Makes a lot of sense from Hogan’s perspective. His wife is a doctor on Long Island.
Seriously ????

....not at all impressed
Would prefer Crabtree  
Mike in NY : 3/14/2019 10:04 am : link
Only because Hogan is likely to cancel out comp pick for Landon Collins
Why would NE trade him?

Who else do they have at WR besides Edelman?

We can draft someone like him in the middle rounds. Someone younger and who would cost a fraction of the price. Don't overpay these older mediocre players please

31, that is incorrect. He's 30 and will be 31 this coming October.

Hogan doesn't "stink" He is what he is though. 500 yards a year and 3-5 TDs.
They had him before and let him go. That's when the

Pats grabbed him. Always liked him.He made some great plays for the Pats. But, they always know when to let someone go.
Seriously?  
rnargi : 3/14/2019 10:09 am : link
This guy disappears for months at a time...he averages around 35 catches per YEAR over his career. He had more than 2 receptions only once over the last 9 games last season, and had zero in 4 of those. He's less than a JAG.

He's a free agent. Pats didn't resign him. He doesn't stink. At least he didn't for the Pats.Cheap money short term I'd take him.

Actually, he was with Buffalo for several years before he went to NE.

This is what the 2nd and 3rd wave of free agency looks like guys. Lower your expectations. I think he's a good target at WR. I'd much rather go for a reliable high floor guy like Hogan than an underachiever like a Perriman if we're going this route.

Maybe they are looking at bringing in a Golden Tate?
They jut re-signed Dorsett as well.

Draft a WR in the middle rounds. We can get a 35 reception/500 yard/3TD guy with one of our 4ths and he'll cost peanuts

is only one reason to bring in Hogan and that is the culture issue.

You can do both. And there are no guarantees that even a 1st round WR gives you that production his rookie year.

Golden Tate has not done dick in two years and is on the wrong side of 30. He freakin averaged over $200,000 a reception last year
Is he that much different than Shep?

When the Giants sign a FA or draft a player  
nyjuggernaut2 : 3/14/2019 10:20 am : link
I always try and compare them to the player they will be replacing. Right now Giants fan may have it in their mindset that Hogan would be OBJ's replacement. Of course, he's no where near OBJ level, and he's not a #1 WR, so he wouldn't be coming here to be that. He'd be coming here to be a #3-#4 WR, so he'd be replacing either Bennie Fowler or Cody Latimer.
He  
AcidTest : 3/14/2019 10:20 am : link
can play. As someone said, this is what you get in the second wave of FA when you have little money to spend. But I wouldn't sign him if it jeopardized our comp picks next year.

He has rings, he has played with a group of winners. If he costs a couple Mill for 2 years then this would be a decent pick up.
LOL

Another guy on the wrong side of 30. Jeesh.

Better question would be, is he an upgrade over Cody Latimer or Benny Fowler? If the answer is yes, than I wouldn't mind if the Giants sign him.

Something like 2 years, and about 5 mill is my guess.
He is what he is, okay, nothing special.
A good locker room guy as well.
What's sad is even if we could convince this guy to come in  
mikeinbloomfield : 3/14/2019 10:22 am : link
he becomes our #2 receiver. That is, if you think Shepard is #1, which may not be the case.

Unless you think Corey Coleman suddenly grows up.
Depends what it would cost (of course) but Hogan could help us  
MM_in_NYC : 3/14/2019 10:23 am : link
I spotted Hogan in Dolphins/Bills camp 5+ years ago and thought he'd be an NFL player for sure but he kept getting cut and not getting playing time. Then of course Bill B saw him and it's history.

Hogan is faster than people think, has better hands than people think, and runs better routes than people think. The one thing he's not is shifty. I also don't know much about his contribution in run blocking but I'd be surprised if he wasn't giving full effort.

He's an underrated player and would be a nice get.
I'd stop looking at #1 or #2  
AcesUp : 3/14/2019 10:24 am : link
The Giants are clearly going to use a committee approach at WR, certainly for next year and possibly longer. I imagine Engram will be a huge part of our passing game, he is the player that has benefitted the most from OBJs absence in the past.
Assuming they are paying him next to nothing  
Mike from Ohio : 3/14/2019 10:27 am : link
and expecting next to nothing, I don't care. But this is clearly just a lockerroom move to set the tone for what I woudld expect going forward is a very young receiving corps.

Having said that, the contract should be inconsequential, not the kind of deal they gave Stewart to play the same role but to get paid like he could contribute. Based on skill alone you can get this guy at 22 years old in the 5th round.
You guys need to realize  
JonC : 3/14/2019 10:27 am : link
2019 isn't about going after a title, they're not there yet. They're working on development of their young prospects, drafting more, and teaching them how to be professionals, on and off the field.

It's a process. It takes character and often some compromises, and here we are.

Agreed. And I expect that we'll draft a few WRs this year whether we bring in guys like this or not.
Another year of "teaching guys to be professionals"  
Ten Ton Hammer : 3/14/2019 10:30 am : link
. Did we not just complete a year of turning over 80% of the roster? These are all their handpicked guys.
