Deone Bucannon- chose TB over NYG for fan base, coaches, loves Arians and the area was the right place for him. Thanks the Giants for giving him a call.
TB were the first to call him and his agent and he was very appreciative of that.
I was down there for the last two Giants games and the stadium was more than half blue. Guess that rabid fan base only shows up with they are playing teams within their division.
"When they say it's not about the money it's about the money" Â
Exactly, that stadium half filled with fans from their opponent. What fans? I can buy Arians as a reason to go. And I can buy the better tax situation in Florida too.
Peppers in that role at least part of the time with Thomas and Bethea also on the field.
Call it a "big Nickel" if you prefer, but probably makes a lot of sense against a team like the Eagles with a receiving first TE like Ertz. If they're in 21 or 12 personnel, Giants can counter with the big nickel and Peppers should be much better than Collins in coverage on Ertz.
this type of player in the draft? Fine. You could find any type of player in the draft.
He wasn't expensive and he can do a lot of things. Plus hes very young. This is the type of player a team like the Giants should over pay for have been all over. They lost to a 1 year deal to TB? Thats weak.
He's worth much more than 2.5/year for a team like the Giants with little talent in front 7(especially athletic LBs). He fits a need. Great fit for the scheme. And hes 26.
NO way in hell would I got to a hight tax state like NJ/NY
Let's say
NY offers 3y 30m
TB offers 3y 25m
Even though the contract is less you will still end up with more money. And that's just income tax... now add the houses cost more and property tax is highter.
It's nearly a no brainer...how we ever get a FA is beyond me.
The strippers.

He said "the area was right for him" :=)
He only signed a 1 year deal with TB. Giants should have offered him more. Should have used that Tate money for this type of player.

I don't think so. He seemed to want to be with the coaches there and we can't overpay to get a guy at a position we can fill in the DRAFT.

They REALLY blew it.
They REALLY blew it.
Seems the entire NFL thinks less of Bucannon than you do.
They REALLY blew it.
How do you know they didnt offer more? I mean he clearly states the Giants were one of the first teams to contact him...

in the play-off game in 2007 there were 2 fist fights between giant fans and one Tampa v Giant fan.
A Bucs fan did give my mother the double bird though.
