Key

UFA: Unrestricted Free Agent; a player who has completed four or more accrued seasons and whose contract has expired.

RFA: Restricted Free Agent; a player who has completed three accrued seasons and whose contract has expired.

Released: A player released by his team with years remaining on his contract.

Grade: Insider and Scouts Inc have come up with a rating system for the best Free Agents on the market. Grades are from 0-100.

 

90-100: Elite Player

Player demonstrates rare abilities and can create mismatches that have an obvious impact on the game. ... Premier NFL player with all the skills to consistently play at a championship level... Rates in the top 5 at his position in the league.

 

80-89: Outstanding Player

Player has abilities to create mismatches against most opponents in the NFL. ... A feature player who has an impact on the outcome of the game. ... Cannot be shut down by a single player and plays on a consistent level week in and week out. ... Rates at the top 10 at his position in the league.

 

75-79: Solid Starter

Solid starter who is close to being an elite player. ... No glaring weaknesses and will usually win his individual match-up, but does not dominate in every game, especially when matched against the top players in the league. ... Will usually rate in the top 20 players at his position in the league.

 

70-74: Good Starter

Good starter who is usually a consistent player with excellent competitiveness and is the heart of the team, but is not a dominant player against the better players he faces on a weekly basis. ... Gives you great effort, and you are glad he is on your team, but he may or may not go to the next level.

 

65-69: Adequate Starter

This player is an adequate starter who will give a solid effort week in and week out, but he is overmatched against the better players in the league. ... His weaknesses will be exposed, and he will not survive most man-to-man matchups. ... He is a player you like having on your team, but he is never going to be a star, and you could live with him. ... He defines the term "blue collar."

 

60-64: Good Backup

This is a player who is really on the bubble and only starts because of a team's deficiency at the position. ... He lacks complete overall skills, and although he will battle, he will hinder his team's ability to play at a championship level if forced to be in the starting lineup consistently over a 16-game season. ... This player needs to be a solid contributor in the kicking game or show great versatility at his position to keep his roster spot. ... He is a player you don't mind having on your team, but you are always looking to upgrade.

 

55-59: Adequate Backup

This is strictly a backup player who is not capable of starting. ... If forced to start, he is only a short-term fix. ... He may make the team because of special teams contributions or experience. ... He is a player you are always looking to upgrade, and you must be aware of alerts in this category, such as age, injury, etc.

 

50-54: Marginal Backup

This player is hanging on by a thread and is only on your team because there is nobody else to take his place. ... He has significant weaknesses in his game. ... He is not close to being a starter, and he is only an adequate contributor on special teams. ... This is a player you want to replace as quickly as possible.

 

45-49: Poor Player

Emergency fill-in player who may or may not know the system and has little value other than level of his experience. ... Likely to be a weekly emergency-type player who fills in because of injuries. ... Not a long-term solution, and not a player you want to keep around any longer than necessary.

 

30: Developmental Player, 2005 Draft Choice, High-rated Rookie Free Agent

Player 25 years or younger with little or no video tape available to evaluate him. ... Needs to be tracked because of his developmental potential.No professional football experience to evaluate. ... Will have a report based on projection from college. Entering professional football for the first time. ... No prior professional football experience, unable to evaluate.

 

 

 

I was surprised with a few of the grades, your thoughts?

I would really like to see us go after Deshea Townsend or Brian Williams. They are older vets that can hold the fort down while we groom Webster or another rooke to take over for them. At LB, we don't have to go too wild and grab up some over priced veteran. We could look at Keith Adams, Ben Leber, or David Thornton to come in and compete at WILL if we don't want to use a first rounder at that position. The Secondary could also use another saftey, but we could find a good saftey in the draft, or bring in a cheap vet(maybe Schulters, Dexter Jackson or Derrick Gibson) to compete with Butler. Hope would be nice, but will probably get overpaid to go somewhere else...

 

We probably won't make that big a killing in free agency this year...maybe 3 or 4 quality players, no reason to go too wild. The Giants don't need to go out and make a splash like last year, just bring in a few solid players and build through the draft...

Yeah, that's usually how it works, but at least we can't say we didn't give him a chance. He just couldn't stay on the field and when he was on the field he was average... which isn't to say he was bad, but he wasn't that "Oh shit it's third down watch out for that guy" player.

Yeah, that's usually how it works, but at least we can't say we didn't give him a chance. He just couldn't stay on the field and when he was on the field he was average... which isn't to say he was bad, but he wasn't that "Oh shit it's third down watch out for that guy" player.

 

Carter only had 10 catches, but 9 out of 10 of those catches went for first downs. Plus, hasn't anyone noticed that Carter is the only player we've had success running the end-around with? He may have dropped a couple of balls last year, but who hasn't?

