Sephiroth Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 https://www.google.com/amp/www.bigblueview.com/platform/amp/2017/3/13/14913094/nfl-free-agency-news-rumors-signings-john-jerry-new-york-giants Not terrible I guess. He's really a backup but considering how broke we are this offseason, I suppose this is as good as we'll get. At least Fluker looks to play RT where he graded out slightly higher than Guard. I sure hope we can either get Clady from the Jets on a cap friendly deal or Flowers makes a huge leap in year 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osi724dasack Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Agreed, im happy he's back and I also FULLY agree on Clady. Clady is likely shot, but definitely worth trying to get a full year out of him at LT with the big boys on the right side and Jerry as backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osi724dasack Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 He would be cheap as well I assume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Could do worse. The situation at right tackle did him no favors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 2 requests now: 1. He never starts 2. Hart is moved to RG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I'm thinking they did this because they need a guy for when Pugh signs elsewhere after this season and obv Fluker will be one and done with the Giants as well. At least they'll have one OG under contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they'll have one OG under contract. Man, I hope that's not true. I think Pugh is slightly overrated but I love his versatility and how he just keeps his mouth shut and plays wherever. I'd hate to see him go somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a Seubert/Diehl reincarnation and I hope he's a career long Giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 It would be nice but I doubt they pay him if he wants somewhere near the highest paid OG money. Dion Dawkins in the third round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 We're going to have so many issues signing our best players the next few years. Not more than ten by my count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boohyah Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Not more than ten by my count. Pugh Beckham Collins Richburg Apple Sheppard Flowers Bromley I see 8, but it's the likes of Beckham I'm talking about because I think we'll be paying him money we've never come close to before.

mastershake Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 We should be able to sign most of them. Our current total cap allocations for 2018 for instance are only 115 million. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-york-giants/ This year's salary cap is 168 million. So let's say next years rises to 175 million, that means we have 60 million in cap space, excluding any cuts. So who hits the cap in 2018. Gotta figure that their cap figures might be: - Beckham - 16 million - Pugh - 8 million - Richburg - 6 million (he's not that good) - Bromley - I'd just as soon not re-sign him. He's also not that good. So we're maybe looking at a 2018 cap hit of ~30mm to bring these guys back, meaning we'd have 30mm left. That's without JPP though.

Yeah Odell Beckham Jr's next contract is going to be interesting. Could probably use the contract Victor Cruz signed as a template. Everyone else on that list will not be an issue.
