I have no idea what to think. Honestly, paying that much to a WR when you are clearly in rebuilding mode is crazy but why not trade him before signing him to that deal? Is Peppers any good? I mean cap wise, they got rid of $32m a year in OBJ and Collins and with that giant cap space they got pick 17 and Peppers. If pick 17 works out then it could be a heck of a trade. If it doesn’t then the trade sucks. Again, they are far from winning the division so saving $60m in cap the next two years isn’t a bad plan if you pick a QB early and plan to be competitive in 2021/2022. It’s risky but they aren’t a playoff team paying those to $30m the next couple years. 

What do picks matter to a team though with DG as their GM?

Just wondering...  does this move free up cap for him to go after Daryl Williams now?

Yall  really think Gettlemen screwed up?  I do not. He fixed a mistake.  OBJ is a pain in the ass.  Giants are in rebuild mode, and they get J. Peppers, a  first rounder, a third  rounder, and out of a bad contract, in my opinion.  OBJ is a highlight reel, but he is simply good, not great. 1000 yards on 77 receptions.  That is 64 yards per game and an average of 1 TD every 2.66 games. He averaged less than 5 catches per game...That is not (to me) worth $1.125 million per game--that costs the fans $230K per catch. 

Just my opinion.  

Yes, NY may run Gettlemen out of town...he gave OBJ a ridiculous contract and then trades him about a dozen games later?

OBJ is arguably the most talented player in the league but the dude is a complete nut job who destroys locker rooms.

he does not show up in the playoffs or when it matters.

They eat 19 million in dead money but free up 5 million in cap space. Or so I've read

Why is there a cap hit? Bonuses un prorated? Shouldn’t Cleveland now be on the hook now?

I think you're right.  I couldn't remember.

OBJ wanted a new deal surpassing AB's deal. Add in his attitude issues and the type of return they got from the Browns... really good trade for the Giants. They got a first and a third plus a young safety with room to grow. AB didnt even get the Steelers a first. huge win from the giants side of things.

On the surface, this seems to be a great deal for the Giants, and maybe a good one for the Browns.  Giants shed a lot of cap space,  and get a first and a third.  Depends on who they draft of course, but could be a great deal.  Browns pick up a good target for their qb.

Gettleman is tanking the fug out of the Giants. Eli should just up and retire. He's done anyway plus the Giants are making zero effort to win this season. Tua or Aaron Murray will be their QB in '20.

mayfield going #1 overall in fantasy drafts now

Except for rare formats, its generally not the best strategy to take any QB #1 overall in fantasy.

[Randolph Panther]

I really think the Giants got the better of the deal here.
