practices. Who knows?

Jerry Reach asleep at the wheel once again.... Donald Penn is sitting out there waiting to be offered a new contract even though he's already signed to one and this fucking guy can't figure out how to do it.
Guys, pay attention - we're signing holdouts.

I'll take Aaron Donald please.
Who said Flowers is having
