I read on here recently that if the Giants cut Tate this offseason they won’t be hit with any dead money toward the cap because of his suspension. If that’s the case, what are your thoughts of cutting ties with him and going after Amari Cooper. I like Darius Slayton’s potential, but I also think having a solid #1 WR could really benefit our young QB.

But he's going to get money that would be much better spent on more critical needs. We could get two quality players for Cooper's salary demands. Probably three.
And if we can't find another good WR in this draft, Gettleman should go back to being a driver's ed teacher in Poughkeepsie.
Resources must go to oline. we can compete with the rest of what we have on offense.
This.
Cooper is not an elite WR but will get paid by someone as such. Gets completely shut down by good corners. He would be a terrible signing.
actually, not a no brainer.
dumb comment
Tate is cheap, has a great rapport with Slayton, excellent downfield blocker, runs precise routes and is dangerous in the slot.
But one thing seems clear - Judge wants to create a new culture here. I agree that WR will be one of those areas where we need to get better. Slayton is promising. But we need a true #1, and maybe one other complementary WR who will help Jones develop.
I lik this
Try actually using your brain next time because it’s not and would be a terrible use of resources.
No way a Giants are going to spend 100 million on Cooper and also eat Tate’s contract

I think there is a chance they double dip at WR in this draft. Then you run with the horses you have. Tate sticks around for another year.
