Giants FA rumors: Post any news here

Jay on the Island : 3/16/2020 12:26 pm
I thought it would be a good idea to consolidate all the rumors pertaining to the Giants on one thread. Let's try to keep this thread clean and post only news from trusted media sources.

We need to get a RT or Center in Free Agency. Are the Giants waiting for prices to drop? I suppose they’re looking at guys that could be a 1 or 2 year rental and focusing on drafting guys that could become eventual starters?!
Cameron Fleming sets a floor under the right tackle position for a year. It's a low floor, but at least he's a legitimate NFL player. Might point toward drafting a RT prospect who needs a year of development. The 2020 class seems fairly deep in that type.

It'd be great to have Markus back. Can't have too many quality pass rushers.

I dont see that anywhere on the Giants Insider twitter page and NYG_Pete isnt an insider
At least two of our Free Agents are on 1-year deals  
M.S. : 3/19/2020 8:01 am : link

Almost seems like Joe Judge is saying:

"Please do not saddle me with too many long term deals since I really don't know how these players will blend in with the team."
MS, contracts are not guaranteed  
George from PA : 3/19/2020 8:11 am : link
So it is more like, player will settle on a prove it deal, at those dollars.

2 year deals are zero risk for teams...

Now, your logic is true....as the contract are front loaded....which allows everyone to be cut with little dead money

Draft is deep in OL.



I think it’s almost a guarantee that we draft Oline, however, as DG has stated, don’t go shopping hungry.


This, coming from the guy who defined that role in 2018.
I know we get caught up in Dave TE  
Matt in SGS : 3/19/2020 10:09 am : link
but he had a podcast last night on what's going on around the NFL. Keep in mind, a few weeks ago he said that Brady was not coming back to the Pats (he is a consultant with Belichick) and he said he thought he was going to the Titans or Bucs. His next prediction is Jameis is going to New England, but anyway on the Giants

- He thinks Denver is going to release Joe Flacco soon. When they do, the Giants will look to pick him up as a backup to Jones. He noted that Flacco is a similar enough type player to Jones in case there is an injury and he has to step in to run the system. And he will provide a good veteran holding the clipboard for Jones. Makes sense

- The Giants and Seahawks are waiting on Clowney's price to come down. No one is giving him $20M. If he comes down to around $16M, the Giants will be back in on him.

I thought I read (RapSheet maybe?) that Denver was definitely about to dump Flacco. So stay tuned on that...

And to the point of the Pats. Maybe Bill’s plan up there is to bottom out and position himself for Lawrence or Fields in 2021? I’m trying to find the team(s) looking to get bad enough for those guys and SD is another “contender”along with Jacksonville, and maybe Carolina and Chicago thus far.

I like Dave Te. Hope he is right on both fronts.
I believe Belichek wants to troll the entire league and win w/ a loser  
Eric on Li : 3/19/2020 11:41 am : link
I don't know if he will pick Jameis or Dalton, but I think there is nothing Belichek would love to do more than to pick up a guy that everyone else says is a loser and can't win a big game, and win a championship with that person.

And before anyone says it's not possible, Parcells almost did it with Vinny testaverde.

Obviously Stidham could also be in play and I'm sure they will let him (and maybe another draft pick) compete for the job.

But I believe that is what Belichek wants to do and the fact that it would also lead some to (wrongly) throw cold water on Brady is icing on the cake for him.

49ers just informed starting guard Mike Person that he is being released, per source. A veteran guard now available.

Might be a cheap option for the Giants who can compete at center

He has experience at Center, but he was terrible there with the Falcons. He's a Guard.

That comment was totally a joke right? Was it reported anywhere that DG offered him a deal?

. Is this true ? Maybe Judge can get him to be all he can be in NYC. He is a true game changer if her wants to be. Put him and Williams on the line together and draft Simmons. We are contenders next year. Instantly.
Perhaps, but maybe not because the team has gone yet another year without a serious upgrade to a very bad OL.
If I was Billy B, I would consider Winston but only if Winston came

crawling and pleading. And I would offer a short term prove it deal. Maybe 2 or 3 years like the giants are doing.

If not, Dalton or Flacco are better choices.
Nice last page of the  
section125 : 3/20/2020 7:27 am : link
thread.

I do not think there is much left in the bank for NYG. Unless they get LW to a long term deal at the expected $12-13m(freeing about $3, and get Solder to take a pay cut, I do not see where they would get money for a Clowney and still have $6-7 for the draft picks. I really do not think there is enough for Golden, unless he takes about a $8m contract.

They signed McCoy, doubt Flacco is in the picture - he could go to NE.

Have to hope Carter and Ximines step up.
I wonder  
Philu916 : 3/20/2020 8:33 am : link
How much is Alex Tanney cap hit? I see the one who loses out on backup job as getting cut, hopefully it will free up some space. Are teams allowed to go into camp over the cap as long as they don’t exceed it week 1?
If the right player comes along  
JerryNicklebag : 3/20/2020 9:06 am : link
Teams always have ways to free up the cap to sign them.
