Not sure how much stock you put into Jordan Raanan confirming something, but per twitter ( I don’t listen to his podcast), confirms at the very least a discussion was had.
Unless Giants are trading their own expiring players straight up, i don’t see this rebuilding team trading for a future high priced WR. Zero chance any picks should be involved and much like LW last year, why give up assets for someone you can pay in FA. i can only see this happening if A) Lions have no intention of paying Kenny and B) Ironically, LW would have to be involved..or maybe Zeitler/Peppers or other players whose names have popped up in rumors.
I saw this last week and shook my head. DG thinks we are 1 player away.
Then trade Zeitler for a 3rd

No, we should under no circumstances walk into a draft where we are again looking at a top 5 pick and trade one of our 5 picks left. This idea is fucking crazy. Teams don't do this at 1-6 for good reason.
At some point the league has to sit down and have a talk with Mara.....his incompetence has turned us from one of the premier NFL franchises into a fucking laughingstock.

Maybe they take a 3rd and we can sign him long term. This team badly needs someone on the outside

^^^^^^^ 100% ^^^^^^^
If a contending team wants and needs a starting guard, they are not getting away with a 6th rounder.
Also how is Mara allowing these talks to be had LOL
My guess is that we've already shopped Tate and Zeitler and found that we can't get anything for either of them. The offers we received for Engram and Tomlinson were also less than what we were willing to accept.
Yup, he sure did.
Exactly, if they sign him to a long term deal here’s your next Burress. Big Golladay fan.
And another guy with a different sort of track record completely mocked him for it.

I see this, too.
But I think there is also an underlying message - Mara/Gettleman think they are still in the hunt for the Least and believe adding a very competent WR will significantly help.
Can't say it's totally crazy. But is "winning" the Least with 5 or 6 wins really a good year?

Why does everyone always jump to this conclusion?
Perhaps the giants just want a wr. You might not get this same wr in fa.
Assuming we have a contract agreement in place, I'll do Golladay for Engram, Tate, and Zeitler. Or maybe Golladay for Engram and Tomlinson.
if it's draft picks I'd imagine they'd want a 3rd+ and that I'd pass on. You can find good WR's in FA.
He's really good, but the idea of trading for him when he'll be a FA at year end is incredibly stupid.
It really is time to take the car keys away from Gettleman, who should have been shown the door with Shurmur.

So selling their best WR doesn't make sense, especially for Patricia and Quinn...very likely trying to keep their jobs.
Both on expiring contracts. We are still with at least 3 competent starters at DT/DE up front. Golladay fills a bigger hole. Next contract would probably be similar to what LW wants....
Am I nuts?
Engram is not comparable value plus they have Hockenson.
Tomlinson? Maybe, he's one of the few guys who date back to the Reese era but he is a defensive captain currently.
I'm just not sure I see a fit for a deal here.

No, I would do that as well.

If the above was the case i think you absolutely do It. We have a handful of DT/DEs, not so much WR. Even if we don’t come to an agreement with KG this off-season(in this scenario we absolutely should), what’s the damage? You let LW walk which theoretically we were going to anyway
The Lions only won last weekend because Golladay made plays.

Because it DG. Because he traded assets last year for a FA to be? I mean, I get it.. we desperately need a wr. But it seems like you either trade a pick for a guy with a long term contract or sign a guy in FA. Not trade picks for a guy becoming a FA. This isn’t the only wr around. Yes he’s good but ... the draft is full of good wr. Other teams seem to find them every year.

Agreed. I don't see this happening, but can't believe we'd be "buyers" again in FA.
