Tyrann Mathieu on twitter “Russell Wilson wants NY”

just isn't a clear path to Russell joining the Giants unless he demands it. He can be franchized the next two years after this one, and we can't afford to wait that long.

The union really needs to push hard to change the franchise tag in the next CBA. The fact a 30 year old player can be prevented from truly hitting FA isn’t a great model for the players.

Seems reasonable. Eli and his contract combined pushes it over 50M. If they wait a year then you take Eli's contract out of it

But you're not keeping Eli at full price if you acquire Wilson. In this fictional scenario, Eli is almost certainly released (or traded with his consent, I suppose) the moment the Giants trade for Wilson. With that in mind, Eli only costs $11.2MM this year if the Giants were to trade for Wilson this offseason.

So I ask again, how do you arrive at $50MM combined? You're not keeping both, are you?

What's honey badgers connection to Wilson?
