In the discussion re paying Williams I was thinking who the hell do they have to pay?
Solder/Zeitler/Tate likely gone next year./
Tomlinson, ok.
WHo are they saving money for? Not Barkley, he has to show he's back. Jones in 2 years? The OL is cheap for the next few years.
How can DAL have so many highly paid players, D Lawrnce, Tyron Smith, Elliot, Prescott, Martin, SMith and the Giants can't afford Williams?
I think they can pay him and still go get the FAs they need. I mean who is really eating the cap?
Where are all these edge players ??
Now we pay Bradbury and Martinez.
Keep your heart out of it.
Its ok take some risk into account (of a bad signing) if position looks to be of low supply for upcoming Free Agents and/or Top 100 Draft.
Not difficult for a competent GM.
But I just keep hearing we can't pay Williams and Tomlinson, why? If they are a strength, keep the strength. If a FA Edge rusher is available, get him too, what on earth would hold us back?
The problem with that is this seems like it will take a few years to get back to normal as they aren't going to take the whole hit in 1 year. I do agree we will see a lot of one year deals but I don't think it is worth the risk for the next 2 or 3 years for the player. A 2 or 3 year deal would be better IF they can still land that big contract when that smaller contract expires.
He wears the Scarlet "R" on his jersey. A couple of guys left.
If the cap starts going down, then we're at the end of the road.
We do? Haven’t seen anything here except this. No saying your wrong Jon but what’s the source.
We do.
We do.
Thanks. Do you think that might mean they are going to a “4-3” thus needing to pay only Williams and Lawrence.
This is foolish. I agree that the Giants should look to keep LW, but not at 17 million. Maybe not even 15 million per. We are fairly deep at the position and can deal without him. Maybe another corner. Maybe Bud Dupree. Maybe anybody. But his price tag I dont think is in anybody's ball park. But a fair offer to stick around where he has spent his whole career, get paid well and experience success....thats a strong selling point.
But to overpay a guy because he has played well shpuld not be on the agenda. Make a strong offer to him and Dalvin and keep a strength a strength.

I don't know keep one vs keep both. I guess it also depends on their backups too. With that said-- the last 3 games they have looked good but we have to realize the competition they have been up against has been awful. WFT OL stinks and both Dallas and Philly have been ripped apart by injuries.
Maybe they are good anyway. Just saying it isn't a lock yet that these guys deserve big bucks as a tandem.
And thus another problem with overpaying cerain players...
Tomlinson will want a similar deal, and in another t to 1.5 years Lawrence will have his hands out for the big payday also... You going to tell me we are going to tie up over 45M for this group of DTs. That's nuts.
I thought the NYG had fielded interest for Dalvin Tomlinson, and not that they are trying to move him. We shall see.
