Jenkins is owed ZERO guaranteed money after this season. We would owe him some bonus money, maybe $7 million dead money next year
DRC is gone for sure unless we keep him 1 more year as punishment.
Apple?? He will stay.. but if I had it my way id cut his sorry ass
At the very least I demote Apple to FS, since he can't turn around let him just keep eyes on the ball as a backup
Sooo, our biggest strength (CBs) has turned into how can we get rid of them all.
Nj.com article explaining the cap implications of cutting Jenkins - (
New Window )
While they're effort and performance have been bad this year, cutting these guys would mean a draft and/or FA $ spent with a high priority on CBs (meaning, we lose the opportunity to focus on the OL).
My bet is that Jenkins (post McAdoo) returns to an elite CB and that Apple develops to at least an average starting CB.
I think these players will get a clean slate next year, especially Jenkins. Apple is very young, which might be part of his problem. I don't think you cut somebody until you have somebody to take their place. With Free agency and the draft they could decide to add a couple of CB but the monetary investment in Jenkins leads me to believe he will have next year in blue. Apple is in his rookie contract and will probably hang on unless the Giants can trade him, which is possible. DRC might be outright cut. SO put CB as a need for next year.
Have to consider the cap hits of course, but If I never saw Jenkins, Apple or JPP in a Giants uniform again after yesterday’s absurdity I wouldn’t shed a tear.
Giants need to be careful of who they are getting rid of and not make emotional decisions like BBI is doing.
This coaching staff has lost this team and the secondary is playing to not get hurt and risk their careers tackling a TE for a 1-8 team with a lame duck front office.
Is it right? probably not but this is a different generation of football players.
Jenkins did this in St. Louis because he was sick of losing. DRC was this way at every stop.
It's sickening to think we have the toughest part of our schedule coming up with this level of effort.
KC might have the 2nd string in by halftime up by 40
why the hell Jenkins didn't just fake an injury or something if he did not wan to play .
Problem is that they stayed pat at the trading deadline this
team was going nowhere DRC should have been moved plenty
of teams would give us at least a 4th round pick for him
But we have no guidance under Reese .
Jenkins is still a heck of a player I don't excuse him for yesterday but he will want out we have no control over either one of them now Apple I don't seem ever getting any better .
I know its not ideal since they are suppose to be pros and all that jazz. However for some it take more then lots of money to do what they should do. Attitude is a reflection of leadership and I don't see much of a leader with Ben.
Jenkins came with warts from college, not rehashing that part.
Now he just looks like a front runner, meaning when things are going good...To me he was the MVP of the defense last year,
with all due respect to Collins, both have not shined this year at all!
I was kind of surprised that Jenkins wasn't benched after
halftime yesterday, with that first half display.
A new GM and coach is going to come is just like Coughlin did when he got here and clean house. All these quitters are going to have to answer, one way or the other it is going to effect them too. Great job Jerry Reese. Not hearing the old In Reese we trust anymore. A bad GM will get exposed in time, it is inevitable.
I expect that after a season like the next team is going to want to break it all down and do a complete rebuild. But maybe they'll look at those guys, find out what happened and say "We can give them another chance. We can fix this. We can fix them."
Or... not.
Wow, you're not very good at this are you?
They aren't dumping a first round pick. He will be here.
