this has been real exciting so far hasn't it?!

In all honesty though, i am glad we aren't overpaying for players...this is what we did before and it killed us.

I would look at him. I think there's a value in bringing in older vets on cheaper deals to buy yourself time to draft and develop talent behind them.

This team is not ready for Prime time yet.....there are no great expectations....

If we can get set on the OL, and avoid injuries, this offense will score some points....

We need either a functional RT from free agency(I do not want to be spending big bucks here) or one from the draft.....we need an upgrade over Halapio....why in the world we gave 9M to Pulley, is a head scratcher....

This team is not a contender for a title, but it could be, at least, enjoyable to watch......our defense sucked last year, and yet we lost 8 of 11 by 7 points or less.....Score points, make the other team one dimensional, and make life easier for our defense....maybe even play some meaningful December games....


Come on Doomster. They are giving Pulkey 9 million
I read the guarantee was like 2 million. He will get 9 million only if he performs
The only thing in these contracts that mean anything is the guaranteed money
DG is notthe only

GM not valuing S's as about 15 starting S's were released right before FA. The game it be changing.
At this point, the wish list as follows:  
LarmerTJR : 3/12/2019 1:29 pm : link
Remmers RT
Nick Perry LB
Golden LB
Boston S
Buchaneon LB

A combo of these should’ve be super expensive, fills holes, and saves the comp pick.

Told the Giants’ interest was mild. Gettleman just not willing to pay for safeties. Keep thinking Giants end up with a cheap vet like Kurt Coleman

So we've gone from a GM who didn't value OL and LBs to one who doesn't value DBs.



I wouldn't say he doesn't value DBs as Jenkins is still here.

Other than Amos, I'm glad he's avoided the other safeties as the only ones I'd even consider giving >$12M per year to are Harrison Smith and Eric Berry and neither are available. Maybe Thomas if he was a few years younger and not coming off a major injury.


DG's stated philosophy is run the ball, stop the run, rush the passer. Of course he doesn't value DBs that highly.

JPP figures to be gone in TB with his contract and potentially poor fit in the new scheme. A team like the Colts, Bills, 49ers, Panthers should be trying to get him for a trade back on Day 3.


As a JPP fan, despite his big cap hit they really like him in Tampa Bay. He had a strong all-around year. Besides the 12.5 sacks he had 20 QB knockdowns and 16 tackles for losses.

The outlook of this defense would be a little darker without his presence. This, and the fact he outplayed his positional pay ranking in every significant statistical category, make JPP an easy call as a bargain for the 2018 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

By the end, he was clearly a leader on the field and in the locker room.


Maybe the change in scenery was good for him.

Could/Should we try to pry away Eric Berry from them for a mid round pick? And get a All Pro player if/when healthy??

Berry has to come with a big cap hit but that cant be hardly as bad as Landon's number can it...?

defense are Hill, Carter and Beal. Add Houston and a decent Safety plus draft picks and we can be ok. Get RT Williams and the offense is set to score tons of points.


What has Beal shown us to call him a NYG defensive building block..?

Hill, ok maybe. Carter? I'm optimistic about him but he hasn't shown that he is irreplaceable going forward after just one year.. I would argue that we have Zero building blocks on defense and need to get one at 6 so we can build around that player... hard to call three 3rd round picks builidng blocks, after one year in which none of them really dominated.. not that that what was expected of them or of any player taken after the top half of round 1...

Hill was pretty good last year. Carter was solid when he was able to see the field... thought we would see more of him early with OV hurt but we didnt really, but we saw a glimpse or a flash here and there... Beal had what? One practice? Let's not get ahead of ourselves by calling Beal or even Carter a building block. If you want to sip the BJ Hill kool-aid, fine, pour me a cup too. But the fact is, this defense as it currently stands, doesnt have ANY proven playmakers outside of a decling Jack Rabbit.

Devin White. Josh Allen. Nick Bosa. Quinnen Williams. Greedy Williams. Those are what I would call building blocks. And we should probably take one at 6.

I disagree.. Eric berry has played in like 5 of KC's last 30 games or something like that.. they brought in Mathieu so they dont have to keep counting on Berry. They are similar players, versatile yes, but similar and both better suited at strong safety.

The Honeybadger is a FS not a SS. Plus cutting Berry would save them only 1.5 against the cap. They love Berry... he isn't going anywhere.

90.Cal : 3/12/2019 2:51 pm : link
Berry is now a luxury and not a necessity. They can't plan on making Mathieu (hasn't missed a game in 17' or 18') a tandem with a guy that has played in just 3 games in 2017 and 2018! Mathieu is now 'the guy' over there. They can put a Curtis Riley back there with him (JK, hopefully they can do better than that)... I bet if his cap hit wasnt so horrible this year they would cut him to free up cap next year... I'm sure they would listen to offers as no one in the league is untouchable from the right offer and I doubt he would cost something crazy is all...

We all know it's the Browns. What I don't get though is if they've called multiple times, do they really expect Gettleman is going to lessen his demands? The only way this happens is if they agree to his demands.
