Devonta Freeman to Bills

Saquads26 : 1/12/2021 9:36 am
"Bills are signing former Giants’ RB Devonta Freeman to their practice squad, per his rep @agent. Bills need another back to make up for loss of RB Zack Moss."

Per Schefter
I figured they let him go  
JonC : 1/12/2021 9:44 am : link
because he might be willing to suit up for a playoff team in need.
Hmm

interesting...wish they had had him healthy instead of Morris
It's fun to see the Bills as a strong team again

Jim Kelly and the K-Gun offense was a brilliant watch.
High powered offenses in the snow were pretty rare back then.
He did a nice job  
Big Blue '56 : 1/12/2021 10:00 am : link
here pre-injury. All the best to him.
Moves like this....player appriciate the Giants organization

This is why they have such a good reputation
Good deal for him

Put out some decent tape in limited action, shows that he still has some gas in the tank... get healed up, and go join a team that's a legitimate contender making a playoff run.

This.
Good for him

Hope he gets a Super Bowl ring this year.

Yes. The Giants famously have never won a championship.
Mystery solved

I thought it was peculiar that they would release someone on a one-year contract. If Freeman signs a contract for $2M+/season (or thereabouts) in free agency their generosity could cost them a 7th round comp pick in 2022.
yeah -- I like Freeman

I thought he really got our running game going in a very good direction

It's a shame about the injury bug with him (not to mention concussions). When healthy, he's the ideal backup to Barkley. He still has a burst. But you can't depend on him, so what's the point.

if you think the Giants have a reputation as a well-run winning franchise....that's cute.
LOL..

I guess it is also cute that the Giants are the only team to win a SB in every decade since the 80's.

That's 4 of them. Dregs of the league and all.

I love when our very own fans are even too ignorant to enjoy the team's history. Fucking incredible.

Ha ha, craziness. Many don’t realize just how successful this team has been over the years.

Listen, I get we're all frustrated lately with the direction of the team/the product post Hurricane Sandy in '12. But people acting like we're the F'ing Detroit Lions...like come on. If you're above the age of, say 30, you've seen them go to 3 Super Bowls & win 2 of them in dramatic fashion.

You don't think a 30 year old WFT fan would trade places with you? A Cowboys fan? A Eagles fan? A Vikings fan? A Bears fan? A Packers fan? A Saints fan? A Bucs fan? A Panthers fan? A Falcons fan? A Seahawks fan? A 49ers fan? A Rams fan? A Card fan? A Bills fan? A Jets fan? A 'Fins fan? A Browns fan? A Bengals fan? A Titans fan? A Colts fan? A Texans fan? A Jags fan? A Raiders fan? A Chargers fan?

Listen, it could be worse. A lot worse.

well there's a little bit more too it than that...but of course you're too fucking dense to understand.

of course it could be worse...but we have fans here that have a VERY inflated view of how this team is perceived or should be perceived. The Giants are not the Yankees. Not even close. But hey, we're "classy"! And so are our fans!

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 1/12/2021 7:30 pm : link
I still think this franchise is highly esteemed around the league, despite our lack of recent success.

You’re example 1 Billion on why the Giants fan base is the worst fan base in all of sports. The sense of entitlement is off the charts. And the incessant fucking whining is embarrassing as hell. Ask fans of other teams what they think of Giants fans and this is what you will hear. Just a pompous, dreadfully insufferable group.

A little bit more than what??

The fucking idea we aren't a winning franchise?? Four Super Bowls, asshole. It doesn't really go further than that.

If I'm fucking dense that I appreciate seeing 4 Super Bowl wins in my lifetime, what are fans of 80% of the other teams in the NFL??

There isn't more to it - you are a fucking moron - plain and simple.
Good  
AcidTest : 1/12/2021 10:12 pm : link
for him. He ran hard for us in his limited action. I'm glad he has the chance to play for a playoff team.
