Barkley gets a bad rap for going to division rival. Also, if he just posted a BS message like McKinney did, he likely wouldn't get as much backlash. Instead, he engages with talking head, Barber. Would it have been too hard to say, regardless of how true, "I understand this move will be tough for the die hard fans of Big Blue to accept. That said, I frankly was not offered a contract this offseason, 2 years of negotiations to lengthen my Giants tenure haven't proven fruitful, and this opportunity is beneficial both financially and gives me a chance to play on a team closer to playoff calibur than the Giants are right now. I have nothing but respect for NY and its fans. I will miss my teammates and hope they find success. I will always have a special place in my heart for the Giants given that's where I started my NFL career. Thanks NY!"

I would push DL depth up in that list...last time someone said "you can never have enough pass rushers" it worked out pretty well for us. The cat out of Penn State in the 2nd wouldn't be a bad grab if we went QB in first. Tho Rome is a tough one to pass on if avail

When he literally ran towards a guy half way across the field to hit him instead of waiting to be hit, it cemented him as one of my favorites of all time.

Could have a worse backup. One one hand, we go into season with Jones, Lock, DeVito ljkely in that order on depth chart. On other, we draft a guy and pivot out DeVito. Drafted guy sits for a year and comes in next year to unseat Jones. We can look to restructure or cut Jones...or we can resign Lock at that point if rook works out. Creates options, which I think is a huge piece of free agency.

Here's hoping someone not the Giants jumps up and takes McCarthy at 4 or 5 then.

I don't disagree. Only way I could see it is if we convinced them Jones can start for them and make him part of the trade...but that's about the longest shot ever. Gonna be interesting...especially now that Tyrod is gone.

I think I want to trade up, but not sure we can get to 3. All signs point to Williams-Maye-Daniels in top 3. McCarthy doesn't excite me. So yeah, if you can swing a trade up for Daniels or Maye, whomever is the 3rd QB...do that. If not, take Harrison Jr, Odunze, Nabors...in that order. With Tyrod gone, we almost have to draft a guy...unless there are other back QBs around

Still need to find a starting safety and maybe another interior offensive lineman here in FA and I am all in on the trade up for the QB of your choice on draft day.

2nd and 5th is what we got for LW

Yeah, I'd add Lawrence and take off JMS until further notice. So we got 5 guys...amazing.😑

Might have had more to do with how close they thought they were in negotiations with each. Guessing they thought pretty confidently they were gonna get Barkley done. Oh well. 5 more years of bullshit ahead.

Not just "he is a good piece" or a guy you think is good for a year or so ... But players who you pay to watch who can actually be heavily relied upon not to fuck it up?

Gunner O...was a nice find mid year for return duties. Hope it is vet min given he is only used for returns...same for Kreiter

There is no question Daniel Jones timing has had an impact between his being overdrafted in a year of not great options and being resigned when his contract was up when there weren't great options and he was coming off a playoff win. Giants were very much fucked into a corner.

I was referring to the taking a year to clear old (bad) contracts off the books. Seems we have to do that every year to our own detriment while teams like the chiefs can drop 158mil over 5 on Chris Jones...despite having a QB at 50mil per

Maybe the 5th year is for 52 mil and is voidable. 😜

Ain't that been the case since Schoen got here?

Singletary isn't bad. Still hope to see something from Grey, but he was sluggish as hell last year. Aside from them, who is even in the committee?

If a full on rebuild, they might as well cut Jones and eat the cap hit this year.

25m first year...front loaded deal too. Wanted to see them make him an offer, but not one this size.

He's an Eagle. To hell with him.

He's an Eagle...piss on him. Wish nothing good for him at all.

Schoen and Dabs and gonna get tied to their QB that they pick.

Valid point about injury. But you uave to account for his full salary assuming he earns it all for cap purposes. Anything he doesn't earn is part of what rolls over to the next year. So it isn't like we are getting some mid year free agent if and when Jones goes down. absent two guards and likely Barkley and uncertainty with Neal coupled with a new defense and potentially a new QB...top 5 may not be off the table at all
