Contract details on a few recent Giants signings as I board my flight to Phoenix for the owners meetings:
• WR Jamison Crowder: 1 year, $1.3M with $27,500 guaranteed (signing bonus). He can earn up to $100K in per game roster bonuses. It’s a VSB deal, so $1M cap hit.
• CB Amani Oruwariye: 1 year, $1.2M with $52,500 guaranteed (signing bonus). He’ll earn a $75K bonus if he’s on the roster for any game this season. Another VSB, so his cap hit will be $1.1M.
Forget impacting draft plans, these contracts show both players are on the bubble.
VSB were pretty much all they did last year and could do outside of Glowinski and Feliciano so this response literally makes no sense
These are good moves by these 2 players.
A WR in Dabs offense and DB in Winks Defense can certainly help them next year if they can do well.
So cap hit is usually in 1000s, if that...
Obviously, prove it deals.....and both make a ton of sense as if they show their best....both could be starters.
Crowder hasn't been relevant in years hence the cheap contract. We'll see what happens but, to me, he's insurance for injuries.
As for free agency, IMO the value at FA CB will be too good to pass up a one year deal. I also expect another DT, but the options are fewer there so they may count on a rookie in the rotation. DJ Davidson was very serviceable last year.

Career 415/4667/28. Injury history is the concern. Soft tissue injuries in 20 and 21 limited him to 12 games. 22 season only 5 games due ankle fracture. Best year was 2019: 78/833/6. 16/17 seasons only marginally lower numbers. Not a WR1, but a quality player when healthy.

Not sure I agree with your concept of relevance? As I said, he’s been slowed by injuries the past 3 years, but as recently as 2020, he was contributing 5 rec and half a TD per game in the 12 he played. I’d agree that he wasn’t relevant last year, and has to prove he can return to form.

That is 3 years ago so ...
I hope the heirarchy makes it financially improbable that Brown ever leaves, Albeit a GM positional offer can’t be too far away, imo..He’s a keeper
That’s how I see it as well PR guy. Good vet presence in the locker room Al’s Shep but sees the field.
Indeed

Robbie is right.This is the NFL a lot can change in 3 years. Players bodies quickly breakdown from tackle sports. Either age or injury can drastically chnage a players explosion and agility on the field in just 1 year. This doesn't guarantee Crowder is Clam Chowder but he is a risky bet not being healthy in 2 years.
