Brandon Marshall had agreed to take a pay cut for 2018, per source.

#Giants chose to release him today.
It's about time

what took them so long?
I wanted Alshon over Marshall.  
Boy Cord : 4/19/2018 3:08 pm : link
But then again, I wanted Pryor over Marshall as well. Without Alshon, Eagles don't win the Super Bowl. Still not completely over their win. Fk'n Matt Ryan and Falcons.

They were hoping he'd pass a physical first so they wouldn't need to pay out an injury settlement.

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.


According to Bryant, he seems to think there were players in the locker room who helped convince Jones to release him - so he may not be as well liked among his peers as you'd think.

I think this $5m is going right into Beckhams pocket anyway. They need all the money they can get to have him squared away financially.
Failed physical  
JonC : 4/19/2018 3:22 pm : link
and too many alligator armed business decisions on film from 2017.

You're gonna get hit in the NFL.
In fairness to Marshall  
Ten Ton Hammer : 4/19/2018 3:25 pm : link
He has always dropped a LOT of passes. I doubt he was looking to avoid getting hit. He's always had a reputation for being a physical player. Half the reason they signed him was his rock solid run blocking.

He was looking to not get hit quite often, it was plain as day. Not even debatable.
His injury settlement is 1.15 M

Which is voided if he signs with another team
Marshall clearly was mailing

it in and you can see where some Jets players may have had an issue with him the year before.

There's ",room for you(Dez), bro' now. Maybe.
Won't happen, but just a throwback at Marshall.

Unless both will play at vet minimum, plus a box of cookies.
Well, as a matter of fact,  
Doomster : 4/19/2018 3:34 pm : link
Big hole in the WR corps.
Brown Recluse : 2:24 pm : link : reply
Who's next in line? Cody Latimer?


we had a hole at WR WITH Marshall on the team.....

I can see, in certain situations, where we could split EE wide, but not use him as a starter at WR......Ellison is nothing special as a TE.....I want EE taking advantage of those linebackers....

As for WR, we have to get lucky with a late round pick, or maybe someone gets cut that we can use....once again, no depth at WR.....an injury to OBJ, EE, or SS and this team is in trouble again...

But this is the team that Reese created......In 2016, no major injuries, and this team could function.....it was lucky that year.....we have too many holes as far as starters go, and nothing to back them up...DG inherited this, and will have to act accordingly....and it's not going to happen in one season....
They will now be guaranteed more wins next season

Every time Marshall leaves a team, that team's record improves the following season.
Dez with the Giants.

If that takes place, I'm going to be holding my nose while cheering this year.

nochance : 4/19/2018 3:46 pm : link
maybe the Giants have a multable pick trade down already done
enabling them to include a high round receiver (Sutton?).This or maybe an agreement with Dez. I can't see them going to camp
with Roger Lewis as their 2nd receiver
yawn.

person who feels bad for Marshall? Took less money to come here, gets hurt, agrees to a paycut, gets cut.
Giants are fine at Wide Receiver if Odell shows up...  
the mike : 4/19/2018 4:18 pm : link
Base offense will be: Beckham, Shepard, Engram and Ellison. Lewis and Latimer are primary backups. Would be nice to get a wide receiver for depth in the fourth or fifth round.

If Odell decides to hold out, then we have a major problem. This would be the only reason to consider Dez as insurance. But lets please hope that Odell and Giants agree to something to preclude this from happening...

is a disaster
New GM, new coach, new base defense, there is bound to be a certain amount of roster chaos. Let's see how it looks after the draft, but even if the draft is a home run I wouldn't expect the roster to look very good this season. Too many holes to fill, too many guys who have to be shipped out, apparently.

I don't feel bad for someone with that kind of athletic talent who has had a ten year career in the NFL with over 12 thousand receiving yards, including multiple seasons with 100+ catches. If he still has anything in the tank then he'll get picked up by someone else.
how about kelvin Benjimin being included

I do, actually.

He clearly thought he was going to continue playing here this season and wanted to.

But I understand why they cut bait. What he put on tape last year was pretty bad.

I was a huge proponent of signing him. Sucks it didn't work out. But as they say... it is what it is.

He created zero good will or benefit of the doubt with his play last season. It's not like he was a bad guy or a "locker room cancer". That's life in the Not For Long League.

Yeah, they need a #2 wr but we have a TE who is probably going to catch 80 or more passes, so it is probably not as big a need as many think.

Sounds like you may have some issues of your own.

Comparing BPD to people murdering significant others or mothers suffocating their own children is really, really warped and off-base.

Really just a fucking terrible post.

Many bipolar have PDs as well.

Brandon has been open about it, trust i feel for him. Paid my dues on this issue like a mother fucker.

But if Jerry Reese thought it wouldn't effect Brandon's ability to be good teammate, then he was smoking more ass crack than we thought.

And based on your comment above, you sorely lack understanding on the subject. It's an awful comparison and very much off-base.
