Re: Around the NFL Free Agency Thread 2013
 

[quote=CultBrennan59;997710]Its still a lot to give up for a player. Just because this ''isn't a good year for first rounders'' doesn't mean there are no players you could have gotten at other positions in the first or stockpile picks. Or perhaps they could have made another reach and gotten a 2nd round guy in the first again (Bruce Irvin example).

Rich Eisen pointed out that the last 3 WR trades involving first rounders have been awful (Peerless Price, Roy Williams, Deion Branch). Add to that that Percy Harvin has yet to play a full season in the NFL, suffers from migraines, wants Calvin Johnson money, and couldn't even get along with Leslie Frazier, and IMO you have a trade that has more bust than boom.

Also Ed Reed to San Fran; you heard it here first.[/quote]

Seeing as how Bruce Irvin had a better season than a lot of the other first round guys, I guess it was not a reach after all and maybe the Seahawks just had a better scouting report on him than anyone else. I'm sure they don't regret drafting him over Nick Perry, Ingram, McClellin, or Coples who were pass rushers who were supposed to be drafted higher than him. They obviously made the right choice in reference to Irvin.

What I am saying is if you are going to trade a 1st round pick, this is the year to do it. It is not easy to trade down and stockpile picks. Otherwise everyone would have 10 picks every year. I guess we will have to see with Percy Harvin. He was an MVP candidate at one time this year but the injuries are an obvious concern. But I believe it will work out for the Seahawks more than it will for the Vikings.

Re: Around the NFL Free Agency Thread 2013
 

Well, if they turn the Harvin Trade into V. Cruz and two draft picks, I think Minnesota did okay for itself in dumping an oft-injured malcontent.

If the giants lose cruz they r screwed

Poor Buddy. Stuck with that shitty Fitzpatrick and he knows it. Dude sounds like one of the good ole boys at the local watering hole.

At least Fitzpatrick knows he's on notice now, but I think he already knew that after last season.

Rams and Vikings after Cruz reportedly.

Think about this...us trading all of those picks in the RGIII deal to the Rams just might enable them to steal the Giants' best offensive weapon...helping us. Beautiful.


I'd LOVE for Mara to lose his best offensive player. :D

Cruz>Nicks and they're already paying Nicks huge dollars...Cruz is going to want to, and deserved to be paid more. Eli's contract is going to be like a cap penalty for Mara.

Same with Baltimore and Flacco...he doesn't deserve anywhere near that money, but it's tough to negotiate against him right after the SB win.

Exactly and I mean if Cruz leaves the division, then our CB/S need becomes a little less valuable, since Cruz was the guy we played twice last year who single handedly won the giants the game. It turns into worry about Dez and Nicks and Maybe DeSean Jax if healthy. Really we just need a number 1 CB and literally almost any safety not named Madieu, Cruz goes, and our secondary and defense just got that much better.

Don't know about insider, but often it seems like you parrot off of twitter feeds without referencing them. It's not hard to add a twitter handle, or website acknowledgement, like "from ESPN", or "Foxsports said". That way when people read a post of yours they know who is reporting it, and that way if you are making an opinion post, ie - I believe we will sign so and so soon, people know that you are just expressing an opinion.

Personally, I generally discount what you are saying, even though a lot of it is from valid sources, because I don't know where the information is coming from.

I tend to forget adding sources, because sometimes its multiple sources and other times its a random person on twitter who is an unknown. Then there are times that people just don't post any source so I just cut it down and get it to the point with articles. Ever since Matty asked for sources I've started putting them up.

Then again aren't we all sources. Aren't our sources getting them from other sources who are getting them from other sources who are getting them from the agent or player?

I'll miss D. Hall. Yeah he was an idiot sometimes, ran his mouth too much and if you left him out on an island, he'd get killed, but he often came up huge for us. I was never and will never be on the D. Hall is garbage boat. Probably because most of my time is spent on the Josh Wilson is garbage boat. I feel like without D. Hall (particularly, last season) this secondary would've stunk.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not crying into the breast milk. I am excited that Minnifield is coming back and hope he can provide some young lift, along with whatever FA's/draftees we pick up. Hall is older and was getting paid way more than his worth.

Hope Hall does well in the Dirty D.

Oh dear god no. Not that I think he'd be bad here, but I like Morris as our feature back and the kind of money Bush probably wants I doubt I'd be willing to give. He'd be fine filling the role Helu had, but I don't think he wants that pay cut or that role.
