Why not put the team in the title?

Here's Rosenhaus on Sirius NFL Radio...

Rosenhaus talks Rolle and Terrell Owens

Wow they must be really sold that Kenny Phillips is never coming back to have given him that kind of money.

Updating a previous item, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the New York Giants have reached agreement with FS Antrel Rolle (Cardinals) on a five-year deal worth $37 million. The deal includes $15 million in guarantees.

We need to counter this move.

changing my sig in...3......2.......1....

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Hopefully we don't counter it by paying another safety even more money than that. I'd rather we not over pay for another safety.

We will..........I dont have a answer yet but I have no doubts Jerry wants to upgrade the FS position and it's a priority. Not sure if it's going to come via FA but it will happen.

Seriously...or plan on moving one of them to strong...which wouldn't make sense since neither is that type of player.

I hope so because 37 million or not. The Giants just got better.

I'm hoping Jerry is tempted to just cash in and get Earl Thomas.

screw it. We're trying to win a ring.

**** the New York Free Agents.

for some reason, I dont think this is the case

All you need is a running game, and Dallas had that all along.

On a positive note, the Giants were one of those teams that needed a safety. It at least increases the chances of having a shot at Earl Thomas.

If anything, Arizona who lost Rolle picks one spot ahead of us.

How so? They play the same position and I don't believe either of them could, or would, be a good Strong Safety.

So to give this guy a 5 year deal and that kind of cash the GMen have to pretty sure they're not going to get Phillips back or, at the very least, they don't believe he'll ever be the same and will only be a back up player at this point.

Arizona also isnt sure they have their Franchise QB and they lost their starting MLB as well. It's not like safety is the certain way they'll go in the first round.

Then again it's not certain we would either. We have the O-Line would could address there as well.
