Regarding Beal....my position is that if he is healthy....i have no idea why he would opt out.
You actually have no idea why he would opt out? That may be because you don't know a single thing about him, his health, his family, his risk appetite or his future plans.
It is ridiculous that you would think you should have an idea what he should do and why.
traded for Leonard Williams is like buying Manhattan from the Natives for $22 in trinkets compared with the 3rd round pick used for Beal.
I don't hate Beal (even sports hate), and at the time it wasn't a bad use of a 3rd round comp pick (according to the consensus), but it worked out terribly.
Well....this is a fan site....so if it not debatable
There are responses to the news that a Giants player has opted out. You seem to be the only one who is confused by why.
The NFL didn't create an opt out option - special circumstances or not, because it seemed like a fun thing to do. There is an expectation otherwise healthy people would choose to opt out.
sam beal will have been a giant for three years, and i think will have played a grand total of 3 games in that time, out of a possible 48. oof.
Maybe it's better to look at his full draft results vs. 1 pick? Every GM has multiple Sam Beals so if that's the criteria for evaluation it's not exactly telling. Beal looked halfway decent in his debut last year.
The 1st real #s of total deaths in US are in for March.
The US loses about 3 million people a year....every year....roughly 250,000 people a month.
The last 5 years....the US actually lost about 227,000 people in March.
In March 2020....the US lost 193,000.
34,000 people less deaths in 2020..then the average of the past 5 years in US.
Makes perfect sense. Everyone hunkered down, no deaths from car accidents, no deaths from bar room brawls, no deaths from work accidents, and no deaths from all kinds of things that are the result of people being out and about (not to mention deaths via armed robbery since there are so fewer targets on the streets for the bad guys to encounter).
You have to love BBIers that try to turn every thread political
freedom of speech =/= freedom from criticism of what you say.
You can say what you like. Others can agree with you or call you a fool. Nobody is infringing on your right to free speech unless they are trying to get you banned or otherwise silenced.
I abhor the supplemental draft. The traditional draft process — combine, pro days, interviews, media, medicals, pressure — separates the men from the boys.
So many guys are slated to be higher picks then fall during the Spring. I don’t feel like the supplemental process puts that type of scrutiny on a guy. And too many guys “would have been a top X pick had they declared.” You really don’t know where a guy would have gone unless he goes through all the rigor.
Beal got medicals by 1 team I believe. Maybe if he goes through the combine his shoulder gets stronger look.
I apologize profusely for mistyping. The Giants could sign Logan Ryan to a 1-year contract.
Yes they certainly could afford his well-documented $10M asking price and he would likely be an effective slot corner. On a defense still likely to finish in the bottom quarter in team defense.
I’d prefer to give Holmes and Ballentine a shot and roll over money to next year.
Over the past two years, there was a lot of confusion on defense
especially in the secondary. It's going to be interesting what some new coaching can do with players like Ballantine and Haley. Holmes is an interestig prosect and Love can play safey and CB. I'm not as concerned as others re: the secondary.
Hopefully, this Baker thing evaporates, or results in a minor sanction
I don’t think Sam Beal wants to play football, period. After sitting for 2+ years and with a starting job staring him in the face, he decides to sit the year out? He is isn’t mentally or physically tough enough to play in the NFL. Too bad Gettleman didn’t figure that out 3 years ago.
I predict this guy will never play another down for the NY Giants.

You have no idea what is behind his decision. Respect his decision...he owes us nothing

Like a failed drug test and pending suspension ....that is driving decision.
That is all.....

Based on what evidence???. Or what rumor???
Making wild speculations based on the fact that a player on your favorite time has opted out of the season and nobody notified you!!!???
We still have freedom of speech on this site....no?

Whats your point?

Logan was named to the NFL Top 100 Team. Ryan was ranked #60 by a vote of 132 players, and he was selected to the Pro-Bowl (alternate).
The Giants could sign Logan Ryan to a 1 year comtract. He is a playmaker and would really help the Giants.
Yes they certainly could afford his well-documented $10M asking price and he would likely be an effective slot corner. On a defense still likely to finish in the bottom quarter in team defense.

They should move on from this guy, he can't even stay on the field. Now that he is healthy, decides to opt out.
Time to move on.
As far as Beal goes some guys are just injury prone. No one here has any idea if he's actually a decent ball player. We never knew him.
