He’s not OBJ, but we got a solid WR in Tate, good veteran player who racks up the catches. The Golden signing was also a plus, he played very well in Betcher’s system in Arizona, and a low risk one year deal if the knee causes problems.
Let’s hope late tonight or tomorrow we find out we have a new RT (Remmers).

Gettleman at least showed he had some semblance of a plan in relation particularly to letting Collins walk. If he wasn't going to be able to bring in talented players then there would have been no reason to not tag Collins. Letting him walk and not tagging him will still be second guessed but imagine if they were also $20m under the cap entering the season, churning guys off waivers again 10 at a time.
But with 12 draft picks, 2 in the top 17, that's the main event of this offseason - everything else is window dressing. That is the can't miss opportunity to get this rebuild on track. Last year the colts added Quentin Nelson (#6), Darius Leonard (#36), and Braden Smith (#37). The #17 pick last year was Derwin James. 2 picks later at #19 the Cowboys got Vander Esch.
Imagine our team if we added the players picked at those same slots last year with Nelson (6), James (17), and Leonard (36). All 3 of those guys were first team all pros last year, and 2 went to the same team. Add some great players with 4-5+ years of cheap control and things will look a lot better really quickly, even if we haven't found our next franchise QB yet.
I am not arguing but please explain how signing another slot receiver like Tate at 31 years of age making near $9m a year makes sense considering GMEN are in rebuild?
This day and age you should always be churning your roster. You should always be bringing in talent. The Giants never did that until last year. The patriots do it every year except their churn is a lot less players than half the squad the Giants churned last year.
You need to build a locker room, but you have to build it while also trying to compete.

We needed to pay 4 years $9m (with the understanding we're still not good) in order to do this? We couldn't sign someone for less? We signed 1 year Bethea-- why 4 year WR instead of 1 year guy? Or trade for a 1 year guy? Tate is not worth near $9m is he? COuldnt the extra few million tat was used on Tate been used on getting a young OT before they were all gone?
I hope Remmers signs by tomorrow. Also curious about what other defensive player might be added per jtgiants.
My hope is we keep both our 1st round picks, getting our QB and a defensive stud.
I agree with your thinking here. I don’t believe we have to pick up a qb at 6 especially if both Miller and Haskins are gone before we pick, which is what I expect. I’m thinking we could get the best defensive player available at 6 and a qb at 17. I don’t know how the Giants feel about Jones, Lock, Jackson, Grier. I think two of them might be there at 17.

2 Years is a long time in the NFL. Some players come looking for 1 year or 2 year deals. That's the business. Tate is a very good WR. Do you want him until he is 34 instead? He's here to stabilize the WR corps.
Tate is very much worth 9M a year which is such a small number to begin with in this day and age.
Our cap situation is tight this year, but we have huge cap space next year. Those few million aren't really much.
Who are these young OTs that are just floating out there?
So no, a few mediocre FA signing isn't making me feel better about anything.

It is. So is having an immediate impression and reaction to news when you hear it.
There is nothing wrong with having a grounded reaction. This place was over the top. The draft was decided instantly.
i think it's logical to claim "I'm not sure I like the return, but I need to let this play out before I decide whether it's a positive or a negative result."
the problem with your entire thought is that if you don;t post that you hate some move etc then people such as you -- or not you but others will call you a "Monday Morning QB" and ask why didn't you say something earlier?
ORRRRRRR is some cases you hope someone can change your mind. Give reasons why you think it's bad and others can provide a response. Your way is the worst of them all. "Let's wait and see." You realize one can have an opinion on a board like this and read others opinions too, right?
ANd we never have really had any other option since the history of sports is to ""wait and see," right?
***Further and MOST importantly-- you can still offer an opinion AND "wait and see" can;t you? IS that some taboo type of thing? No one can be sure. You're right about that. But to a certain degree if fans don't trust the moves of the team that need to preface everything "I'm not sure but . . .?"
This year's team WILL NOT win a SUper Bowl. DO I need to preface that with "I'm not sure . . .?"
I guess you either didn't read this
Or you failed to understand it. As for your advice that "my" way is "worst of all", thanks, but judging how you react to issues on this board are signs that you may lack some self awareness.

I think it mostly that your posts are full of crap. You want to pretend like you're the calming moderate poster and anyone that isnt as moderate as you is "over-the-top" or must reply to you in a "delicate"manner due to you're being thin-skinned.
You certainly aren't required to speak to me in a certain way, as you are your own person. I just think it's good to practice humility and respect as much as possible, although I fall short plenty of times. I do consider it a priority in my life.
If it's anything like last years, it could be awfully good.
The net-net here is more talent left than entered, and the cap position isn't much better. OBJ was a game changer, and in return we got a slot WR who is past his prime, who will be paid relatively well.
I think that opens the door to them trading Shepard, who I think is a better football player than anyone here gives him credit for. Too many on BBI have fallen prey to 'well, they were losing games with him' philosophy - which ironically that same crowd doesn't attribute to Eli Manning.
Instead, it gets thrust upon Sterling Shepard, Evan Engram, Landon Collins, OBJ - and before too long, they'll all be gone.
In their place, we have guys like Ogletree (who gets paid good money and cost a draft pick to be slightly better than mediocre), Golden Tate, Anthoine Bethea (who could play well for 2 more years, or could fall off a cliff - given he's at the age where that's generally already happened for defensive backs). Zeitler and Golden were good additions, and should easily make positive contributions. Wildcard here is Peppers - he had one good year and one not so great year. Let's see how he plays in Bettcher's system vs. Williams.
Could the draft return a bounty of young talent to repair the roster? Sure - and it could also yield a bunch of mediocre younger players who never amount to much. Right now, all optimism would have to be placed on the draft.
Wait til season..reality
Well we finally agree on something.

Actually we don't agree. Saying That I may be "full of crap" is coming from your perspective, or your point of view. Since you do not know me it is a possibility. However I know myself and I know what I'm about.
It's fine though. I certainly don't plan on changing because a stranger on message board told me my way is BS.
