Mr. P Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 EAST RUTHERFORD ‐ The Giants are adding a defensive tackle familiar with their system. They're re-signing Kenrick Ellis, who was a surprising cut this summer, according to multiple individuals with knowledge of the situation. The individuals requested anonymity because the move was not yet announced. The Giants signed Ellis as a free agent this offseason. He received a one-year, $1.15 million deal with $500K guaranteed. Ellis had spent the previous four years with the Jets, but was unable to beat out Markus Kuhn and Jay Bromley for a roster spot this summer. Ellis, 27, joins the team two days before a Thursday night matchup with the Washington Redskins. Defensive tackles Cullen Jenkins (hamstring), Jay Bromley (knee) and Kuhn (knee) were on the Giants injury report on Monday. http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2015/09/giants_to_re-sign_defensive_tackle_kenrick_ellis_p.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmenroc Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I'm also hearing that Ellis is a better WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedinBlue Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Parker cost us 2 games. I do not feel bad. Getting Ellis back is a positive thing. The O-line is very shallow right now. Kinda expecting a move to at least get one more linemen on the team. Haven't heard if Flowers will be ready for Thursday night or not. Sure hope so.

Tempest Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Tough break for Parker, honestly we have seen more fuckups from Randle in four seasons than Parker in two. Hopefully Giants will not re-sign Parker down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 They kind of have pie on their face...telling Jones that you're going with "our guys" over him when "our guys," suck donkey dick. Jones has 3 tds in 2 games and was a butt close to a 4th. Glad he's cut, get Davis on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 They kind of have pie on their face...telling Jones that you're going with "our guys" over him when "our guys," suck donkey dick. Jones has 3 tds in 2 games and was a butt close to a 4th. Glad he's cut, get Davis on the field. No one told Jones anything, he left because he told the Giant's he didnt want to play behind OBJ/Cruz/Randle. Not to mention I'm sure his agent was salivating at the idea of Nelson going down and Jones going back to be one of the main guys (i.e. a big pay day) in Green Bay.

BlueInCanada Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Whoever posted the article needs to post it again because I'm fairly sure that is exactly what Jones said. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000533301/article/james-jones-brief-stint-with-giants-helped-me But Jones was thankful for his brief stint in New York. He saw it as the perfect tune up -- with the same playbook -- before rejoiningAaron Rodgers. "I truly believe the Lord sent me to the Giants for a reason because it wasn't to make the team, it was to polish off all my skills," Jones told The MMQB. "I was on my couch for a minute, and then I was able to go to the Giants, where the playbook is almost identical because Ben McAdoo was with the Packers for so long, and he took that offense over there. I was able to polish off all the rust, play in some games and able to get in football shape. So when I came here, it was all second nature. There were a couple new plays that Aaron had put in and a couple new signals, but we talked about that and were able to get on the same page with that." Jones went on to say that he told Tom Coughlin he wasn't going to accept a bit role in the offense, especially if that meant Jones not being active every week.

BlueInCanada Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Did no one tell him or have the foresight to realize Cruz isn't coming back any time soon? Like I said I'm sure the moment that Nelson went down, Jone's agent was on the phone with the Packers as much as he could be. I wouldn't be surprised if they told Coughlin and Co to fuck off and release him because he knew he would be getting more playtime in Green Bay, which equates to the bigger pay day down the road, not to mention the better possibility of a playoff run.

ppodlesny Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 But who will drop passes now? It was the only aspect of the game we were good at. Now we won't even be good at that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA4M Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Parker had the drops, but please blame on the right player. Eli and his bonehead mistakes cost us both those games way more that Parker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeGL Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Do we have options now??? I'm quite worried right now at the WR spot, not as worried with Parker but still we need some depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA4M Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Yeah, depth isn't the issue...it's the quality of the depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 It sounds like it was a bit of each. And honestly, who wouldn't want to go with Ruben Randle and a one-footed Victor Cruz over a guy that has 3 TDs already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And honestly, who wouldn't want to go with Ruben Randle and a one-footed Victor Cruz over a guy that has 3 TDs already? I honestly don't see why Jones would want to stay in NY when he knew GB is welcoming him back with open arms. Like it said in both articles Jones basically asked to be let go.

Like it said in both articles Jones basically asked to be let go. Yeah, but it does say he thought they were going with those three guys and after Coughlin confirmed it, he asked to be let go. It's not like he just strolled into the office and asked for it; Coughlin said the highest he'd be is #4 on the depth chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
