stop gap. Hopefully didn't overpay.

It's a start.
Dude is a 100 years old!

Better be low money.

Nice

Hope the numbers come back decent. He was cut so he doesn't count against the comp thing.
Did we coax both Bethea and Reggie Wayne

And many others around the league talk very very highly of him. Don't mind the signing at all.

They're probably sharing the same room in the nursing home.

Snore? Jon, come on. He's not that bad.

He had over 100 tackles and 3 sacks last year. 5 picks the year before.

This is a fine stop gap.
Bethea  
Amtoft : 3/12/2019 3:20 pm : link
121 tackles last year... He aint finished.
I saw DG hopping in the dumpster behind the strip mall across the road  
The_Boss : 3/12/2019 3:21 pm : link
Now I know why.
I'm fine with the stop gap.  
Dave in Hoboken : 3/12/2019 3:21 pm : link
At least Gettleman realizes to not 'go for it' in 2019, and it's really about 2020 and beyond. I'm good with it. Glad DG realizes it's not about 2019.

Pretty much what I've been saying all day.
There's a chance his play doesn't level off sharply  
jcn56 : 3/12/2019 3:21 pm : link
but he's 34 years old. The odds aren't in his favor.
Ok with it - he was good 2 years ago and still had 120 tkls last year  
Eric on Li : 3/12/2019 3:22 pm : link
100 solo - which is a big number regardless of age. Had 5 interceptions his 1 year with Bettcher in AZ so this would seemingly be a solid move in a deon grant-esque mentoring role to whoever they draft.
Safety with #6  
SHO'NUFF : 3/12/2019 3:22 pm : link
DG signed Bethea to be a mentor and locker room guy. Stewart 2.0.
was  
Steve in Greenwich : 3/12/2019 3:23 pm : link
cut, so filled a roster spot without effecting comp formula. I guess thats a good thing. More and more feeling like this years free agency / team is just building to next year much like last year. Plug holes for time being, build through draft, and wouldn't in the least bit be suprised come trade deadline we see more of the Jenkins for a pick & Shepard for a pick type deal. Try and get as many picks going into next years draft so that hopefully come 2020 offseason a core of younger players have developed, a multitude of picks from Collins comp and vet trades and potentially 80+ mil in cap space. If they suprise and win a few games and their pick doesn't coincide with the top of the draft then their ultimate trade bait to get back to the top of the draft comes out with Odell.
Didn't realize he's still playing

Did not mean it negatively - he may do very well for them. Been around a long time and played some quality years.

These signings are necessary. You need to fill out a roster but don't want a negative longterm impact.

64.6 grade, comparatively Collins 70.4
Replaced one 3x pro bowler  
Damon : 3/12/2019 3:25 pm : link
With another...
Versital player. Both S spots. Had 5 picks under Bettcher in 17... 121 tackles last year. Good mentor... good for depth. Solid pick up.
I honestly had no idea he was still an active player.

Well Done
at this point, i'm convinced DG is going all in on offense  
SHO'NUFF : 3/12/2019 3:28 pm : link
and i'm okay with it. I'm okay with winning/losing games on the 37-31 range.
DG: "Hey Giants fans!! ARE YOU READY???

Their 2017 grades were also both close, though obviously the fear of a dropoff with a 34 year old is far more significant.

Bethea - 86.7 (his 1 year with Bettcher)
Collins - 88.5

good discount signing assuming it's a few mil.
Holy Shit  
figgy2989 : 3/12/2019 3:28 pm : link
Something Go Terps and I agree on.
He is only 35

I think the money will determine whether they're paying as a full-  
Anakim : 3/12/2019 3:28 pm : link
timer or as a third safety, ala Deon Grant
Bethea  
Professor Falken : 3/12/2019 3:29 pm : link
mic'd up. Hugs Bettcher at the :22 mark.
Bethea - ( New Window )
good move  
GiantsFan84 : 3/12/2019 3:30 pm : link
first the comp pick thing is important. all the good teams factor it in

second, if they are going to go young at safety, it makes sense to have a veteran back there and show these kids the ropes. a veteran who still can play a little too. this isn't jonathan stewart

i have to imagine the money is small.

if so this is a good move.
I like how some people call him "Buh-They" and other people  
Anakim : 3/12/2019 3:31 pm : link
call him "BUh-They-Uh"
Not bad for a dumpster dive  
Heisenberg : 3/12/2019 3:31 pm : link
Not too fucking inspiring either.
Hopefully he has a similar impact  
Snacks : 3/12/2019 3:31 pm : link
to when we signed Deon Grant for a couple of years.
