Well written post
Couple of thoughts:
Greisen and Allen will want big money, but I honestly think it's not going to be out there for them. Greisen may want starter money but in all honesty what team is going to pay him the money he wants considering he's never been a full time starter, he's had several injuries and I think the biggest red flag here was the number of stingers he got last will concern some teams. He's not particularly fast or great in coverage. I honestly think before all is said and done, he'll be a Giant next season.
Can't say the same for Allen, if the Giants can put the franchise tag on him I say do it. In fact it might be doing him a favor, because if Clements doesn't get franchised and Ronde does get released which from I heard is possible, then his value will go down because no matter how " better" he played this year, Allen is clearly an average corner at best. It's going to get worse for him if the Jets release Ty Law which is supposed to happen.
The Giants should be begging Feagles to come back one more year, simple as that. If you ever needed a lesson in how valuable he is, watch Tom Rouen's display in the superbowl. There's ahuge difference starting from the 10 and the 20.
I keep hearing about improving team speed. Fine, but keep in mind how the Eagles a few years back wanted to improve speed in the linebacker core and then watched Carolina running backs drag Mark Simoneau et al, into the endzone in the NLCS. We drafted Tim Carter for speed and watched him on the IR for the best part of 4 years. I'd take players with better positional sense than speed anyday.
I'd offer Brent Alexander a job as Charles Ways assistant. I'd then sign a flagpole to replace him as chances are it'll be better in coverage.
Sign Kendrick Clancy, he's Keith hamilton lite, but I think if this guy sees that a team appreciates him, he'll be even better than last year. I think it's a wise investment into a guy who's entering his prime years.
The Giants need an experienced 3rd wideout. As crazy as it sounds I keep thinking "Ike Hilliard". Stay to fuck away from Antonio Bryant, that boy is a huge problem.
The Giants need to start up a cheerleader squad and they can sign these ladies first!
Oh and yes, as the Fab 4 suggested " release Eli and sign Big Ben, you know because 2 seasons is a career"
You may slice and dice this as you wish.
