This is a rebuild year. Let the young players play
Bud Dupree  
KingBlue : 4/29/2024 1:41 pm : link
He's 31 years old... still has some tread on tires. We could use another edge.
No one to rely on a a starter  
logman : 4/29/2024 1:43 pm : link
but depth at CB and EDGE maybe?
The Giants shoul be looking to get younger and faster, if there is a

Ditto.
The kids can play...  
Chris in Philly : 4/29/2024 1:52 pm : link
while still adding a couple of low-cost veterans that can rotate in and out, especially pass rushers and cornerbacks. I wonder what Bowen thinks of Dupree?

His sack #'s were down while in Tennessee (3,4). Went up to 6.5 in ATL last year.
Wouldn’t mind

Right, he dealt with some injuries in Tenn and they let him go, but seemed to rebound a bit last year as you said. That's the kind of guy I would bring in if cheap. You know the words - you can never have enough pass rushers...

If they are looking for big money, I don't want a single one of them. If they are looking to get a year or two at low numbers, we should talk to them...
Tyre Phillips  
Capt. Don : 4/29/2024 2:05 pm : link
Assuming his rehab is coming along as planned.
Campbell

They need a 3-4 end most of all.

I considered him, but was afraid to look up his age...
Calais or Stephen Gilmore  
GiantBlue : 4/29/2024 2:33 pm : link
Would love to put him in the room with the young guys if he can be a smart on field veteran as well as locker room/practice mentor.
I'd rather

No doubt. Maybe Howard or Gilmore on a team friendly deal
Pass....

Def not worth it.. Its a new era for the G-Men...
Free agents  
Archer : 4/29/2024 2:41 pm : link
There are a lot of older free agents who may still have something left in the tanks.

They can help fill the holes that the Giants have.
The Giants need depth at corner, DL, and possibly OL.


The DLine rotation is looking thin.  
Tom in NY : 4/29/2024 2:55 pm : link
Nunez-Roches, Dex Lawrence, Riley, and Davidson.

If you want maximum results from Lawrence, you need to get another high level player to go along side him.

If they are only going to sign 1 more, I'd go Calais Campbell or Lawrence Guy.

Edge has 3 legit players; CB they have 4 different bodies to throw out there (Flott, McCloud, Hawkins, & Phillips), but the Dline could be exhausted by the start of the 4th Qtr each week.....that leads to big rushing #'s and injuries throughout the team.

The least cooked  
D HOS : 4/29/2024 3:16 pm : link
DE, CB, OL.

Don’t forget they signed Jordan Phillips, who will most likely start along side Dex.
I'd like Campbell plus a DB (hyde and witherspoon seem like best fits)  
Eric on Li : 4/29/2024 3:37 pm : link
gilmore, howard, or simmons would be great but im guessing they want too much money or to go to a contender.

also LOL at 'play the kids'. if the kids are good they will play. not having snaps is rarely the issue over a full nfl season. you sign depth so that way half way through the year you arent signing guys off the street to start.
Campbell or Guy.  
BigBlueNH : 4/29/2024 4:48 pm : link
I am worried about our IDL group, outside of Dex.
OL  
Howyadoin : 4/29/2024 4:49 pm : link
Always nice to have for the depth charts
The best OT for the right price, to play swing tackle  
j_Booker : 4/29/2024 5:00 pm : link
Because we will be in big trouble, again, if Andrew Thomas is injured or nicked, and Neal continues to fail.
Not too reassured by the group of FA journeyman OL guys that Schoen signed already.
I'd love to see Calais Campbell and Dexter Lawrence together  
GiantSteps : 4/29/2024 6:05 pm : link
Are any OL guys worth it?
Some big OL names on there  
PatersonPlank : 4/29/2024 6:16 pm : link
depends on how much $$ they want, but certainly a few of those guys could help

It appears that Bowen favors a 4-man front.
Stephon Gilmore  
redbeard : 4/29/2024 7:50 pm : link
On a one year deal or Yannik as edge depth
Give me a cb #2  
rasbutant : 4/29/2024 8:25 pm : link
Edge #4
Penetrating DT, or exception for C Campbell who I’ve always wanted.
Backup ILB
Swing OT
I’d also bring Breida back for training camp.

There are some really good names but don’t know if they are healthy and what the cost is. At this point I only want vet min. with the exception being OT I’d spend money there. But would that player come here knowing that Neal will have a long leash.
OT David Bakhtiari  
rasbutant : 4/29/2024 8:32 pm : link
Is he healthy? Would he come here without being starter? How much is he looking for?

If he is healthy, willing to sit the beginning of the year (make sure he is fully healthy / give Neal time to show his worth) and if he would sign for less then 10m, I would sign him and let him sit on the bench and be insurance against injury and failure. Your backup OT is basically a starter, at some point they will be starting for you because someone got hurt. Just like I don’t mind have a 5-10 mil backup qb, I don’t mind a 5-10 million back up OT either.
Def Calais Campbell  
RomanWH : 4/29/2024 9:19 pm : link
The young guys will still get reps as they rotate in and keep both Dex and CC fresh. Maybe him plus a vet OLineman.

Would want any of them who understand their role as versatile backup or starter(depending on position) with a nod towards helping to develop the younger guys on the roster.
For what it's worth  
RomanWH : 4/29/2024 9:21 pm : link
You need some savvy veterans on the team. Guys who know how to compete and win and lead and teach. Guys like Sam Madison and RW McQuarters.
