    That’s also a guy who’s been way more productive than Jones.    Jones will get more but should he?

    No, he should not.

    Actually, with years of fumble-itis under his belt, he should thank his lucky stars there's even contract talks taking place. I'm all for a team friendly DJ coming back under Daboll, but if he's going to be a greedy little bitch after ONE good (not great, good) season, show him the door. Go get Jimmy G.

    Anybody else thinking maybe we just cut bait? I like Jones as a player but he's out of his fucking mind if he thinks he's worth 48 million per season.

    I said it here:

    and here:

    People think I'm nuts (except for BiC who thinks I'm a genius :wub:) but take 2022 for what it was and move on. Schoen and Daboll were hamstrung with Jones, move on and build your own team. Daboll is either a QB whisperer or the next McAdoo. Only one way to find out. 

  3. With Daniel Jones' agents expected to leave the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine with no contract resolution in sight, the New York Giants are planning on retaining the fifth-year quarterback for at least the 2023 season.

    NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Sunday that if a long-term deal cannot be reached by Tuesday's deadline, the Giants plan to use the franchise tag on Jones.

    Under the tag, Jones would be due $32.416 million in 2023.

    Jones enjoyed a breakout season in a contract year during 2022, generating career-highs in completions (317), passing yards (3,205), passer rating (92.5), rushing yards (708) and rushing touchdowns (seven). Jones also produced a career-low in interceptions (five) and fumbles (six) in 2022, marks that initially plagued the former first-round pick through his first three seasons.

    Along with star running back Saquon Barkley returning to form in 2022, Jones helped lead New York to both its first winning record (9-7-1) and playoff appearance since 2016.

    It was a timely season for Jones, who's fifth-year option was declined by the Giants ahead of the 2022 season. The breakout campaign no doubt raised the asking price for the 25-year-old, which figures to be a big reason why negotiations between the two sides reportedly hit a slight hiccup over the weekend.

    Giants general manager Joe Schoen entered combine week hoping to avoid using the tag on either Jones or Barkley, but the reported divide with his QB on a suitable salary may necessitate that come March 7.

     

    How that effects negotiations with Barkley remain to be seen. While there is still time to avoid the tag, the Giants will be at least maintaining their offseason prerogative of keeping their starting QB and RB in 2023.

  4. Seriously, let them both go and start the rebuild fresh with players Schoen and Daboll want. 2022 was an anomaly. Or good coaching. And if it's good coaching, Daboll will have another coach of the year under his belt. DJ had 1 good season out of 5, 26 was busted up most of the time over that period. Let's all be honest, getting to the playoffs after all the years of losing was fantastic, but if you look deep inside, it was a fluke. We went 1-4-1 in the division beating only the lowly 'Skins. Every other win was a nail biter against other lowly teams except for the wild card game against Minny. Had they played like that all year I'd be willing to bet there are no conversations as to who stays and who goes. Thanks for the wins boys, but we're moving on. Keep as much cap space as possible, get as much draft capital as you can and build your own team Mr. Schoen.

     

    Arch Manning in '25. Don't fuck that up along the way please.

    Round 3, pick 100: ED Nick Herbig

    As an undersized pass rusher, I think Herbig’s role in the defense would be as an A-gap rusher and situational edge guy year one.  Eventually I’d love to see him transition possibly to the MLB spot full time, or be used as a movable piece all over the line.  Not quite as high on his as I was on Leo Chenal from last year, but I think he’s a guy who can come in and contribute in spot duty year one, with plus upside moving forward.  Oh yeah, he’s pretty decent in coverage too. 

     

     

    Herbig? Herbig what? Herbig Ass? Herbig Tits? Herbig Mouth?

    Not to mention dude's got ED.

    Congratulations, Rik.   Would you consider that the norm though?

    No, but I was answering a specific quote that asked when was the last time any of us got what we wanted from our employers. And that's all I was doing. Not being argumentative, or being a smartass, just answering a question. Same here, no I don't think it's the norm, but I bet it happens more than you think.

    It's a business decision on his part.    Aim high then meet somewhere in the middle.   When was the last time anyone of us asked his employer for X and got exactly what he/she asked for?

    November 2022. Got everything and more.
