We could always tank for Clowney like Draxal wanted!
Only concern would be injury but if you can grab him on the cheap, he's a good player.Bowser said:

On the Eagles front:
Some cap update numbers for the Giants:
Ralph says there is one more cut coming today from the Giants according to his sources (again, I'm betting it's either Diehl or Webster)

Good had really high hopes for him but he turned out to be worse than even some of the skeptics.
Really need Jason Peters to come back fully healthy. He almost immediately would improve our OLINE 10x. Would allow us some freedom to sign or draft other players.
DRose > Wade at the time Lebron signed with the Heat. Not talking about all time rankings or their place in history. Just who was is the superior talent NOW. If you were starting a new team from scratch you pick Rose over Wade anyday everyday.

Does Jackson have any speed left?
Whose better at catching?

How's Jackson in pass protection? Honestly, Bradshaw just came off ANOTHER surgery on his foot and both his ankles are shot. If you bring him in, his primary use should be in pass protection as a back up. I can't overstate his pass pro skills enough.
This guy announced:
So yeah. I don't even know who the fuck that is.:jnc
Hey now, I admitted that was a pipe dream (and we had to stockpile picks for it too)! I just really don't see the Giants performing this well this year (especially the d). They're just losing too much talent, with nothing in the wings that I see stepping up (asides from maybe Ojomo), with too many holes to fill in the draft/fa
edit. Flaherty's love affair with Diehl is pretty baffling too.

Can't get too upset. We were going against the team of destiny. No matter the Ravens sold their soul for flacco and their defense will be much worse next year.

For what it's worth, hating "the decision" got me to follow basketball again if even casually. It's crazy that some people think he'll go back to Cleveland some day. Of course when he does that team will be stacked with lottery picks anyway.
Whats the 49ers stats.

Canty is a shocker, Bradshaw not so much.
Our cap hit is going to be roughy this year, and I'm nervous about our interior DL. We needed DTs before letting Canty walk.
Rolle needs to restructure, and so does Eli or we still have problems.

I'd have no problem with Diehl staying on the roster as a back up. They need to reduce his cap number to do it though. They like his versatility in being able to play both tackle positions and kick in at guard if necessary. Also, they have NO DEPTH at OT right now except for Brewer.
I want him nowhere in the starting line up though.
Webster will likely stick if he wasn't cut today. I'm curious as to what Reese does with his contract cause his cap hit is ridiculous and I don't see the Giants paying him 9 million dollars to play corner the way he played it last season. One thing he has in his favor is that he's durable at least.
Eli has a 20 million cap hit this year. He'll get a nice portion converted to bonus again. Same for Rolle, yeah.

Marvin Austin era begins
lol lol can't believe i typed that lol lol
I don't think Eli can as he did it last year, I think Baas is a prime candidate for reconstructure.
*Somebody has to bring up that Pat Traina article about reconstruring up and especially if they were just straight paycuts or extensions.
edit. I'm not down as Webster as the rest are others are, the Giants really thin at corner, and he was playing hurt the entire last year because their other corners are made out of tissue paper.

DeOssie is now the only Class of 2007 Giant left.
What I thought was interesting last year is that the Giant's picked up a journeyman Washington Redksin o-line reject in Sean Locklear and he totally outplayed Diehl for the veteran min, shouldn't Reese be able to find another ot for the vet min?
David Diehl had a long storied career with the Giant's, and I don't think people should be bashing his entire career with the Giant's (athough I don't think he was ever great, he was good enough), but at this point he clearly doesn't have any tread on his tires left.
And Koets was one of the the versatile offensive line man that the Giants always drafted in the late rounds and not a lb iirc.
edit.
Some person on BBI is stating that Bradshaw and Canty will be resigned, I think Bradshaw definetely will (nobody else is going to offfer him) and I knew Canty has a significant community presence around the area (see Billboards plastered with his image around the stadium), so it's not out of the realm of possiblity.

Such an amazing draft, too.
1. Aaron Ross CB (held down corner for two Super Bowl teams)
2. Steve Smith WR (key player in the '07 run and holds the record for most catches by a Giants WR in one season)
3. Jay Alford DT (DAT Tom Brady Sack! I'd still consider it a miss though since he did nothing past that)
4. Zak DeOssie (starting long snapper to this day)
5. Kevin Boss (Key catch in Super Bowl 42, stepped up after Shockey went down and held down the TE position for years)
6. Adam Koets OT (the only other miss)
7. Michael Johnson S (played well during the '07 and '08 seasons when he took over a starting job....went to complete shit in '09)
7. Ahmad Bradshaw RB (from 7th rounder to starter. Key to the '07 runs and fiery presence in 2011)
I don't disagree but considering the lack of depth, I understand them holding onto him a little longer. Nothing says they won't cut him once FA starts.Draxal said:

$121.1m cap. Giants at $118.25m now.

I feel like Alford was on the verge of big things, then tore his ACL and was done.
Big moves today by Reese. I have always wondered why Canty's name didn't come up more on the list of potential cuts. He's definitely played well at times, but I feel like his play and consistency never aligned with his big salary (see also: Rolle, Antrel). Then add in his health issues and he easily becomes someone that is on the chopping block I felt like even when he came back towards the end of last season, he didn't look near 100% and who knows what his knee is like. I don't know, maybe it's just because I have been forced to look at his dumb, huge contract the last two years in our Madden league (where I ended up cutting him both times).

I'd take that. If I was offered an entire draft class that would win 2 Super Bowls and then go to shit within 5 years of being drafted, I'd take it 100% of the time. And I'm sure most would.

I'm with BIGAT, Alford was actually showing alot but he was ruined due to his ACL. The draft's long term was just ruined by injuries (Smith's injury sucked) The class was decent but in all honesty I'd take the 2010 class if we include UFAs. JPP/Joseph/Cruz is just an amazing haul.
It shouldnt be hard to find cannoli anywhere.
Yeah, dammit.
Besides, who else on the Saints (except maybe Colston and PT) is worth their paycheck?
Brees IS the Saints. We are 200% fucked without him behind center. He literally is the only hope the team has to be successful.
Seems that way. Our video board is really small compared to some of the monstrosities.
Would like to see the board upgraded to around mid-pack though. The design of the dome doesnt allow for it to get a lot larger though.
These two definitely don't go together. Ive spent upwards of 150-200$ on a single figurine before depending on rarity of the item. You cant be a poor and afford to collect figures, unless they are those little cheap gashapon ones.
I think Ive spent about....probably close to 2000$ just on figurines.
I don't care if Peters comes back or not. That is a position the Eagles should look to improve when they have a chance. I don't know if Joeckel can play the other side. They could go with...
Peters-Mathis-Kelce-Herremans-Joeckel
He probably only plays LT though.

You can include Boss in that as well. The concussion history was a big reason why they didn't offer him more.

He might be there though so who knows.Maybe the Chiefs go QB.Jags probably go defense.Who knows what the Raiders do.

Might we interest you in a gently-used Mario Williams?
I'm not sure if I'd put him in there, as his concussions weren't fluke injuries like Smith and Alford, he just took alot of abuse from the passes over the middle.
I honestly wanted to him retire in 2009, he just took the most vicious hits possible. I just consider him a short shelf life player like Bradshaw (how old is Bradshaw anyway 26? he seems like he was in the league forever).
He would be an improvement over our entire defense.

I guess we can give him and Fred Jackson up for Brees. I guess.
Never.
You can have the rest of the team for him. Not Brees.
We need Brees. He's like the only actual NFL player on our roster.
