ESPN's Dan Graziano reports the Giants "plan to make a run" at transition tagged DE Olivier Vernon.
Despite re-signing Jason Pierre-Paul and reportedly coming to terms with free agent CB Janoris Jenkins, the Giants still have a lot of work to do on defense. Adding an ascending pass rusher like Vernon would be a fantastic next step. The Dolphins are expected to rescind Vernon's transition tag, meaning the Giants will not have to worry about Miami matching if they are able to work out a deal with the talented defensive end.
Looks like the Giants are going with the "win now" strategy...probably see the writing on the wall with Eli with the window closing.
I think Eli has several good years left. It's probably more of a win or else year for Jerry Reece.

I still can't believe a mediocre/average DE gets 15mil a year. Jaguars are a bunch of idiots really.

A lot of analysts have been saying that due to the large cap limit, having a cap floor, and a number of teams with huge cap rooms; free agency contracts are going to be somewhat inflated. It seems that a number of teams are in "win-now" mode due to their front office and/or coaching staff being on the hot seat (Jax, Miami, NYG). So I'm not surprised by a lot of these contracts.

Equally, I wont be surprised by the disgust of the fans when these free agents go "bust"

It seems like Vinny Cerrato is running the Giants, Dolphins and Jags:

I’m told DL Damon Harrison has earned and agreed in principle to a five-year, $46.25M deal with the #Giants. Massive get for the G-Men.

Although we are on this list, I'm glad that our current situation is much different.

Makes the FT for Cousins even more right. Would have been a few teams throwing numbers at him to sign.
