Sephiroth Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Yeah looks like a future move. We get almost no savings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazedDogs Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Now that I think about it, Julian Love was probably going to take a lot of his snaps this season. Future move, but also a play the cheaper, better player now move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmenroc Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 We actually do save from what I read...his 2022/23 salary was only guaranteed as of 3/19...cutting him now I think saves that. Or something along those lines. It creates a big chunk of dead money, but we do save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 The saving are small, less than a million. This is one of those Giants doing the right thing and giving the player a chance on the market now instead of June. Logan Ryan didn't make the impact in his second season that he had in the first one. He was another player on the roster who was making a lot more money than we can afford based on results. Lets see what Julian Love makes of this opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boohyah Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 His contract was ridiculous anyway when you think about it. He was paid like an impact player but he wasn't one. I have no issue with this at all. Not sold on Love at all. This makes me think about what Schoen said about best player on the board and Hamilton being there at 5. Could explain the offensive lineman signing also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastershake Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Do we need a safety now? Julian Love was an okay rotational guy for nickel and dime packages, but he want exactly knocking anyone's socks off. I'd say at least we need some depth now. Could they be considering drafting Kyle Hamilton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Editor’s note: Initial reports from ESPN suggested the Giants would save $6.3 million with the release of Ryan. Those reports have proven incorrect. The above in response to my previous post about what I had read. Clearly the savings are not what was originally reported.

gmenroc Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I think Hamilton is a stud, but I don't think he should be the pick. The more I look at it, the more I think this year is strictly cutting it to bare bones and starting over with essentially McKinney, Toney, Ojulari, and Thomas being the only ones worthy of long term considerations. I didn't think they'd cut that much away, but we sucked pretty hard, so none of these moves should be as questionable as we might initially think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 Ryan signing with the Bucs. Still getting paid 5.5 million by the Giants this year, so he may take a pay cut to go chase a ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herc Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 If we were a better team I’d be disappointed but he deserves better than a year 1 tear down and we don’t need savy vets just yet. He’s already on the bucs so good for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's becoming one of the best coverage safeties in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he went on to be a second round pick. I'd fall all over myself to pick Hamilton if he falls to the second round. He won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastershake Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Safeties are an enigma. You can get away with a Safety with 4.6 speed in the right scheme/team fit. It's like a running back. 4.6 isn't blowing anyone away, but that meets the basic requirements for the position in the NFL. You'd never match him up with a Tyreke Hill type or anything, but he can cover TEs, can play in the box, can play double high safety, etc. I'm not too worried about the speed. You also need to factor in the other agility/burst metrics. The 40 yard is a good measure of long speed, but there are other measures which are better indicators of quickness and explosion, such as vertical jump (38 inch is very good), broad jump (he had the 2nd best), cone/shuttles (his numbers here fine). As a frame of reference, his 20 shuttle was on par with Kadarius Toney, Kyle Pitts, Erik Stokes, from last years draft. I'm not worried about his numbers. He's obviously a better player playing downhill, but I think he'll be a fine pro if he can stay healthy. Having said all that, do I want the giants to invest the #5 or #7 pick in him? I'm not sure yet. Need to think about it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also someone big enough for run support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
