| All signs point to CB James Bradberry being released soon. GM Joe Schoen admitted on WFAN trade market tougher than expected. Also they had compensation in place but not contract terms. Bottom line: Bradberry now getting released post-FA + draft when most $$$ is gone. Not ideal |

in prudent fashion. Some on here had a silly idea that waiting until after the Draft would yield a better offer. As if he was the last CB on the earth...
not sure if that was a reference this way, but rereading this from 2 months ago looks pretty much like exactly happened.
plan a - exactly what happened but bradberry turned down extensions from teams that were willing to trade for him.
Quote:
pursue a trade. and taken a step further, let his agent pursue a trade and gauge his market. you can bet Bradberry's agent is the most motivated/incentivized person on the planet to get Bradberry the most money, and knowing there's a threat of lost money both he and the nyg are mutually aligned in finding the team that most values bradberry.
plan b - exactly where we are now:
Quote:
in the event plan a hasn't come to fruition, Bradberry and his agent are now incentivized to do some kind of deal with the nyg bc they know if they don't they are at risk to lose money. remember in this scenario they have already spent months exhausting conversations around the league to find a home for him at his current cap # and havent. entering the market at a bad time it's only logical to expect they won't be able to get whole.
plan c - looks like schoen prefers deciding on a release in May vs. July but if anything that's him being generous to give Bradberry a better shot at finding a spot. But the why is irrelevant because if he designates him post-June 1 they won't get the money until June anyway. 3/23/2022 what's happening behind the scenes with bradberry? - ( New Window )
A bit verbose for no reason. Real simple...posters felt Bradberry was worth more than 4th or 5th round pick and we didn’t need the immediate cap relief in early April. So they convinced themselves that Schoen should just wait it out and some desperate team needing a CB after the draft would improve their offer to the Giants (not Bradberry).
It was never going to happen....
I really hope they don't extend him and put more money into a declining player.
It's more important for the 2022 NYG to play their younger players than trying to squeeze another year or two out of a veteran CB who is best suited for a team looking to add another piece for a deep playoff run.
Compensatory
No.
No it's not. They can easily restructure to get him under if they wanted to. They may not think he's important enough at this juncture to do so. That's all this is.
“Yeah, I was” surprised, Schoen said. “I thought there would be more interest. There were teams that showed interest pre-drat and we had a couple different times there was compensation in place and the contract never worked out ... sometimes if your’e going to renegotiate a contract and you couldn’t come to an agreement, it is what it is.”
There was interest, my guess is around their price point but a deal couldn’t be worked with JB and Schoen decided to balk until the draft. That’s a reasonable decision. We didn’t lose anything of value.
Bradberry actually makes this team better. He isn't that old, and he has one "off" year on a dogshit team built by a dogshit GM with no pass rush, all after a borderline all pro year.
Cut Barkley's 7 mil and keep Bradberrys 9 mil or whatever it is.

Un-friggin-believable.
trade market that exists for Bradberry .
The guy has slipped . I said before that he reminds me of Mark Haynes in 1985 . He lost a step that he didn’t have to lose . And , although he still might be the Giants best corner , he’s not going to be around in 2023 . They are not winning this season . They might win more games . I hope they do . I think they will. But everything is relative . There was just too much to do . Schoen walked into a complete rubbish pile .
Need the space to be able to get the draft choices signed , plus add replacements to the roster during the season . Gettleman went gonzo because he knew he was facing his last chance . Mara has become quite facile with the “win or else “ ultimatum that he first employed with Coughlin . Gettleman flopped because he was a flop .
New day. New way . Lots of changes . Looks like the Giants are going with young corners this season and a rookie safety . Let’s see how it goes . There is always a blend in thought , a laboratory mix between pressure and coverage . Properly done , the two augment each other . That hasn’t been the case with the Giants’ D for many years .
Most recently , Graham tried to mask pass-rush deficiencies with multiple -coverage schemes . In my lexicon “multiple coverage schemes “ =
2 unpleasant results : 1. No pass rush . 2 . At least one guy screws up and busts the coverage .
Wink is from the Ryan School . At the very beginning , Bud Man used to stress that the goal was having a complex defense without complicated responsibilities . I don’t think Bradberry is capable of handling those . There might not be another corner on the team that can , either . But let’s find out .
