of everything they have been doing since the trade deadline. I would expect this means some trades are in the works. Free agency this year should be selective to fill holes with young guys looking to prove themselves, not veterans looking for a pay day.
1. Cut Eli, trade a 2nd+ to Seattle for Wilson.
2. Stand pat and take BPA at 6 and 17.
No to Rosen. Talk of his work ethic by many in the business scares the heck out of me.
rnargi!!
I dont think a 2nd does it for Wilson. Bradford garnered a 1st.
I like Wilson a lot but he doesnt make sense to me at this point. We would have to sign him to a 4-5 year deal and give up a 1st rounder. Early on he will win us a few more games than a rookie might but is 8-8 vs. 5-11 really worth it? Especially at $25M+ per year?
Russ has to be a total pipe dream - but, I would really love that.
Agree with this, which is why I hate these teaser threads. I will get my hopes up for this kind of move and then find out we pried Case Keenum away from the Redskins for a 3rd.
Could Shurmer like him as much as Dave Te? Maybe a deal with the Vikings that includes him plus other players/picks going back and forth?....just spit ballin'
Trading for Wilson while also trading away Beckham makes absolutely no sense. They have the worst receivers in the league, and in generally have the least talented roster in football. Trading for a 30 year old QB at this point would be beyond stupid.

Hah, yep. That's why I won't even let myself think about that.
Wilson is fantastic. He never misses games, he knows how to protect his body and I have quite a bit of faith that he will stay very productive for 5+ years. He's the ideal QB for what the league is right now.
Beckham trade yet. Obviously, they've known about this long enough to have even the most bland statement about 'moving forward' and all that crap ready.
One of the reasons I can think of for not issuing a statement is that they will have more to say than just the Beckham stuff. Sure would be nice.

Probably just because it isn't official until 4pm today.

That's why I said 2+. I know it would take more than a 2.

Oh got it. Oh well, not that its going to say anything worthwhile.

dear god, can you think beyond this moment? You think we stay with what we have now at WR?
Should be for 2020 and beyond. Please don’t trade picks for players. Please don’t over pay for FA. 2019 is a throw away year now. We might have close to $100 million in cap space next year and a top 3 pick. Don’t jeopardize that.
I'm wondering if it's Rosen, except the Giants plan is still rolling with Eli for one more year at some type of reduced salary?
Trading for Rosen and keeping Eli doesnt make a ton of sense. One of the attractive things about Rosen is that he's cost controlled for another 4 years. They'd essentially be burning one of those years. Not saying it can't happen but it doesn't seem to be the optimal way of doing it. Then again you can argue that spending a year with Eli might help mitigate some of the stuff we've heard about attitude/preparation etc. But also if you're that concerned why make the trade?
This is the most excited I've been about Giants football in too long to remember. That's really sad, it being a Wednesday in March the morning after trading away one of the most talented guys to ever don the uniform, but also kinda fun.
Matt in SGS has provided solid info in the past as well.
Jay, I've had my moments and heard a few whispers that I"ve posted, but I don't know anything going on this year. If I hear something, I'll say something. In the meantime, I'm deferring to jt and hitdog.
I want the fall and winter to be fun. That hasn't been the case for years. Days like we've had recently are the reason why watching this team has been awful for so long.

Hitdog hasn't suppied any info this week. I wonder if he has contacts still?
Yup it crashed for me too.
Granted the Wilson stuff is probably a pipe dream.
Exactly.
If they can get anything for him - I think they flip him.
Maybe to add another 1st round pick? Otherwise it doesn't make sense.

Lol. flashback to 2005 and 2006 with Plax and Lamar

There were rumors not that long ago about SEA potentially being willing to move him.
It's almost certainly not going to happen - I'm just dreaming on it because I'd love it.

Ha! Same here. I had something i recorded on TV, and had to switch over to the NFLN, because I though something happened and BBI went down!

One of the best track records here.
Agreed.. I think people will be surprised where things go today/this week. If you are ever in the Charleston, SC would love to meet up with ya.
dear god, can you think beyond this moment? You think we stay with what we have now at WR?
That would rule out a vet trade/Wilson.

Correct he said Eli’s here next year.

I think it does. Rosen was thrown to the wolves last year. He would benefit for sitting, at least part of the year, and learning.
Has Slade returned? Please tell me no.
