BleedinBlue Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 "DE Justin Tuck is prepped to test the free agency market for the first time in his career. He will not re-sign with the Giants before he is set to become a free agent and he will test out the waters, but he wont rule out signing back with the team. I will see what the market is for me, Tuck said during a Super Bowl promotional appearance. Ive never been in this situation before, and its a great opportunity for myself. I would be doing myself a disservice if I didnt see what the market is, and I will".

MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 coming off a solid year(at least against the redskins), he'd be stupid not to. I love Tuck, but business is business..get paid while you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanishGiant Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 hate to see him sigh with another team but i can still understand him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Let's see, since he's been here, how many DEs have been drafted after him? I'm sure the 'you can never have enough pass rushers' sounds great to fans and talking heads, but what about the guy who's held down the fort, and held his own, through it all. I think the Giants and Tuck have probably talked already and come to a figure that Tuck, might try to beat by going elsewhere. If it were high enough, I'm guessing Tuck would've signed, but the Giants probably came in lower than Tuck expected. He may still field offers and take them back to the Giants and essentially make himself a voluntary RFA as opposed to an UFA, but who knows. I still think the Giants should retain EITHER Kiwi or Tuck AND Joseph on the D-Line. Because of what Joseph is likely to demand, Kiwi might be the one to sign. Kiwi, JPP, and Moore on the ends is fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bart Hubbuch @HubbuchNYP 7h Tuck also told me the Giants asked to meet with him in early February to discuss his future but that he intends to hit the FA market anyway. and kiwanuka is under contract for another 2 years.

Nas Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I have no faith in Reese to retain Tuck, nor draft an adequate replacement. It's a business and there's always salary cap... If you look at Tuck v2013 he was good... The 2 years before that not so much ... You make a fair offer and let the chops fall where they may.

*SDMF* Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 This is bullshit. The guys is a multi-millionaire and thats not even counting his Subway deal. How about a little loyalty to the team that believed in you first. Im a lil upset in case you couldnt fucking tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringe Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 They're not going to win a championship with him. I don't mean because of him, I think they are a couple of years off. He could be an important piece of a team on the rise. Like the Cardinals or the Chiefs. Giants need youth and speed on D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boohyah Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 My favorite Giant, but I think he moves on. That's fine, truth is he's probably worth a 2 year deal somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYG Hampton 27 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 My favorite Giant too. I hope he stays, but I'd root for him on another non-NFCE team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herc Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 that's cool with me. if we're not going to be good next year (i think it'll take at least two years to rebuild the line) then we shouldn't be allocating cap space to older veterans like him anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronxRik Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I always thought Tuck was going to be the next Strahan, leadership-wise. I never realized just how big Strah's personality was until there was no one to fill that void. Tuck's been good for us except after his neck injury, he wasn't quite the same. I'll miss him if he goes, I hate when long time Giants leave. Hell, I didn't like Warner leaving at first (God I wish I knew which one of you fuckers was "WarnerIsGod" aka WIG). Sentimentals aside, good luck to him whatever happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmenroc Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Wishful thinking maybe? Not really. Think Kiwi is the Diehl of the defense...not elite at either DE or LB, but certainly serviceable at both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Well Tuck is going to see some decent offers thrown his way. With Justin Tuck and Linval Joseph looking forward to free agency, we're going to see a very different defensive line next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nas Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 JPP - Hankins - Moore Kiwi rotates in. Who else? We still have the vets we got fro the Eagles.. at least they can be resigned... both were pretty good in 2013... and I have to believe the Giants will draft a DE at some point... AND try to retain Tuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Justin Tuck and Linval Joseph looking forward to free agency, we're going to see a very different defensive line next season. I love the guy too, but I think moving forward signing Joseph is a much bigger priority than Tuck. Unless it's a very cap-friendly deal I can't see us spending much on him; we simply can't bank on a full, productive season out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Like I said, he would be foolish not to test the market..and he will most likely get an offer the giants wont be willing to match. like others have said, this team is rebuilding, no need to sign pricey veterens..even our own. Besides, I really want to see what DaMonster can do..even if he doesnt play end..Tuck leaving will surely open up some playing time for the youngster.

MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Signing a veteran center is the biggest priority in free agency imho. Yeah, but who is available and not too old?..Alex Mack? I wouldnt mind getting him...but he is probably going to be expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
