NFL Free Agency Discussion Thread

I'm not worried about losing cruz at all, if it happens that'd suck, but everything I hear is that they will get something done. Maybe not a long term deal but something will get done, and the rest figured out in due time.

20-1... wow. That's actually insulting.

So nobody expects the Giants to win the Super Bowl? Well shit, print the T-Shirts already then. Why bother playing the season?

No offense taken D'Z, as you say not expecting a repeat. Next year's really up in the air in Baltimore. Mike Wallace in Miami is a nice fit on paper, but players leaving elite teams for crappy ones never works out.

That's usually when they pull off the miracle

I guess Percival Harvin is taking his talents to the Pacific northwest soon. Fucking sick, amazing pick up. I love that team.

Damn. A 1st, 7th, and a mid-rounder next year for Harvin? That's a little much because of the injury risk, but my god. Wilson to Harvin is going to be electric, the rich keep getting richer.

25th overall pick in a bad draft this year and a mid round pick is a steal IMO

Speaking of steals, it's great that NFL owners are pussies and wont take advantage of the Giants putting a 1st round tender on Cruz

Even if they did, can't the giants match the offer and retain him?

That they can.

 

[Danielson]

That they can.

If I was a rival of the giants, knowing they are tight on their budget atm. I'd offer him a decent offer. That way it forces the giants hand to make cuts on veteran players.

You are the only Giants fan I see that is so confident in retaining Cruz.

It's an unwritten NFL rule not to do that, "you don't mess with my RFA's, I won't mess with yours".

Sounds like a perfect idea for the Redskins as you say, risk a pick in the 20's to either get Cruz or fuck up the Giants cap. Doubt it'll happen, you'll probably wind up paying Cruz less than 2 mil this year.

Yup and it's unfortunate for him, look at what happened to Revis.

Anyways, just seen that Harvin traded to the hawks.

They've done this same stuff with Osi since 2007, and kept keeping him until this offseason. I just won't stress over it, because they always manage to keep their guys they want.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I'm just saying.. somebody is going to offer him a contract. I guarantee you that. He will not be playing on that RFA tender in 2013, believe me.

 

[Danielson]

Fair enough, i'm not sure how it will go down. Just positive he will be in blue.

I have faith in Jerry Reese
