Golladay: Worst Giants Contract Ever?

adamg : 9/26/2022 11:34 pm
They basically just flushed all that money down the toilet.
Him or Nate Solder  
Anakim : 9/26/2022 11:34 pm : link
Take your pick. Thanks, Gettleman.
Actually it's worse than that  
adamg : 9/26/2022 11:34 pm : link
because it counts against the fucking cap.

Solder played a significant number of snaps at this. This is unreal.
Golladay

is still a better receiver than Gettleman was a GM.

I feel like he dropped  
prdave73 : 9/26/2022 11:36 pm : link
that pass on purpose. I would trade him for a 7th rd pick!

Solder wasn't great but he had some good games and actually restructured his contract to help the cap. There's a good chance at this point that Kenny G leaves NY with 0 TDs.

Similar track records. Good in their first run. Given the big job, they fuck it all up.
It is hard to overstate  
Mike from Ohio : 9/26/2022 11:37 pm : link
How completely inept Dave Gettleman was.

Thankfully his biggest defender the last few years is all over these game threads calling other people idiots.
worst contract I remember was Lavar Arrington  
fish3321 : 9/26/2022 11:37 pm : link
played like 5 games and ruptured his Achilles and retired

There are 0 teams willing to trade for Golladay’s contract right now. You'd have to send picks to get rid of him.

Agree. Golladay has been much a much better addition than Gettleman was. So was Ray Handley. Gettleman is alone in his class when it comes to Giant mistakes.

Between Reeses drafting  
Chip : 9/26/2022 11:40 pm : link
and Gettlemans free agents excluding Adoree Jackson have been bad. Adoree looks great.
$150M

Comparing Nate Solder’s contract  
bmgints : 9/26/2022 11:43 pm : link
At this point is crazy. Solder was a colossal disappointment but at least tried. Golladay is much much worse
Golladay by far  
JoeyBigBlue : 9/26/2022 11:46 pm : link
From all accounts, teams were offering 1 year contracts to him. (Bears and Ravens). Then Gettleman goes out and signs this dude for 4 years at 72 million, when no one was offering that much. Just a terrible terrible decision by a moron GM.
Solder...  
bw in dc : 9/26/2022 11:46 pm : link
had a lot of personal challenges, injuries and was deep on the back nine of his career.

Unfortunately, Gettleman couldn't see the decline.

Regardless, at least he tried to play.

Golladay is just an embarrassment at this point for so many reasons. So, I say it's his contract as the worst.

Nobody is trading for him.period!
Worst signing ever  
WillVAB : 9/27/2022 12:04 am : link
He’s worthless and what’s worse is that he’s uncuttable and untradeable.
Honestly pretty impressive by DG to hand out the two worst contracts  
Returning Video Tapes : 9/27/2022 12:07 am : link
I’m franchise history. At least Solder made sense. KG was just a desperate attempt to save his ass.

What’s crazy is he wanted to trade for him until Judge took the keys from gramps

Is this count Rudolph's busted ass signing? Golladay/Solder top two in my memory.
Nate Solder was abysmal  
Breeze_94 : 9/27/2022 12:10 am : link
but Golladay takes the cake.

He is so slow/stiff and bad at separating that he cannot even position himself to make even a contested catch.

Add to that the drops on routine passes that are hitting him in the chest, and the shitty body language on the sideline.

He is a crook. He robbed Gettleman and Judge blind with his contract, and the new regime is paying for it- literally.
Ramses Barden was better than Golladay  
MartyNJ1969 : 9/27/2022 12:10 am : link
Golladay sucks,

His play fell of unbelievably fast and at least it made sense with the whole Eli thing.

It’s really clear that the reason KG was looking at high value 1 year prove it contracts from everyone else was because of the hip and rumor has it he vetoed our own docs. Tape doesn’t lie on Dave’s world. Which is probably why he was a great pro personnel guys and terrible GM. Between him signing Mauro off the roid suspension and not getting out of Tate’s contracts when he got busted just proves the guy couldn’t see the bigger picture
Rocky Thompson was better than Golloday  
yalebowl : 9/27/2022 12:19 am : link
He at least got two touchdowns on kickoff returns. He just didn’t need to be drafted number one. And his natural position was running back, not wide receiver. But he was drafted for his speed.
I'd get Bachman back  
montanagiant : 9/27/2022 12:23 am : link
And start him over Golladay
Staying on topic  
OlyWABigBlue : 9/27/2022 12:30 am : link
yes, it is my opinion that Golladay's contract is by far the worst contract I have seen the Jints give out in my 50+ years of fandom. I would love to have to eat those words but I have little hope.
KG.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 9/27/2022 6:36 am : link
At least Solder tried. KG is just cashing his checks.
Clearly KG's contract was  
section125 : 9/27/2022 8:41 am : link
the worst He has done nothing. Solder was not that good even in New England, but he played as best he could.
He needs to be walked out of the stadium and
