players to extensions now. I see Philadelphia is signing several core players to extensions. It appears to me that the players are going to be making a lot more money in the next agreement and it makes sense that free agent contracts will go up a lot. Is this true? If so, do the Giants have any players they should consider extending now as core players? Hernandez, Golden? anyone else? Didn't George Young have the opportunity to sign core players for savings back in the 80s and let it pass till the agreement? Can't remember that. This team has so many holes that every dollar will count. Locking in core players ahead of time might be good business. Just curious as to whether the Eagles are right on this and of course, no one knows what the numbers in the agreement will be. The Eagles do seem to have managed their cap ahead of the curve for some time (well maybe not at QB!)
You also have to wonder is the coach situation would hinder any signings. if Shurmur is not coming back like many think, then you really want to wait on signing players for the new coach to have some input.
