The CAP is up and so are salaries. It’s all relative but some of you just don’t understand. Simple economics.
When I see Hitchens getting $9M and Kennard is not even 2/3 of the player that Hitchens is, Kennard is being overpaid unless the signing bonus is low such that it is really a 2 year deal if he doesn't perform as expected
What's Bradham getting? 12? That's why I wasn't concerned with the Ogletree trade. We traded a comp 4th pick for a slightly discounted team friendly contract.
picks next year. We are in for a relatively long rebuild, whether we plan on Webb being the QB of the future or someone at #2. Our roster sucks. At this point in the rebuild we don't need to spend big money on guys who won't be core players for us once we are ready to contend. Let all of those guys go, imo.
RE: You guys are so screwed up with not worth the money crap Â
He has been injured since his junior year in high school when he tore his ACL. He was constantly injured at USC and with us. Not a bad player but nothing special and he does lack speed.
but I think we will be getting a LB in the draft to take his spot. Also looking for more pass rushers at OLB which he can do just doesn't have a quick first step.
Salaries continue to outpace other economic indices while viewership is dropping significantly.
Unless they can turn the latter around soon, this is not a good situation for survival.
Kennard's role on this team probably would have diminished if the 3-4 is in the cards. You have JPP and OV that need to be on the field which meant Kennard would have become a rotational at best.
shell out anything close to that for him. The jury is sort of still out on Kennard. We can acquire much more value at the LB spot with the limited cap we have.

Not sure if JPP is going to fill in at the OLB spot. He is not great in space and not great at coverage either. Probably better suited for one of the DE spots.
Kennard was overrated here. He was properly rated. An oft injured LB with some decent talent that just really didn't work out, but made some plays for us now and again. Why would we want him back?
Belonged inside he was lacking everything to be outside but they just could not see it. He was just always late to make a play in the running, passing and blitz game almost like he had no real football instincts. The real kicker that they were desperate for a MLB his entire time here.
it's hard to remember even 5 plays he ever made....
The only one I can remember is him wrestling a ball away from a Buffalo TE as they fell to the ground together....
Way over rated as a pass rusher, and cover linebacker.....not worth the money he got.....
However, the way money is being thrown around out there, we have a lot of UFA's to replace, and we might be overpaying for just jags.....but Gettleman inherited this roster.....he has to shake it up, hopefully with upgrades over what we had....
Methinks a lot of BBI are going to be disappointed in the first year results, but this is going to be a MINIMUM 2 year rebuild, thinking optimistically.....just to be respectable again...too many teams have been circling Giant games on their calendars as wins.....for too long.....
Right now we have two LBers on the roster, Ogletree and Goodson, and Goodson has to show he can stay on the field...

You couldn't be more wrong. Literally the exact opposite of what you said is true. Kennard is a 3-4 OLB. He is a strong at the POC physical player that sets the edge and can rush the passer well. He struggles in space and in coverage.

LB Devon Kennard signing with Lions. Versatile OLB is the right fit in Matt Patricia's defense.
That sucks.
Hope its big $$ and we get a 4th comp pick.
$6m+/year for Kennard! That's a lot more than I thought he'd get.
Bradham?

NYG looking to get faster in the back seven.
Bradham?
Tahir Whitehead is another option. A notch below Bradham but more cap friendly.

Agreed.
breaking up a 2-14 team? I have no issues with it. Long overdue actually. Purge the majority of the roster.

I don't think they'll spend big on a SAM, especially when you see what Kennard just got from the Lions.
that doesn't mean you overpay to keep injury prone JAGs
I think a lot of Giants fans overrated this guy, he wasn't anything special.
Good for him for getting paid. Life changing money.
So comp picks for Richburg, Kennard, possibly Pugh.

But when we sign players they will start cancelling out
He was solid though.
But he's hurt too much for my liking.
another Reese milestone along with 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009. I didn't add 2015 yet, but it's going that way.
The last draft they had produce multiple useful players was 2008.
You look back and again have to wonder how in the fuck Reese survived after 2015.
At least 2014 had Beckham Jr.
You want bad? Try 2011 to 2013:
2013:
Justin Pugh
Johnathan Hankins
Damontre Moore
Ryan Nassib
Cooper Taylor
Eric Herman
Michael Cox
2012:
David Wilson
Rueben Randle
Jayron Hosley
Adrien Robinson
Brandon Mosley
Matt McCants
Markus Kuhn
2011:
Prince Amukamara
Marvin Austin
Jerrel Jernigan
James Brewer
Greg Jones
Tyler Sash
Jacquian Williams
Da'Rel Scott
Yup.
Will be interesting to see how he does in detroit.
By the second.
Unless they can turn the latter around soon, this is not a good situation for survival.
With Herzlich's signing, he was expendable.
Not sure if JPP is going to fill in at the OLB spot. He is not great in space and not great at coverage either. Probably better suited for one of the DE spots.
Yup.
Holsey's problems weren't athletic. He was plenty athletic.
What I see now is a bunch of excessive Contracts. Don't want to see us in cap hell with a rebuilding team.
TMS : 1:02 pm : link : reply
losing the FA period. Hope DG makes a comeback soon. MO
We're losing a period that hasn't officially started?
Jesus we really love some fucking doom and gloom.
Thought he'd be retained - but guess not.

You have shown you have zero football knowledge.
He should have been a 3-4 rush LB. They have a couple of these failed experiments. Clint Sintim.
I’d say he’s a little better than a JAG, but the injuries are definitely a concern. Not worth what DET is paying.
