  1. The draft is loaded--but yes, I would do that. he is 25.
  2. I think there are a lot of things that we do not know. I do not think keeping him was an option. Imagine if they let him hit free agency? Morgan did not make this problem--someone predicted that Burns would only get a third. It is probably going to get ugly before it gets better.
  3. The money is the issue. Now we can get a WR, Brian is not worth $30m per for 5 years. Burns, in Morgan's opinion, was not a dawg and I am guessing that he did not see him as a 3-down OLB. We have YGM and Barno and will likely add an Edge now. With the cap savings, we can also add 2 more need positions. I am disappointed, but I am not blaming Morgan. BB was damaged goods here, and teams were aware.
  4. which second? It makes a difference. #39 or #47, I believe.
  5. what makes you say this? I can say that (I used to work Sports at the Observer when in grad school, so I am familiar with the 'behind the scenes' concerns. I worry that she is a bit aggressive, trying to get out ahead of the story--it is competitive now--moreso than it used to be.
  6. Right. If a 6'6"g keeps the DT within a yard of the line of scrimmage or a 6'3" offensive guard lets the DT get two yards into the pocket, the 6'6" G is easier to see over. If I hold a tennis ball a foot from me and a basketball 10 feet from me, the tennis ball looks bigger. Kinda like magic.
  7. Probably a good point--but something is holding this up. If other teams are involved, it would also be a waste of everyone's time to have a contract worked out before a trade was in place--I assume that Burn's agent gave the Giants a ballpark figure, and the devil is in the details. I dunno because nobody does.
  8. If you go back and look at our record, the Huddle is a bunch of dumbasses. Present company excluded, of course.
  9. Brian Burns actually could refuse to sign the tag, if I am not mistaken. They have to agree on a long term contract. New york looking for someone to play opposite Thibideaux (Sp). With the #6 pick, they can get a QB. Burns is the only person who can stump this deal. The Giants did not re-sign Barkley, letting him go to a division rival. Now that the news of this gets out, their fans will storm the castle if they dont make it happen. They have the cap room (I just saw $38m--dont know how updated it is)
  10. I think the damage was done with Burns before Frank was fired. We are taking the Lexus to the scrap yard now.
  11. I think in trades, they pay by the pound. We'd get a seventh round conditional pick in 2027
  12. We lost Burns months ago. All that is left is trying to get something for him
  13. I imagine the sticking point is the contract with Burns--just as it was with us--the Giants would offer less if the deal was higher--I assume. Morgan is earning his $$$ today---he should be playing them off each other.
  14. no--they are going after a QB, imo. The fact that they did not want to give up a second (if true) is probably the reason this is dragging out. They need it to move up. I am totally guessing, but if we take both seconds now, they can't move up as easy.
  15. Don't forget, Morgan was a LB---he knew that Luvu was a gap shooter--and for every tackle for loss we saw him get, we got gashed when he guessed wrong. Morgan knew what he was doing here. Give him credit.
  16. I imagine Morgan is holding out for the 2 seconds. The Giants are trying to give up a second and then something later or a pick next year.
  17. a quarter takes 1 roster spot, and three dimes takes three. Maybe that was what he meant.
