Miami made out like a bandit.

My God you people have really missed football! LOL.

TRAITOR! Davis Webb is jealous.

"Flott in the slot" should be a "thing".

So because he didn't sign the tag, and is now under contract, can he be tagged two more times or does the fact he got tagged still count as his first tag?

The Giants should be renamed to the Southern NY Bills.

That's still not as bad as drafting Priest Holmes 4th overall when he was on IR. Or taking Neil Rackers in the 3rd round.

1 hour to go, right? I'm om west coast time.

A deadline's bearing down on Saquon Barkley and the New York Giants, but the Big Blue back isn't looking to reset the market. Following reports Wednesday that Barkley was looking to be paid commensurate with San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, who earns a league-high $16.01 million per season, Barkley replied to a tweet with two caps -- signifying a lie. NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo reported on Wednesday's NFL Total Access that Barkley, who had the franchise tag applied to him in March, understands the running back marketplace and is not looking for a market-setting deal. Garafolo added, however, that Barkley and the Giants are no closer on a deal and had not spoken in the days leading up to this week. All franchise-tagged players and their clubs have until 4 p.m. ET on Monday to work out a long-term pact. If the parties cannot reach a deal, Barkley, who has yet to sign his franchise tender, will have to decide if he plays 2023 on the tag, making $10.1 million, or he sits out. Barkley won't be subject to fines for sitting out training camp because he's not signed. Garafolo underscored that Giants quarterback Daniel Jones's contract extension came together quickly on March 7 with the club facing the deadline to tag players. Thus, it won't be time to panic until Monday afternoon. Barkley and the Giants recommencing talks on June 20 was a constructive development in the aftermath of Barkley speaking out about “untruthful” and “misleading” reports of ongoing contract negotiations. Taken No. 2 overall in the 2018 NFL Draft, Barkley took Gotham by storm with an Associated Press NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year campaign. The dynamic dual threat was ravaged by injuries thereafter, though. In 2022, Barkley finally rebounded with a sterling 1,300-yard, 10-touchdown showing that ushered him to his second Pro Bowl. Regardless of whether Barkley was looking for CMC money, he's looking for a big pay pump in an awful RB market. Currently, Barkley, the Dallas Cowboys' Tony Pollard and the Las Vegas Raiders' Josh Jacobs are staring at Monday's deadline, looking for extensions after they were tagged. However, if they were to play on the $10.1 million tag, they'd each be set to make the seventh-highest RB annual salary in 2023. In the coming days, things should heat up, but for now, the stalemate continues as the deadline draws closer. https://www.nfl.com/news/saquon-barkley-not-seeking-market-setting-contract-from-giants

I get that RB's take more abuse and all the points made that go along with that, but my point was it's guaranteed money. The tag is $10 million this year and if they do it again next year that'll probably go up to, say $12 -$14 million maybe? That's $24 million fully guaranteed no bullshit attached. The top free agents this year were far below that. Average free agent is like $6 and I guarantee, Cook isn't going to get $24 million fully guaranteed. Neither is Hopkins while we're at it. If we're being honest here, I'm not sold on either Barkley or Jones. Last season was great, but it's ONE season. Between injuries and poor talent around them neither of them has set the world on fire deserving of huge contracts. I'm seriously hoping we don't see the McAdoo effect come Daboll's sophomore year and watch $160 million go down the tubes. Personally I would have gone after Carr, grabbed a developmental QB in the draft and made a play for Hopkins and/or Cook. Maybe both. But whatever, this is what we have and I'm hoping we build on last year, proving I'm just a dumbass fan who knows absolutely nothing about this shit. Mostly I made the Cousins analogy because I wanted to use the "he's using $100 bills for kindling" line.

Dude should take a page from Cousins. He played on, what, 2 tags in Washington? It's guaranteed money, all of it. Then he goes and gets an $86 million fully guaranteed contract? He's using $100 bills for kindling in Minny.

I don't think they're saying we're dumb for being Giants fans. They're saying we're just dumb.

Sounds like holiday, but remove the 'h' and replace with a capital letter that sounds like "Gee". No?

$14 million for Barkley??? Sorry, love the guy, hate those numbers. Especially since: Making matters worse, the running back market as a whole is incredibly deflated. Dallas cut Ezekiel Elliott to rid itself of his bloated contract and franchise tagged Tony Pollard, preventing the latter from cashing in. Las Vegas did the same with Josh Jacobs, tagging him for the 2023 season. Count the Giants' Saquon Barkley in this group, too. The top free-agent contracts handed to running backs this offseason didn't even crack $7 million per year. Miles Sanders signed a four-year, $25.4 million deal to join the Panthers, while David Montgomery inked a three-year, $18 million contract with the Lions. The rest were worth $4 million per year or less. https://www.nfl.com/news/chargers-austin-ekeler-on-rb-market-franchise-tags-it-s-tough-for-me-to-accept#:~:text=Making matters worse,group%2C too. He's good, he's a fan favorite, but he's not worth $14 million in comparison to the market. Besides, we could get Dalvin Cook for less than that, and he'll play with a chip on his shoulder.

If for nothing else, bring him in to jumpstart Barkley into signing the tender/deal. Nobody likes to see anyone else snooping around their backyard.

Barkley hasn't signed the tender and could sit out the season. https://www.nfl.com/news/frustrated-giants-rb-saquon-barkley-doesn-t-rule-out-sitting-out-for-2023-season Oddly enough, Dalvin Cook is available. Hmmm.

What did they say in the Godfather? "Leave the gun, take the Cannoli".

And now Dalvin Cook both on the market. Watch Philthy pick both of them up.

Thursday's OTA's canceled due to smoke. https://www.nfl.com/news/giants-cancel-ota-session-due-to-air-quality-concerns

This would work too

Tempting, but then I remember the Golladay experiment.

12-5

Nope. It won't last long.

My family better get me tickets to the Raiders game for Xmas. It would be my first game ever.

One of two things is going to happen: Rodgers gets them off to a blazing 8 win start and everyone is like "Hell yeah....RODGERS", but they finish 8-9. -or- They start off 0-9 and everyone is like "FUCK RODGERS", but they finish 8-9. Either way, Rodgers or not, this is the Jets we're talking about (COUGH...Favre...COUGH).
