[Munson]

Soon.

[Feva]

when do the eagles get to sign someone?

When they're injured and therefore, half-price.

[PhillyPhreak54]

No sweat on losing out on Ward.

I'd prefer some youth at the position.

[Diomedes]

Watch him put up 1400 yards with the Bucs though

[Magical_Retard]

Watch him put up 1400 yards with the Bucs though

Yeah good thing they run the ball.

Can only imagine the convo between Ward and Reid when he came in for a visit

"Yeah Derrick listen..let's not beat around the bush here. You've seen us play...you know what we're all about here. You're probably looking at about 3-4 carries game, pass protect 45 times per, maybe even a couple of fake pumps to you out in the flat...oh...and we're going to have to shave about $3 mill from your asking price. You in?"

"No problem...just follow Brian out to the parking lot..he'll show you how to get out of here. Thanks."

Giants to stand pat with D-Line surplus?

In spite of two juicy rumors circulating this week concerning the New York Giants trading some of their surplus defensive line talent, general manager Jerry Reese reiterated his stance to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News that the team will probably hold on to all seven starter-caliber players heading into 2009.
Tony Grossi of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports on a rumor that has circulated regarding the Cleveland Browns trading wide receiver Braylon Edwards to the Giants for pass-rusher Mathias Kiwanuka.

Another rumor that has floated in some circles would involve the Arizona Cardinals sending Anquan Boldin to the Giants for Kiwanuka or a second-round pick plus defensive tackle Jay Alford.

In both cases, the Giants would be trading from a position of strength in order to address what many consider to be the team's glaring weakness: namely, a dominating wide receiver option to supplant Plaxico Burress, whose prospects for 2009 are uncertain at best. Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle John Thornton has opined on his blog that the Giants are likely to make a move using one of these pieces.

Addressing these rumors and the questions that have arisen as to why the Giants are attempting to corner the market on D-Line talent, Reese told Vacchiano, "One thing I learned from Ernie Accorsi is you've got to have some big guys up front to get after the quarterback. Right now we have seven guys we think can start with anybody. You never say never in personnel, but we want our front to be strong. I anticipate all those guys being ready to go when we kick it off in the fall."

Watch them get Boldin after Warner signs with SF.

[ice grillin you]

giants front seven is crazy if osi comes back to 100%

[PhillyPhreak54]

No doubt about it.

Lets hope they can't upgrade that offense.