 

And granted, his first 3 years in the league, he had trouble staying on the field, but last year, he played in 15 games before taking a vicious hit from Ryan Clark against Washington, which pretty much ended his season. The point is, even though his statistics don't show it, his speed is a valuable commodity to this offense.

How? If you can't catch the ball, it doesn't matter. Carter is not great shakes. I wouldn't mind seeing him go somewhere else.

 

Because when Carter is on the field, safeties have to play back and cannot cheat against the run ... they have to respect his speed. Gives Shockey more room to operate over the middle...

Sometimes, Plax and Shockey can't catch the ball either, and they're starting.

 

You asked how, and I thought I gave a good explanation. He might come pretty cheap, and if we can sign him to a 1 year deal, it could be beneficial to Carter and the Giants. Plenty of motivation for Carter, and the Giants bringing him back to compete either for a starting spot, or the #3 spot, would be a motivating factor for our WR's.

IMO if something better than Carter can be had than so be it. His hands are poor, but at least he stayed on the field this year.

I find it funny those FA rankings. They have Tyree as a 59. IMO Tyree is as important to the Giants as any second tier player on the roster.

I'll take Carter back but I hope he doesn't play hard to get and keep asking for more money which he really hasn't shown that he deserves. I'll welcome him back but I think we can do better at third WR spot. Possibly get a possession WR in FA and then use Carter to spread the field.

You have to take Scouts Inc. analysis with a grain of salt. Sometimes they are accurate, other times it seems as if players weren't even evaluated.

Funny someone mentions a Shockey drop, although they decreased greatly in 05, I was watching NFL Network replay of the Giants/Hawks game yesterday and Shockey played great. There was one crucial drop though that might have put the game away or at the very least given taken the Hawks out of the running game. After Brent Alexanders INT at the Hawks 25, Shockey dropped a crucial 3rd down pass inside the 5 and the Giants had to settle for a FG, extending their lead to 13-7. On the next drive the Hawks scored and made the score 14-13. I wonder had the Giants been up 17-7 if the game would have taken on a different role?

Too late to decide that now. I was looking back at the season and I think Shockey's turning point for the most part with his drops was against the Broncos, the one that setup our big TD pass to Toomer. That right there was a clutch catch, one that seemed to always get away from Shockey.

That game was odd because the TD the refs gave Shockey in the first half I thought for sure was an incompletion. But near the end of the game, the catch Shockey made that was reviewed and ended up being an incomplete pass(I believe it was in overtime), should have been a catch IMO. But that's the way it goes.

 

I think people really got on Tim Carter after, I think it was the Dallas home game. Eli threw one way down the field for Carter, and he just missed making a spectacular grab. And because he couldn't pull it off, I think many Giant fans put him deeper in their dog house because of it.

he better catch that pass he was wide open from what I remember. I think he played well, but his head got out of the game still too often at times and I think they will decrease as he ages. IMO the TD catch at home against the Eagles(on a day they did everything they could do to take him out of the game)was the point I felt he had turned a corner. He had 1 catch all day and it was a huge one and helped his team win despite the lack of production.

Yes that was the Dallas game and their was nothing spectacular about it, the ball hit him square in the numbers and he dropped it. The Giants tried to go to him often that day and he dropped3

Yeah, he couldn't have gotten more open. It is obvious that he is maturing properly, just a little later then we wanted him too but still is.

 

Even though that was a first down, the TD against the Eagles, I see where you are coming from there. Also, the two point conversion catch against the Seahawks was clutch too.

I think he dropped 2, but he also caught 2 for 48 yards. We also wouldn't have scored without 2 of those receptions. And that long ball didn't hit right in the numbers, he dove for it, almost making a spectacular catch, and couldn't come up with it. That's the way it goes.

dude I was there live, he did not dive he dropped a catchable ball right in his bread basket. He also dropped a ball put right on his hands in the flat on a 3rd and 4 with about 25 yards of room in front of him. That pass he dropped was a play designed for him, Aaron Glenn has just come into the game and the Giants tried to take advantage of Carters speed, he got behind Glenn, the ball was thrown so only Carter could get it and falling down he dropped the pass, it hit him in the chest. Had it been off his hands maybe saying he dove for it was true, but that ball hit his numbers and initially many in attendance thought he had it.

I don't think it would hurt to sign Carter to a 1-year deal. If he gets hurt badly in camp, or if he simply gets outplayed, then he's gone. At worst, cheap competition with some upside.

 

I cannot see him getting big money elsewhere and his speed is one of those things you are just afraid to get rid of.
