Wish we’d move on. Hes just bad in man to man coverage and is a penalty waiting to happen. I will admit he makes some clutch plays from time to time, especially against the run, but overall im not a fan.
Wink apparently loves him. He has a role on this team. You don't just cut players like him, especially at this stage of the offseason.
Agreed, and he’ll be better second year in the system. Let him play out the fourth year of his contract while those beneath him on the depth chart develop, and maybe he nets as a comp pick down the line.
He is exactly who I’m hoping Aaron Robinson, Rodarious Williams or a drafted rookie can push for the slot role as the season progresses.
That’s an absurd question. He’s a pretty big favorite of Wink and has played reasonably well. He’s not a star but has been effective in the role he was given. Surprised he’s still on the team? Try keeping up.

It probably cost you more to replace him and it saves cutting it to at least want to get to the draft to see what you’re able to yes before cutting a quality player. Wink really seems to like him so even if we do drive someone I think he’s on the team next season.
Wink clearly is a big fan of his and he is a very talented player. The penalties are maddening though and they often come at critical times. With the lack of talent at CB around the league it is no surprise to me that he is back.
If he can just cut down on the penalties then he could be an excellent player. Despite his lack of size he is a very physical player.
What CB talent have the Giants brought in to supplant him?
I’d be uninspired if he was playing 65% of the snaps come week 1. But as a depth guy? He’s a good piece to have. And whose to say that a guy entering his 4th year can’t get better. No point in cutting a 53 man caliber nickel back when you don’t have anyone better.
It seems most of his penalties were unnecessary as he was already in good position. With more confidence in the system and more coaching, I think he can be better.
He was making a ton of plays on the ball all summer last year. I'd like to see more of that in games.
In todays NFL. He's got a lot of experience. I'll trust Wink on this one. Easy. Let him decide. See reason to cut him u less he gets buried on the Depth chart after draft and camp.
So, you dont just get rid of the guy. Add another starting DB who can push Holmes farther down on the depth chart.

Hmm … that’s quite a difference of opinion.
It's just his holding penalties at the most inappropriate time that drive everyone nuts.
No not surprised he's still on the team.
Was thinking the same thing
Plus why create a hole that you will just to have to fill - especially if the team isn't desperate for the cap space yet.
Even with the penalties, he's been really good value for a day 3 pick.
If he can just cut down on the penalties then he could be an excellent player. Despite his lack of size he is a very physical player.
Meanwhile he was only on the field for 59% of snaps.
Probably better than who his replacement would be as the 5th or 6th CB.
Totally agree. He’s got a lot of talent, but needs to cut the penalties.

Man coverage? Suspect. I’d rather have flott. But Holmes can tackle
It's infuriating to me that he does this.
That being said, I'd bet that much to my consternation, he sticks around.

Yeah, we need a Flott/Holmes hybrid!
Said a little differently: "Players will be tolerated until they can be replaced."
