Mike Remmers just wrapped up a great visit with the New York Giants. Very good chance we could be getting something done with them in the not too distant future.

for a FA to come in for a visit,leave without a contract but still wind up signing with that team? Has that worked out for the Giants before?

It's happened several times. The biggest name that comes to mind is Plaxico Burress.

The Giants gave them a take it or leave it deal and they are going to shop it around a bit. What's the mystery? I'm sure there's a limit on a day or so before the window closes, but it makes sense.


This sounds likely. Or Remmers might be holding out for a gross of genuine signed #13 jerseys, rumor has it their value will one day skyrocket due to scarcity.

Not to mention all the time OBJ will have to sign said jerseys while on IR.
Has this been mentioned?

Remmers has an unknown injury, which could have factored into why the Vikings released after just two years on a five-year, $30 million deal. He was on the team's injury report in Week 17 with a back injury but managed to play the entire game. The Vikings may still bring Remmers back, though, just on a lesser deal, according to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press.
Good

It's like talking to a Girl about possibly going to prom, but that you'll have to get back to her after exploring all of your other options.

That might be right on. Moving to NYC is a big deal for a guy with family. Good call.

It's not just athletes - do you remember that picture of Robert Kraft's girlfriend? I'm pretty sure she's not onboard for his looks or charming personality.

It basically tells whoever else is interested to up their offer. If they wanted to sign without listening to other offers, they would have.

Thats kind of a shitty thing to say.


I’d be willing to bet that BigBlue2112 is quite the looker himself.
I pride myself on being a solid 4-4.5

Unless no one else wants him

I wonder if coming to NY with his family is the last thing he would want to do. Just thinking out loud.
Could be that Remmers is going to be checked out medically,  
TMS : 3/15/2019 6:32 pm : link
There is an issue there when he was not resigned by Minnesota. Who wanted to resign him for a lesser comtract Due diligence by the giants is to be expected. He is confident and we are confident if it is a nothing. If not we both move on. Agent seemed optimistic. So will I be but that is tough for Giant fans these days.

I doubt this is a medical issue. If the Giants had done their due diligence, as I assume they did, the medical part of this would have been checked out before scheduling a meeting. This is just about NYG making him an offer that he feels he can refuse.

Right. He wasn't taking the " you're injured right now" offer. What his agent said was that when he can clear a physical, they will revisit thew issue with the Giants, if there's still an opening.

We've done this before, interviewed vets early in FA, to have them leave, then sign in August (or late July, early September..) when they can pass a physical
Who knows what’s going on other than Giants medical staff, FO/coach
