The Giants defense can’t make critical plays. The guys who are paid to step up in game changing situations (Vernon) can’t. The defense has no playmakers... any of these clowns can be replaced.
The real question is who do you not bring back. I’m getting rid of OV without any hesitation. Yeah, I’m keeping the Jackrabbit because he’s fine if there’s a pass rush. I’m franchising Collins because, why fucking not? We really need a playmaker from the draft because right now we have a lot of JAGs and a few decent players but no one who can really turn a game around.
His production is not commensurate with his contract. But releasing him creates another hole to fill on a team that has more holes than can be patched. He has no roster bonus that forces our decision on him in the short term. I hold on to him and approach him to restructure. He can keep all the money that is coming to him, but he has to earn it. I would attach a $100K game day RB. If he plays all 16 games, then he makes $1.6M. Attach incentives based on his sack production. 8 sacks - $500K; 12 sacks - $1M; 15 sacks - $1.5M and so on. Fumbles, interceptions, etc. tack in on. But the restructure would lower his salary to $10M. If he wants his $15M, then earn it.
If he doesn't agree to a restructure, then we try and trade him. 3rd rounder? If we can't get a pick, then just eat the $8M in dead money and wish him well.
Your sarcasm detector is malfunctioning
Add Jackrabbit, Haley, Goodson, McIntosh and Mauro.

Hill, Tomlinson, Carter, Davis, Ogletree, maybe Collins if reasonable.

Ask again at draft time.

He has to accept a salary cut to stick and accept incentives to make some of his salary.
He is not making anywhere close to what he is making now elsewhere in the league.
i'm onboard with this, if you take away his 3 interceptions he had just about as bad a year as a LB can have. He cant tackle and he cant cover
