I get trying to make the D better, but go after guys that a) aren't always injured and b) are actually good players.

Speaks volumes that no teams except us called him.
Remember Drew's circumstances. No one else wanted him after his shoulder injury but we took the chance and it paid off. Maybe it happens again?

But why add another often-injured linebacker to our linebacker corps ? He has missed 25 games in 4 seasons. With Zach Brown & Hodges still available, this is a puzzling FA signing. I would have even taken a flyer on Minter. Saints don't need "locker room" guys, we need talented, skilled linebackers that can impose their will on the opponent on a consistent basis. Last time I can remotely remember Teo's play on the field, he was getting trucked by the Bama O line in that championship game years ago. We've been catfished ;) !

Maybe they are pushing Stephone out the door?

End rant.

Well we haven't added him 'til he makes the final 53 or whatever the number is these days. We have been historically bad. I just don't see any harm in it - not saying the guy is a beast, just sayin' there's no harm in bringing in as many people as we can - let 'em fight for it.

He nothing more than a camp body. If he somehow makes the team it means he deserves it. We'll have 90 players that will be shooting for those 53 spots.

He did play for Nolan a couple of seasons ago, so there's that I guess.

Low risk. If he doesn't work it it won't cost us millions for a change.

Manti of the broken heart T'eo had played for Mike Nolan in San Diego...

Here's the thing, really good position coaches like Nolan, like to bring in "one of their guys" when they're trying to install a new program for a position including calisthenics, drills, film study, etc as that guy can help the others transition quickly to how that position coach likes positional practices "choreographed" if you will...

In a 4-3 Defense, usually you have four (4) OLB and three (3) ILB on an NFL roster, the fact we have four (4) signals competition and can be a feint for the draft...

May be nothing, but I read Butler has removed "Patriots CB" from his instagram account and posted some cryptic statement about change, FWIW

Translation ... "I got paid!" ... or "I've accepted a new contract" or "I'm staying in New England".

To be continued ...

He's kind of an unpredictable mess. Plus he brings the annoying press with him. Even now, ESPN can't stop writing about him. If he takes a dump, the press is there writing a story on it.

I really like our defensive line moving forward and like that we can draft an elite rookie rusher for depth...

Happy for Tyrunn Walker, but I regret we let him get away...

Giants want to re-sign Johnathan Hankins, but won’t be “irresponsible” | ProFootballTalk

jeanpierre 03-27-2017 01:51 PM
Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?
 
Yeah, because the cash they doled out last year and got them a 38-13 beatdown by Aaron Rogers and the Pack and a Wildcard exit outta the playoffs wasn't irresponsible...

Lol ... if I were a Giants fan, I'd really be pi**ed at the effort from Odell and the rest of that O line. Next time I'm sure he will use caution on planning "pre playoff excursions (Miami) with his homies.

Can't really blame the defense ... Landon C and Olivier came to play.

Hankins is getting rip for the pickings. steal a 1st rounder like him from another team at a good price is always a win win in my book

besides Nick is 29 and that contract is basically a two year deal. cap casualty clause kicks in 2019 at 31.

Re: 2017 Free Agency thread anyone?
 
Really wished Loomis would have gotten Zeitler for just a bit more; worried we're looking at Gurbbs 2.0 at right guard with Warford...

Looks like we'll have 20 mil in cap space, but who are we spending it on?

And then there's Ellerbe's salary cap hit?
