How much would it cost? Would love to get him back
spotrac has him at 8.5m  
BigBlueDawg56 : 1/31/2023 7:18 pm : link
not bad. i bet he could be had for even less to be honest
he's getting to the point  
Giantsfan79 : 1/31/2023 7:18 pm : link
where he's in the I'm getting cut because my salary is too high, I'm looking at vet minimum contracts going forward boat.

So maybe not too much!

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 1/31/2023 7:19 pm : link
Isn't he still under contract with the Vikes? And if not, he'd probably be too expensive to bring back. He's still pretty young too so he might want one more big payday.

Not at all. His contract is expiring. He's had 2 productive years for them. He was on a really rear to start this season. No idea what he'll command but he's still a plus starter.

Already have a ton of money tied up to this position, and more will be come shortly when dex signs a new deal. Any depth we get on the dline should be draft picks.
Honestly the money can be better spent

Id rather see them draft and develop some fresh talent at a lower cost
Id' love to get him back as well  
BillT : 1/31/2023 7:37 pm : link
I don't buy the Sportrak $8M. I think they're off on their market value analysis in general. He got $10.5m per on his last contract and is 28 which still young enough to be considered in his prime. The cap is going up and I think he's got to be as expensive this time. But I'd pay that to put him back with Dex and Leo. They were a force together. He's a 3 tech which is just what we need. The DL is thin and we need another quality player there.
Would love to see DT in blue again...  
Pete in CO : 1/31/2023 7:45 pm : link
...but the Giants have a great track record drafting for this position. I'm thinking they'll find great value at a 3rd Rd pick or 2nd tier FA.

+1. We also have Davidson coming back at some point next year.

Sammo85 : 1/31/2023 8:06 pm : link
Neither front office or coaches have any attachment to him. Very unlikely.
Yes please  
rasbutant : 1/31/2023 8:07 pm : link
Would love it to happen. But I doubt it will.
I'd love it too,  
section125 : 1/31/2023 8:13 pm : link
but they need low cost players as back up. They'll look to the draft, UDFA and vet minimum players.

you could’ve said the same about Collins, yet, here we are.

He was a cheap street FA pickup. Tomlinson is going to get offers close to 8-10m a year.

Like butt fumble rear?
$8.5 Would be a No-Brainer  
OntheRoad : 1/31/2023 9:13 pm : link
if that's what it takes.

IDL is a bigger need than defensive backfield. Giants are unlikely to get a better player in free agency.

Not sure why that’s a factor. If they like his game what does the previous history, or lack there of matter?

Yes they do; Andre Patterson, our DL coach, coached him in 2021 while Tomlinson was with the Vikings.
Maybe swap?  
Coopcomic : 1/31/2023 9:45 pm : link
There's a lot of talk about Leo getting injured, not being worth the $32M. Since you're not going to draft a DL first rounder, is it worth considering signing Tomlinson and cutting Leo? I like Leo, btw. But if the theme is 'hard choices', this would be a sensible trade-off maybe to allocate money elsewhere.
Dalvin plays the nose  
allstarjim : 1/31/2023 10:42 pm : link
Dex plays the nose. So you're not going to pay significant dollars to get 30% snap share at best as a rotational guy.

He'd have to start at DE, and then he'd be an expensive early down and short yardage DE.

Nope, it's a square peg, round hole situation.


Unless we are cutting LW,  
BigBlueNH : 1/31/2023 11:04 pm : link
it would be crazy to commit that much $$ to the IDL position. You can't pay 3 big salaries at that position, and still have enough left over to stock other positions.
Such an underrated player  
BSIMatt : 1/31/2023 11:34 pm : link
Would love to have him back, it’s like having a run stuffing MLB as a 300lb DT, he’s so good in the middle as a plus run defender, love ex wrestlers as defensive tackles.
If he were to come in to be a back up  
Dankbeerman : 2/1/2023 7:27 am : link
on a 2-3 mill deal sure. But he can do better. He would really be a guy to share some of Dexs snaps and really wouldnt be the 3rd DL on the feild.


Would like more of an 5 tech guy that could play as a 3 man line with Dex and LW.

My pick for affordable Vet help is Matt Ioannidis. And then add a player in the draft.


I think we are looking for depth rather than starter  
Rudy5757 : 2/1/2023 9:49 am : link
More of a rotational guy than a starter. Hes going to cost too much.
Is he available?  
aimrocky : 2/1/2023 11:02 am : link
I'd love to have Aaron Donald as well...
I don't see a need to waste money on a DT  
Doubledeuce22 : 2/1/2023 11:11 am : link
when LB, OC, WR, and CB are of much more urgent need right now.
