BlueInCanada Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 What would the franchise tag hit be? Like 12+ anyway? This year the tag for a WR is 14 million. With the contracts that Diggs just signed and Bryant will sign expect it to be upwards of 16+ million when OBJ is looking for a new contract.

Treehugger Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 So there's no advantage to tagging him anyway. It's only there for owners to hold onto hostile players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herc Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I had no idea they hadnt even been talking yet. I guess they were waiting to see him in camp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman329 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I had no idea they hadnt even been talking yet. I guess they were waiting to see him in camp? Absolutely. They wanted to see him in camp, not only fully healthy but also fully committed to football and the New York Giants. From reports, he's checked all the boxes.

BlueInCanada Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 OBJ has been nothing but class and a professional this off season and people still have the nerve to call him immature on BBI lol Best WR the Giants will ever see and people still think we should let him walk.

I agree. He has maintained stoic silence without running his mouth off on anything. Even when probed about Norman multiple times he has only said generic stuff like looking forward to competing against a terrific player twice a year etc etc. But for some reason people still are almost itching for him to fuck up - almost hoping for it. Dont get it - I guess it goes with being that much of a highlight reel specialist. He has been nothing but class - including when people went mental over some video and it all fucking died down as it should. Hope they get the contract thing done soon.

Lughead Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 The problem is the cap... I don't think the Giants are being dicks... Eli is taking a huge chunks then you have stars like Collins, Engram, OBJ, and Barkley... it's a massive balancing act and I don't know how the Giants will afford all of these guys... granted other teams somehow find a way but still. This is Gettlemans first year so most of that was none of his doing. Give him time to weed the garden . Although I still do not know why Herzlich is still there.

MikeGL Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Is there any way that Eli could take a pay cut? I hate how he's regressing and he's getting paid good money that could be moved elsewhere to the younger guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they can restructure all the bonuses in a contract so it might not be worth as much if he plays a full 16 games, etc, but I think they cant take a pay cut to guaranteed money, at most they can just push it off to another year.

The only obstacle to anything here is Eli objecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true, the team could come out with a contract stating "If Eli doesnt complete a full 16 game season, he loses his guaranteed money for the year" Eli rejects and it's "HURR DEE DURR DEE ELI AINT NO TEAM PLAYER" Same people who think the reason Joey Bosa was having contract problems was him simply not accepting lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Eli isn't the money problem on the roster. Odell is most likely not to get a contract until next year, it is just how the Giants operate with everyone not named Eli Manning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying the team has all the power in terms of what the contract is, and they usually never start high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_NYG Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Eli has restructured in the past multiple times to accomodate other players. No reason to think why he wouldnt do that this time - OBJ is his prime blanket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Unless you're talking about cutting Eli's compensation, there's no reason from Eli's end of things that they couldn't renegotiate. He has over $10 million in salary this season to play with. The bigger question is, would the Giants go in for that? A move to reduce 2018 cap just pushes that hit off in to future years, and with Eli getting up there in years do we really want to lock in on him beyond 2019?
