Take this for whatever it's worth.
1) Remmers has agreed to terms with the Giants. He cannot pass a physical. Once he can he's signing a 2 yr deal with the Giants. They anticipate he'll be healthy by early May.
2) The giants are interested in Rosen but will not part with one of their top 3 picks. I was told they would offer this years 3 and a future conditional 3. The biggest fear with the Giants is acquiring Rosen is an immediate QB controversy. It would start in OTA's both in the media and locker room. Conversely, a guy like Jones or lock the fans and media will understand needs time to sit.
3) The Giants are going defense with their first pick. Williams will be the pick if he falls (same with allen or bosa) If he's gone the Giants like, in order, White, Burns, Gary.
4) The Giants love Greedy Williams and will take him at 17 if he's on the board.
5) Some free agents they're in contract with. Shane Ray, Mohammad Wilkerson and Danny Shelton. Nothing will happen before the draft.
6) If the giants go offense in the first two rounds it will be a big body WR or a QB. With remmers in the fold the giants will wait til rounds 3 and 4 to bolster their depth.
Flame away
Those moves make a lot of sense.
Here's an idea - f-ckin' manage it.
One thing I forgot, the Giants are in NO way considering giving eli an extension.
#2 is sad and pathetic and explains the Giants current predicament.
jtgiants has alludes to the fact that we won’t bring in Rosen because the starting job was promised to Eli. I really hope that is incorrect information.
Yeah, no riddles, inferences or pictures. Just straight-up info.
Have you heard if they are seriously considering Lock at 6?

"Job promised to Eli"... NOBODY should be promised ANYTHING. No wonder this org has been a dumpster fire over the past several yrs.. and it starts with ownership. I'll say it again, sentiment doesnt will football games!!
NE With multiple day two picks will likely be the team to acquire him IMO. It will be entertaining to see those who didn't want Rosen on the Giants flip and criticize the Giants for not trading for Rosen because Belichick did.
Get a WR in the draft, depth on the lines, and with these additions, the transformation is looking good.
The giants, right or wrong, believe that if they put good enough talent around Eli he can still be a middle tier qb. They know they need his replacement but they dont think he's completely shot and arent going to force a QB just to appease the fans.
As far as the lockerroom, isn't that part of the reason for the massive roster turnover?. Make the move you need to make, then get everyone in line. And screw the noize.
Almost too good to be true
Thanks for the fantasy asshat
Totally agree, Eli is a perfectly acceptable option at QB once the talent around him improves...IMO, he's good for a couple more years.
You answered your question. They could cut Eli and solve it. Or they can bring Rosen in and let them battle it out (never going to happen in a million years). But instead of either of those they will likely stay out and just roll with Eli since they just paid his bonus. That blows, and I don’t even love Rosen, but it would finally let us turn the page.
I hope they are right on Greedy. He looked completely lost at the Combine. Deion pointed out some ways that his technique was shockingly bad.
Eli can still play if everything around him is perfect. It wont be. It isnt that he is immobile it is that he is a traffic cone and needs a good base to throw. Rosen is not a great athlete but he is nimble and can manipulate the pocket. Eli cant. He drops like a sack of potatoes every time someone gets within arms length.
Lets say they do win this year. Maybe 9-7, 10-6 which I think is a huge stretch but if it happens...then what?
I dont mind losing IF we are building towards something. Keeping Eli and going 9-7 (a stretch) does nothing for me.

assuming #2 is some "worried about Eli" thing? I read it as not wanting a huge every single day distraction with the insane NY media...makes some sense to me as they just got rid of OBJ for the same thing...and, is it that hard to imagine a personality like Rosen's in NY with that situation would potentially make things all the worse. In no way do I see this as some kind of deference to Eli and his feelings...that's just absurd IMO. While I don't think you can guide your franchise based on fear of the media or fan reaction, I also think that NY is a very unique environment and you would be a fool to ignore that all together. Not to mention, the OBJ trade just proves my point in that they obviously didn't overly concern themselves with fan or media reaction.

They obviously think he can still play and is their best option this year and maybe next so they're not cutting him. My point is they aren't doing it to appease Eli IMO.
Comments:
-Greedy is the best man to man guy in the draft by far and would be amazing value at 17. Love they are trying to address CB early if true.
-At #6 that short list is definitely not bad but a bit surprising not to see Oliver or Sweat on it. Some of those guys can be had via slight trade down too.
-Q.Will is probably their #1 guy on their entire board because he can line up anywhere on a 3-4 DL and wreak havoc. He would be amazing if we somehow got him.
-Not surprised at the Rosen stuff. It's too bad because he'd be a great fit here. Hopefully we up the offer to a #2.

90% of the outside world has been killing the Giants for everything they've done this offseason. Doesn't seem to me that they really care.
