Toughest NYG Free Agent Decision?

Eric from BBI : Admin : 1/22/2022 2:58 pm

Not completely sure who the restricted and exclusive ones will be yet, but here is the list of those not under contract.

QB Mike Glennon
QB Jake Fromm
FB Elijhaa Penny
FB Cullen Gillaspia
WR John Ross
WR David Sills
WR C.J. Board
WR Dante Pettis
TE Evan Engram
TE Levine Toilolo
OT Nate Solder
OT Korey Cunningham
OG Will Hernandez
OG Matt Skura
OG Kyle Murphy
OC Billy Price
NT Austin Johnson
NT Danny Shelton
LB Lorenzo Carter
LB Reggie Ragland
LB Benardrick McKinney
LB Jaylon Smith
CB Jarren Williams
CB Keion Crossen
S Jabrill Peppers
S J.R. Reed
S Steven Parker
S Joshua Kalu
S Nate Ebner
LS Casey Kreiter

The only ones really here who interest me still are Lorenzo Carter, Austin Johnson, and Jarren Williams, and even they wouldn't be really big losses.

Looking at the roster as a whole, this is a really, really bad team. Gettleman did nothing in four years after Reese/Ross ran the franchise into the ground. Just wasted years.

RE: Jake Fromm should return as a camp arm

If Daboll is hired as HC Fromm would be a valuable asset off the field as he already knows the offense and he can help the other QB’s get up to speed. Despite lacking the necessary arm talent Fromm is still a very intelligent, QB who might have a career in coaching. He’s also a great locker room presence.

As of now Daniel Jones and Brian Lewerke are the only two QB’s under contract next season. Jones might not be ready until the start of training camp so the Giants need to add 2-3 QB’s anyway plus Fromm will be making the rookie minimum with no guaranteed money.

Totally agree on Fromm. Inexpensive gamble with possible up side. As long as they don’t call for a QB sneak on 3rd and 9!

I'd

keep Jaylon Smith and maybe Fromm

Here's a better question:

j_rud : 1/22/2022 6:56 pm : link

How many of those guys will be an another team next year? Half? Less?

With no cap room, we won't be able to bring back ANY of these guys.

BigBlueNH : 1/22/2022 6:59 pm : link

When we cut some players under contract, then we can bring back a few of these guys. But not many, and not for much $$.

Carter for me

US1 Giants : 1/22/2022 7:17 pm : link

Don't think they will sign him or anyone unless it is at a discount. Pretty sure that the Giants use this offseason to clear the cap problems with dead money.

only must re-sign IMO is Johnson. He was solid at NT all year and he shouldn't be that expensive

The next tier for me is "Like to have back". In this tier are Carter, Smith, Pettis, McKinney, Penny, Pettis, Sills, Murphy and Williams

Everyone else? Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya

The only thought I have about this group is

They will all be looking for jobs and none of them are any real loss.

I thought he looked like a guy who belonged.

He’s the only guy on the list that jumped out to me too. The way he played in those last couple of games showed me he has some football left in him

Lorenzo Carter can go and do nothing somewhere else IMO

Austin Johnson

LakeGeorgeGiant : 1/23/2022 7:21 am : link

Jaylon Smith

Say goodbye to the rest

Nonsense Eric - Gettleman did something

Matt M. : 1/23/2022 8:15 am : link

He took a team run into the ground and made them worse. That was a hard task to accomplish.

I honestly don't know how that list compares

Matt M. : 1/23/2022 8:21 am : link

to past years in terms of # of FA, but it looks exceptionally long...and exceptionally unimpressive. There is not a single guy on there that, I not only wouldn't mi d losing, but who I really want back.

I knew Carter would be the intriguing guy for many. For me, he can't be shown the door quick enough. He has been mediocre at best here, with a couple of games that stand lut as very good. He got built up after a big "sack" performance in a scrimmage with 2 hand touch sacks. I would not invest a second contract on him.

There shouldn't be too many tough decisions with this bad of

NYGgolfer : 1/23/2022 8:22 am : link

roster. Only a few core long term guys and a few bad contracts that will take time to wean off of that should be considered keepers for 2022.

Basically everybody on the OP should be turned over very soon. Maybe keep a couple of good soldiers that are cheap on both sides of the ball, but doesn't really matter either way.

1 killer is 2 FBs

Matt M. : 1/23/2022 8:31 am : link

Half the league has none, we had 2, 1 of whom never played and the other barely played...on a team with a roster full of holes. Brilliant.

While there's not a single playeI want back

Matt M. : 1/23/2022 8:34 am : link

there are a few I think are I teresting enough

Smith
Williams
and maybe Penny

I wouldn’t keep Fromm.....

Simms11 : 1/23/2022 8:38 am : link

He’s shown nothing and has a very weak arm. Carter and J Smith possibly on fair deal. Eli Penny has shown he’s a capable FB and back. Austin Johnson would be good depth, but I didn’t think he was solid enough in the middle. We need an immovable wall at NT. I think we did miss Tomlinson this year. That said, those are the only FAs I would consider. We will still need to field a team and so some of those on the roster might be brought back anyway to provide some low cost depth for now.

As an Aside, Wonder if Glennon

clatterbuck : 1/23/2022 11:23 am : link

ever gets a chance for another paycheck as a backup. He stinks but I actually think the Giants incompetent offense made him look even worse than he is.

Lorenzo Carter

cosmicj : 1/23/2022 11:26 am : link

Don’t really want him back. We need to find another solution out there and look at younger players. But I wish him luck.
