Let's look at two scenarios. Scenario 1 is what would have happened if they hadn't given OBJ a long-term deal and franchised him for 2019. (Remember, the Giants didn't use their franchise tag this offseason.) Scenario 2 is what actually happened.
Scenario 1: $8.5 million paid to Beckham in cash, $8.5 million on the Giants' 2019 cap, $0 in dead money on the 2019 cap
Scenario 2: $21.5 million paid to Beckham in cash, $5.5 million on the Giants' 2019 cap, $16 million in dead money on the 2019 cap
wow...
We wouldnt have gotten everything we did if he was franchised.
"antics" were never that bad, but the Giants obviously disagreed. Many others have cited the specifics. Other teams knew the Giants were weary of Beckham, and that invariably reduced his price. It wasn't a fire sale, but he was traded at a significant discount.
We need to move forward now, and hope that Gettleman finds good players with the new draft picks. We also need to hope that Peppers is our long term safety.
I read the first three pages of this thread and most of the posts echo my sentiments as well.
I've been a die-hard Giants' fan for over 50 years and although I'm not going to lie to myself and claim that I'm done with this team, I am really pissed!!!
Fuck Mara for dictating this trade needed to be made.
Fuck DG for getting a shitty return.
And now that I think of it, fuck OBJ as well. If OBJ had acted more like a professional our over-reactive ownership wouldn't have felt they had to trade him.
I wonder if Mara will have the balls to step in front of a microphone and at least explain this to Giants fans. Doubtful!
At this point I fully expect that the next move this team will make is to extend Eli. Clueless John probably thinks that's what we want.
That the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
And knowin' what to keep
'Cause every hand's a winner
And every hand's a loser
And the best that you can hope for is to die
in your sleep
Wellington Mara was a fantastic owner. John Mara has barely been tested yet. He may very well turn out to be an awful NFL owner. Having a thin skin with OBJ doing s stupid Lil Wayne interview after excepting his money may very well be his downfall when we look back.

I never make picks out of need.
If they can get Rosen for a 3rd rounder this would be pretty promising.
I don't want any part of Haskins or Murray.

So Peppers is basically a 2 year/$3.3 million deal? Do the Giants get the 5th year option if they want it?
Don't think either. He's going to play ILB next to Ogletree in the "moneybacker" role.

Except Wellington Mara wasn't a fantastic owner.
Cleveland played him all over.
Were officially the worst team in football now .

Yes, the Giants get the fifth year option.

wish that 3rd was a better 3rd but overall I'm satisfied. This overhaul is one year (at least) too late but at least it's happening.

Thank You.
Not sure. Wasn't the Finnish or Swedish women's ski team thread the longest?

He can play both ... and that is what you need it todays league ... he can cover, he can blitz and tackle. Also can return punts.
