Antonio Pierce and #Raiders pursued #Giants special assistant to the GM
Jessie Armstead for a similar role, but he is staying put, per sources. LVR thought he was coming to point where he had a presence at team facility, but Armstead will instead remain under contract in NY. Pierce and Armstead are both #NYGiants LB greats
"both #NYGiants LB greats"

who, ironically, only played together in Washington.
They go way back

They were partners in a Cadillac dealership near me. TV commercial used to run all the time. It was probably 10 years ago and since then it changed names so I don’t think it lasted long.
I wouldn't have minded him

on our coaching staff, as opposed to a special advisor. He was such a hard working and fundamentally sound LB.
Did their playing careers overlap

in DC?

Anyway, in this case I’m reminded of the conversation Saban and BB had in the “Art of Coaching” documentary in which they both expressed displeasure when guys leave their program to become coaches elsewhere. Their thought is that everyone is free to pursue any opportunity they want, just don’t come looking to take my guys.

I still believe if his pick 6 stands the Ravens SB has a very different flow. Dilfer that season did not recover well from early blunders. He played above himself that game once we let them get rolling.
I wonder what Armstead  
Giantsfan79 : 2/14/2024 7:50 pm : link
does day-to-day as a special assistant to the GM?

Also does special assistant come with any perks beyond what the regular assistant probably gets?
Jessie Armstead

Here is a player I somehow always overlook. Sheesh glad his name was brought up.

They were partners in a Honda dealership in Hamilton, NJ as well. Sold it in 2019.

I absolutely have maintained this position...
