Sephiroth Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Conditional pick? Honestly I kinda think he's looked better than Halapio this preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Good for Brett Jones. I really thought they would have put Jones in at some point with the first team during the preseason but it has been Halapio all the way. Better to get something for Brett Jones now then to lose him in the offseason through free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonji Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 7th Round Pick, per Rappaport. Thanks gmen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I really liked Jones as our center... I wish the team had tried him at guard before trading him. A starting caliber center for a 7th round pick is a head scratcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 He's closer to home know. It was fun to watch a Saskatchewan guy play for the Giants, I was actually contemplating ordering a Jones jersey for my visit this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Jones is going to be starting as well come regular season since the Vikes center is on the PUP list, and even then like Nas said, they can throw him in at guard too. Wonder if Shurmur had any influence on the trade or if he still has a few ears in the Vikes war room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually a little ticked off... our OL still sucks and we trade a solid player instead of putting him at RG to see what he can do... and we get a stupid 7th rounder for him? And let's not pretend that $2.9M we saved is shit compared what starting OLs are making... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And let's not pretend that $2.9M we saved is shit compared what starting OLs are making... That 2.9 is going towards the blockbuster deal that OBJ is going to be signing before season starts. He was honestly going to be cut anyways simply because of the cap, the Giants atleast got something in return. I know what you mean though the Giants basically got this guy NFL ready, and now some other team is gonna benefit from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And let's not pretend that $2.9M we saved is shit compared what starting OLs are making... It was the smart move just not a favorable one. Giants have a backlog of players capable of playing Guard/Center. Trade the only guy you can get something for now. Halapio is most likely a one year solution at center and Giants are heading back to the draft next year to find another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
