Xavier McKinney @mckinney15__
I want to be appreciated in every way for what I do and bring to the table . As a player and as a leader . I’ve stood by myself ten toes through the critics , the hate etc. sacrificing what those around me didn’t want too or were afraid too for those same people to make it a better situation for all of us . May not always have been beneficial for me but it was for US . Don’t let that go over your head . And I’d do it 10 times over again 🫡

Sounds like Xavier McKinney contract talks are underway.
He played a hybrid safety role the last 2 years instead of just what suits his skill set best.
That was my first thought.
😀
Hoping they can find some middle ground on a contract.
I’m afraid to ask, why.

A lot seem not to like him. I think he's been a solid player and one they can't affored to lose.
I just don't see the value in X at $12M AAV or more.
Schoen would be INSANE to give him that, with the shape this roster is in. Someone will, better not be us!
McKinney was outstanding in 2022 before getting hurt. Since then, he has been a good, not great, S who flashes a great play now and then.
Pretty good is giving them a lot of credit...

Why do these athletes have to do this shit?
I'm 56 maybe that's why I don't get it.
Very little about the roster is here for the long haul right now.
At the end of the day, someone might

Our pretty good defense, which for a brief moment actually looked like a good defense, is about to get worse. So that’s fun.

27th against the run
That's all I have without looking anything up.
Well done.
Must have been wearing good safety shoes that day
by the end of the offseason if you dont keep this type... you will watch the team allocate X million dollars to non giants who are marginal players who will collect a check and be gone in 2 yrs.
keep good players- draft good players--- be opportunistic trading (williams) when possible.
repeat until you have enough good players to compete.

This is a salary cap league and there's a ton of safeties.
Some safeties have gotten paid the last few years because they went to teams that HAD to hit the cap floor.

Well…considering the history of this franchise, that’s nothing to sneeze at…

Only 24 years old. He's exactly the type of player you give a second contract to and is likely to live up to that contract.

Yup. Glad somebody said this.
He seems to be tuned into what's being said...
Wow!

How do people say that want and expect us to improve when they want to re-sign mediocre players to premium contracts?

Can anyone name an impactful game he has had?
Thank you.

And, for the record, I am not saying I don't want him back. However, if he is looking for top dollar then, yes, we need to move on. I said the same thing about Jones last year. My max was $30 per. When he was asking for $40, you cannot be afraid to move on.
Then all the sudden, he makes 2 All Pro plays on back to back snaps.
Those weren't Stevie Brown INTs. Those were 2 elite plays in a row. I've never seen anyone play a WR screen like that. Great football play.
If it's been determined internally that he's a great player playing out of position, pay him. Playing every snap is unbelievable.
