Nestled behind Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks on the depth chart, wide receiver Ramses Barden believes a change of scenery will lead to new opportunities.

"I'm really kind of excited for the offseason, because as much fun as I've had in New York -- yeah, I was comfortable there -- it's probably best for me to start looking in other places for a new system, a refreshed sense of welcoming," Barden told SiriusXM NFL Radio, according to The Star-Ledger. "I think everybody can benefit from newness in their lives at a certain time, and this is going to be one of those for me."

Wasn't Eli Bennett's best friend?

still snickering at the giant fans who were proclaiming him better then Witten early in the season. Noticed that talk kinda died about midway.

End of discussion.

If you can't make it with mike pope.

wonder if Mara will fire mike pope for Bennett failing?

Probably end up with his brother in Tampa.

Well, for everybody who was sorry to see MB gone, here's our chance to jump on the Bennett Back to Boys Bandwagon!

I bet he ends up in Cleveland with tight-end-ophile Rob Chudzinski. They go a ton of cap room, no tights worth mentioning on the roster and it's a weak TE market. I don't think anyone is knocking themselves out to give Marty B a lot of guaranteed money. He was even offering the Giants a home team discount.

I guess it's back to his house on Venus to wait beside the phone.

Or if he'd drop it if it did? Probably, on both counts.

Barden's kind of slow and maybe not an everydown-WR, but he might make a good short-area red-zone target at least with his size and physicality. Just loft the ball to him in a far corner of the end zone and watch him get it. Of course, I thought the same of Andre Holmes.
