Well technically we also got a 5th next year and a higher 5th this year.

The Giants as a destination never really made sense anyways as their roster is being rebuilt QB is up in the air and their defense was not a pass rusher away by any means. They were already 27th in total defense last season.

I suspect their thinking was that he and Thibodeaux would synergize and help elevate each other for the remaining years of Kayvon's rookie contract. Because that's exactly what you want, to drop $30MM on a guy that can't deliver results without potentially having a star on the other side of him.

Lolz. Hope the Giants are enjoying it.

Daniel Jones:  Kenny Golladay.  There’s more.

Bradberry ended up being good though.  We should have kept him.

Bradberry oddly didn’t live up to his Giants contract in their eyes but killed it in Philly lol

What if I told you our current gm was against trading him for 2 #1s and a second ?

I will forever be convinced Fitt was a paid assassin hired to take out the Carolina Panthers from the inside.

I cannot believe that trade was f*cked up THAT bad that it wasnt intentional.

And why do you need to put the cherry on top of your proverbial sundae, when you don't have any ice cream in the bowl?  Daniel Jones is still your QB, and this team isn't close to competing.  Brian Burns isn't changing that.

One of the big reasons I wanted to go outside to a proven successful GM/assistant GM and not go internal with Morgan.

It’s still legitimately crazy that we said no to that QB level draft pick bundle. I mean you truly have to be an idiot to pass that up. Again, for anyone following along, it was 2 1sts and 1 2nd to trade a guy asking for $30M a year because we were trying to sign him to an extension.

Had we made that deal, we basically would have gotten Hunt and Lewis for the cap space of Burns plus 2 1sts and 1 2nd. Five potential solid starters for one. Criminally insane to pass that up.

The even more disappointing thing is that before the 2023 season started, our 2024 1st would have been less valuable than the Rams because we had 2 more wins than them and we’re about to add the missing QB. We could have likely traded the Rams 1sts and kept our 2024 1st pick and DJ Moore.

It's early yet the guy is a good player he's just not worth that massive contract

Worst thing burns did was put on all that muscle after his 2nd year. Dude negated his best trait in his agility and bend to only become a mediocre run defender. Yea he was missing sacks but at least he was creating pressure.

Chinn and Luvu aren't doing so hot either. Last time I looked it was like 14 combined tackles, no sacks, ints, or TFLs.

QB you say? Perhaps we could interest them in a QB? He’s a bit of a fixer upper but the brain on that kid….

I never did understand Chinn. Looked good his rookie year and then disappeared. I realize we had crap coaching and they werent playing him where he was meant to play so I figured he would have caught fire in Washington but apparently not.

We also saved the salary so we could sign a stud RG and WR--about the same money.
