None of us know if our front office has or hasn't tried to.

At this point of pre-season the Giants probably have a list of 20 safeties they think may get cut and they have a chance of claiming.

Why trade when you have 20 potential options without trading?

Byrd still plays for us lol......I'm giving it this year to hold judgment against Byrd. I'm assuming he will play week 1, but I do have a small fear that he may have a undisclosed injury that may take time to heal. I do agree Warren should start next to KV.

I'm all in on Pierre Warren. Does he have any injuries we can bribe Loomis with?

In New Orleans, 20 percent of the cap is dead money, according to Spotrac. Among the players who count huge amounts against the Saints’ salary cap even though they’re no longer on the team are tight end Jimmy Graham ($9 million), guard Ben Grubbs ($6 million), linebacker Junior Galette ($5.45 million) and linebacker Curtis Lofton $5 million).

they can't afford to release Bush for Warren, plus Akiem Hicks contract is just around the corner

Next year we will see a little relief. The following year everyone will fall off. Drew Brees also will be up for contract in 2 years. If we choose to keep him his contract will not be close to the 27.5 million he commanded this year. we have roughly 29 million in dead money this year compared to 15 million next.

Well that happened.

Why don't teams or (can't teams) write something into the contract where they do not have to pay someone an exorbitant amount of money when they DONT PLAY!! :dunce:

Let Warren wear Byrd's jersey.

If Warren ends up playing lights out we would have a big decision to make if Byrd returns. I like this kid alot and as much as I like Byrd I would have to let Warren to keep seeing the field if playing well.
