per gettleman failed physcial

$5 Million

"REALLY?" like he was shocked at the news

Why WOULDN'T you cut him?

Who's next in line? Cody Latimer?

I was really pulling for him. He is a great player and seems like a really good guy. Too bad it didn't work out here

Dave Gettleman confirms @ByKimberleyA report that Brandon Marshall has been released. Marshall failed his physical. #Giants

He just looked like toast last year.

.

.

Is because they are going to have to release him with injury settlement rather than waiting for him to be able to pass a physical...

Dave Gettleman confirms. Also doesn�t close the door on signing Dez Bryant.

Will Dez wear?

It is kind of weird there has been radio silence on dez, no visits no talks nothing

football.

Dez would be Marshall 2.0 minus the nice guy.

LOL... you have to be willing to at least try catching something.

Is that Bob�s analysis or Gettleman saying that?

Oy.. enough with the Dez Bryant shit.

Dez Bryant and Brandon Marshall running into each other outside Giants facility.

I would be so disgusted if Dez Bryant was on this team. The sight of him getting in Eli's face for not throwing him the ball would make me vomit.

Signing Dez Bryant after Gettleman literally just cleaned out the locker room would make absolutely no sense.

The outside receiver across from OBJ isn't a dire need.

It's arguable that the best offensive formation for the Giants would be OBJ outside,Shepard in the slot, Ellison in tight, and Engram at the boundary receiver position opposite OBJ.

Still, you have guys that can compete at that spot, with the incumbent Roger Lewis obviously being the lead dog at the moment. I also still believe Latimer has a lot of upside and will offer a good competition.

Then one of my sleeper picks is Tre'Quan Smith in the draft. Available between the 3-5 rounds.

would be a recipe for disaster.

The Giants now have 8 players 30 and older, not 9.

I'm surprised it took them this long to release him. Is there some financial significance (from a cap perspective) of him failing the physical?

I'm hoping the light has finally come on for Latimer. He doesn't need to be a stud with OBJ out there.

Yup.

We want Beckham to mature and be here long-term.

Putting Dez Bryant on his side would be the worst thing we could do. I don't want this guy anywhere near Odell.

is about Dez going to the Giants or not now?

not mind bringing in Tre Boston to pair along side Landon Collins

.

is a disaster

chose to take a paycut an play for minnimum and G-Men still released him. Per Kimberly Martin

Couldn't find a larger image?

Sounds like a move to bring in Dez to screw with the Cowgirls. But imagine Dez and Odell on the same team? Hope coach has some good Ibuprofen ready.

OBJ (broken leg) and SS, we have a huge collection of journeymen at WR. Would not be surprised to see a day three WR to at least add to the mix. The Giants used one of their 30 pre-draft visits on Owens from FIU.

one of the top 3 picks gotta be a WR now right?

For the Giants and their opponents.

This roster PatchoguePete : 2:52 pm : link : reply is a disaster

Our roster didn't get worse losing Marshall.

It's overall. We lack a number 2 receiver, a Right Tackle, decent guards, a defensive end, a slot corner, a kicker, a punter, a safety.

.

He is on a mission to crush Dallas and I think he is well liked by his team. I think the perception here is different because we hate Dallas, but he seems like a team player.

Eli loves the tall guys down by the goalline.
