Amazing news! Think he stays if the Pats win that game?

that's 1 team that's definitely earned the "You hear that Boston?" bragging rights.
good job w/the tribute!  After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

now that Spags is back in the fold, it's time to start looking at pending FA's... i'm hearing the Gints are in talks to extend Derrick Ward's contract... there's also the issue of trying to hold onto Kawika Mitchell & Gibril Wilson, both who are key members of our newly revamped D.
i think it's imperative to keep this team together... they gelled so well towards the end of this season & finished w/a flurry... i feel they can carry this momentum straight into next season if they can hold onto those 3 guys & keep this core together for another run in '09. V, what's the deal w/the cap situation? u think Reese will be able to get this done or have u heard the Giants have other plans in the making?

Posted by TMS: GIANTS have a better cap situation this year than they did last year. They are projected to be at least $20M under with only the guys you named as key UFA's they need to keep. I don't know why but I doubt the GIANTS are gonna make too many splashes. I think they'll keep the guys they got, add a few hungry lower tier, lesser known guys (who will pan out to be awesome) and draft brilliantly again. The future is bright and I really trust Reese's decision making after his first year turned out so great. check out my latest hip hop project: https://soundcloud.com/michaelcro http://youtu.be/scNXshrpyZo

awesome to hear... thanks eViL... w/that much in cap room they can afford to possibly upgrade in the secondary w/a signing also, no? not that i think Ross & Webster are bad, but they could use some more depth, cuz Madison's getting old & he can't cover guys on deep routes the way he used to, & Kevin Dockery's not all that.

There are some big names out there on the defensive side of the ball -- Briggs, Samuel, Dansby, Trufant, Hamlin... I don't know any of these guys well enough to really judge their fit with the GIANTS. But I've heard their names thrown around as big UFA's. Whatever Reese decides to do is cool with me. I won't second guess the man.
Maybe the GIANTS will draft another defensive back. Who knows? The thing that makes me the most happy about the team is that there are no glaring holes anywhere. I agree that the secondary is probably the most shaky. But it's not terrible. We are in good position to solidify every facet of the game and build a dynasty.

i read the Cards might smack the franchise tag on Dansby... Briggs is gonna command way too large a paycheck & anyway our front 7 is solid w/Kiwanuka coming back next season & if they hold onto Mitchell... Zach Deossie stepped up in special teams this season too, so he along w/Gerris Wilkinson will be useful pieces to have as depth at the position going forward.
Marcus Trufant would be an awesome pickup for us at CB to augment our secondary... maybe move Madison to free safety & get rid of Butler since Madison's a solid tackler & Butler sucks in coverage? then use either Webster or Ross as well as Dockery in Nickel & Dime package coverage depending on who wins out in training camp? or we can just sign Ken Hamlin to play alongside Gibril Wilson... that would give us 2 hard hitting physical safeties in the secondary that should make guys think twice before going through the middle on their pass routes. i like those possibilities bro.
