BlueInCanada Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 EAs final FA class. Set the team up for the SB runs with JRs 2007 draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this FA class and even JRs 2007 draft are things of pure statistical anomalies. Team spend millions on players who can't come close to being a reliable starter. Not to mention how often first round draft picks flame out in the NFL let alone anyone outside of the first three round having a 12% chance of getting a second contract with the team that drafted them. Fucking GMs are just throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Giant Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 That was a great free agency period. The Plax deal specifically, I remember there being a real question if he would sign, multiple visits, looked like it wouldn't get done. But that was a long time ago.

Yeah if I recall he fired his agent and went with Drew Rosenhaus and they got the deal done in like a day lol I think EA even said the Giants have up trying to sign Plax. I would love to be a fly on a wall during these contract negotiations and how some agents can land mega deals so easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll add to that. 2005 draft was Webster, Tuck, and Jacobs, with our UDFAs including James Butler and Chase Blackburn. And he didn't contribute for us, but we also got Ryan Grant here and had to go through him in GB in Jan 08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman_NYG Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I agree with the luck factor. Plaxico could very much have turned out to be another Golladay - or he could have shot himself 2 year earlier too. Glad it worked out for us in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
