I’m just not looking forward to everyone calling him “Edwards” like they call Hodgins “Hodgkins”


But Edmunds would be a godsend for a team that severely lacks athletic ILB. Plus, it’ll piss Greg off.

Lower key guys that Im interested in are,


Drew Tranquil
TJ Edwards
Kwon Alexander
Matt Ioannidis
Soloman Thomas
Arden Key
Rock Ya - Sin
JaMycal Hasty

and maybe take a shot at Donte Fowler

but I live in WNY and Edmunds production rarely meets his potential, which is extraordinary. I want no part of Lavonte David; I would prefer taking a 1 year prove it deal with Devin Bush.

To your list, I would add (obviously not all of them):

UFA
Dalton Risner, Max Scharping, Nate Davis
Rock Ya Sin, Byron Murphy
Mecole Hardman, Ashton Dulin (stolen from Sy) or Parris Campbell
Hayden Hurst, Maxx Williams
Miles Sanders (if it doesnt work out with Barkley), Matt Breida
Devin Bush

Possible Cap Casualties
Calvin Ridley
Shaq Mason
Tyler Higbee

Trade
Brandon Aiyuk

They just traded for Calvin Ridley

dumb on my part.

get em both even if its 40 mil. i dont need a center a compete, another crappy wr, another jaylon smith, a corner equivlant to a-rob. hit a home run. 2 studs instead of 6 average guys

davis for WR

Of those 2 LBs. I think David would be cheaper and I really think he is the better LB right now. He does everything well and has better instincts than Edmunds that you would expect from the position. Just preference at this point.

would be a one year stopgap at his age. Im not sure Tranquill will want to leave Chargers but he’s a guy worth looking at for LB. He was noticeable when I watched Charger games.

if NYG spent big UFA dollars on ILB or C. Look for ascending players who might shake free, otherwise they're more likely to look at more affordable options and/or the draft.

Giants have bigger fish to fry in house and the cap space will dry up quickly.

Whatever it is, We need a game-changing LB the most, off of what I’ve seen this season and how teams have exploited us there..

He is made for us… this is my fav FA, plus Joe and Dabs know him, so let’s lock him up

Might be able to grab a starter with a 3rd pick.
Sewell from Oregon is one that could be there.

No more stop gap measures. Get us a playmaker in the middle of the field that can shed blocks and stop the run.

Edmunds, OG Risner, trade for Tee Higgins. FA is terrible for WR this year.

like Samson Ebukam and Charles Omenihu from SF. They have both been pretty good rushers and looked disruptive. I'd add both of them on generous 1 year deals assuming they will probably want to play their way into bigger contracts.

ILB as a position looks to be a sweet spot in FA this year like OG was last year so I think we will see them bring in 1 of those guys with 1 of the multi-year deals they give out. Edmunds was a captain in Buffalo with Schoen/Dabs and TJ Edwards was a philly find when Brandon Brown was there. So I'd bet on 1 of those 2.

WR and OL are both fascinating positions where there are no obvious names. I'm not sure they'll be able to get both Gates and Feliciano back so they may need to make a decision there on who they want to start at C (id choose gates). after that then they should sign some more depth minimum guys with experience like last year.

they also need a good 3rd DT. Greg Gaines has always impressed me but Jarran Reed is another one i'd be good with. I think he was at Bama when Daboll was there. Dre'mont jones would be good too but maybe a little more expensive. Matt Ioniddis could be a cheap 1 year option as well.

at CB Dane Jackson from Buffalo is a younger guy who is probably getable on a 1 year deal as well since he'll be looking for a chance to start. he pressed in college and had a decent year this year. Anthony Averett is a FA again and he played with Wink in BAL for a few years. He got a 1 year 4m with LV last year but missed a bunch of games. Could be another good buy low on a 1 year deal to upgrade Moureau.

Because he was someone I thought we should target. Unfortunately, he seems like the exact same player as Jaylon Smith. Nothing stood out to me at all. I wouldn’t pay much for him. Slow reaction, not physical enough given his size.

Darone Payne
Dalton Risner
Bobby Okereke


Draft WR and CB in first two rounds

Can Leo’s contract be restructured

Can Glowinski be cut without cap implications?

He is young and our GM knows him. You have to think he will be on the Giants radar. These are the type of players that are worth long term contracts from the outside. I can see Edmunds teaming with Beavers to be a nice ILB Tandem.

People here can’t stand Slaytons drops, they’re going to hate Davis

if the bills trade a WR id bet on isaiah mckenzie and he'd be a good fit in the richie james role if he moves on to more money elsewhere.

agree but the biggest question with any desireable young UFA this year is do the bears go after them?

they have enough cap space to sign anyone they want and beat any offers so they will essentially get first dibs on whoever makes it to UFA like payne, edmunds, etc.

Well at least there will be someone new to blame when Jones doesn't improve much.

is a guy that doesn't get mentioned a lot. I think he would be a good get for the off season.

i love D'ernest johnson. i think he can be a starter in this league and very low mileage on the tires

Good point. The Bears have the most cap space in the league. I guess the prospect of playing on a playoff team behind Dex Lawrence and Leo Williams might be attractive. It will come down to money as well.

familiarity with the fo/coaching staff is big too. edmunds may come down to money but lesser players who are only going to command 1 year deals like dane jackson may choose to go where they trust the people in charge to help them have good seasons to earn bigger deals next year.

I notice tranquill and ekeler a lot

Rashaan Evans?

Has to be a priority. The 3-4 defense is predicated on having athletic LB’s who are stout against the run. In the draft I would target Drew Sanders and in Free Agency it would Bobby Okereke.

Edmunds, Pocic while drafting an ILB, and C(the UM kid?)

I'm not a C expert, but it seems like a pretty deep class: Oluwatimi, Schmitz, Wypler, Stromberg...

Not as good as Rickie James
