Here is a summary of info from the beat reporters/news outlets today:
Still interested in edge rusher Jordan Jenkins, but he was looking for $13 million per year. The Giants are still interested, but not at that price.
One scout said Toilolo is the type of guy you use to help ease a rookie into action or assist an inexperienced tackle. Hint for the draft?
Markus Golden is still available, and an option, but there seems to be something impeding that potential deal. Price?
Giants were interested in C Ted Karras before he signed with the Dolphins, but the level of interest was unknown.
Giants have interest in 35 year old QB Matt Moore as a back-up.
If there was a free agent available the Giants liked better than Leonard Williams, they’d rescind the tag and sign that player. But that player doesn’t exist.
Leonard Floyd was probably never a realistic option. His value was too high.
Offensive line will eventually be addressed in free agency.
WR Russell Shepard was never high on the priority list to stay.
There might be interest in bringing back recently cut C/OG Evan Brown to compete for a roster spot.
Devon Kennard was never a realistic option to return.
S Vonn Bell will not return to the Saints when they signed Malcolm Jenkins. Bell would be a good scheme fit, but price will probably prohibit that signing.
The team will likely address FS in free agency.
They are pretty close to the cap limit they expressed. Any OL help or safety help will need to be pretty cheap.
It's clearly a strategy by the Giants, the front-loading of contracts.
I'm really interested in seeing what their draft looks like.
I also wonder if they are considering signing a few of their own players early at discounts. Tomlinson, Engram, Hernandez, Peppers.

I like it. It is the first time in a long time that they are being realistic with their outlook. They know we aren't at a level to truly compete yet so they aren't going all in by being fiscally irresponsible. They front loaded these contracts and rightfully so. There are a bunch of benefits to this. One, this allows us to build our team through the draft and in FA for future years. This gives us outs on these contracts if these players don't perform with little cap penalties. In that same breath, if we ever wanted to trade these players we can get draft picks and not take a cap hit. This allows us to slowly build up our team over the foreseeable future. I like this better than overspending on high priced FA that we will want to get rid if for underperforming.
Is there any talk of Solder renegotiating to free up some space?
I am very happy with the FA period.

Same, they are being very smart and know this isn’t a one year rebuild.
Gotta hope JJ and his staff are truly outstanding coaches!
And yet another thread you show up on to cry. . Miserable, whiny fuck. Please do us all a favor and create one thread to keep all the Dave in Hoboken misery on. This is just stupid at this point.

Keep following me around and it's not gonna stop. You should know that by now, cunt.
I'm not a DG fan at all, but I like our approach thus far.
I think Judge came in and revamped a lot of shit. It doesn’t guarantee instant results, as I think we are headed for another long losing season, but it will pay off in subsequent seasons. Finding modest/cheap stop gaps until the FO finds long term solutions is a smart way to go.

Follow you around? I’m trying to read these damn threads and your bitch ass is on every single one of them. I hadn’t said anything until an hour ago and you were still littering every thread with your asinine bullsshit. So yeah, blame me. It’s not our fault your life is a complete dumpster fire and you’re a failure at life. Take it out on someone else. Cunt.

I;ve posted in two other thread besides this one today. So...yeah, following me around. You're the one who's thing on here is following around posters and going off on them for not fellating a franchise that has sucked for nearly a decade straight.
Like, that is literally your station in life for several years now. If I were you and had no job, no wife, and no kids, I guess I'd resort to fellating my favorite teams no matter the results and going after the big meanie's on their message boards who don't approve of every single failing season and move they make. Your a loser in life and have been for many years and it's never going to change. Have fun living at home for the rest of your life.
We need duplicate threads. One for discussion and one for vitriol and emotion and one for commentary.
There's always Barber College.
😀
I wouldn’t say they were frugal they did sign two of the higher priced defensive players and both are younger.
Hopefully the giants can get that center in FA or even trade. Then draft.

And you’re still a miserable loser. Get mad like you just made me! Storm into Gettlemans office tomorrow and tell him how you feel! Fight the good fight! Now pardon me while I go punch the wall of my parents basement because I’m so angry...
Take this foolishness somewhere else.
You guys are trashing quality posting.
It's more that there isnt a move made that decisively makes them better. I like the Bradberry deal, but if the pass rush is as bad as it was last year, its largely not going to matter how good Bradberry can play if he has to cover for an eternity.
Genuine question, do you feel better complaining so much? If not what the point, the Giants and BBI seem like they make you miserable

Me? Dave in Hoboken has been on every thread discussing free agency the past few days spewing his same nonsense. Ruining threads. How is this my fault? It becomes hard to ignore him when it’s on every thread I look at. He deserves to be called out.
I apologize for my part though. My bad
It’s baffling.
I just responded to the last one.
Not meant as a personal call out, we all need to let shit go.

I know you're the Giants police and all you do is call out people who don't praise every Giants move, but 'ruining' a thread isn't posting a dissenting opinion to a move a team makes. People are allowed to have opinions whether you like them or not. Not everyone is just going to praise every move every single offseason when this team has been in the postseason once since 2012. It hasn't been a good team. It's been a horrendous team. This is NOT opinion. It is fact. And signing LB's who can't cover TEs isn't helping.
And UConn, 'baffling' is a funny word to use. The exact word that comes to mind when some of the folks here defend every move made in every offseason despite the *strong* majority of those moves have been proven to not help the team do anything but win 9 games in two seasons.
What don't people get, you can blame DG all you want. The true decision makers were Mara and Tisch. This all part of the transition process.
Now if we are not competitive by next year, then you can fire DG and Judge along with him.

If NYG go 6-10, you’re firing Judge as well as DG? DG sure but giving Judge 1 year is nuts unless they go like 2-14.
But part of that is because of your first point, Eli is gone. And I agree, Mara not being able to rip the band aid off is the #1 reasons why we are where we are.
Hopefully its all over with now.
I wanted an upgrade on the line too and is hasn't happened yet. There's still FA left and the draft. I'm a reasonable, patient person and in the end its a fucking game. If what's going on in the world hasn't woken you up yet about how not serious sports are then I don't know what to tell you.
So i'm going to look on the bright side of every acquisition and look forward. Constantly harping on all the bad over the last 7 or 8 years doesn't do anything for anyone. You think Judge is looking at our 2015 draft and scratching his head on what to do next?
It’s just the pink hat uneducated fans
