Giants | Antrel Rolle also now the highest paid safety in NFL history

[bayeslife]

I like this signing.

The Giants get a guy that will come up with a flashy interception 3-4 times next season and then have someone that is out of place 90% of the rest.

At the 27 spot? The contract wont be much of an issue for a rookie. Think 5 years/ 12 mil.

I am thinking for Earl Thomas, the person I was talking about the pick for would be more like before 20... Just saying

This sounds like the Chris Canty signing.

Oh, no.

They have Antrell Rolle.

RUN.

Hide the children.

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.

The only S JJ ever seemed to overpay was Roy Williams. He typically does not pay BIG $$$$ at that position. Or at least that's what it seems to me. Use to be that way at LB also.

While I dont hate Ken Hamlin, as some do, I do think we overpaid for him.

Gah, that's a lot of money, significantly more than Hamlin's deal

Both receive $15 mil. in guarantees, but Rolle gets $22.5 mil. in the first three years. We gave Hamlin $14.9 mil in his first three seasons.

Given the market and the NFL's cap situation, they're pretty similar deals. Anyone who laughs at the NYG for giving Rolle so much cabbage should look at the Cowboys and the ridiculous Hamlin deal, too.

Please, The Giants didn't get better. Antrel Rolle is going to make that defense better please. The Giants still have plenty of holes on offense and defense and Rolle is not going to solve that problem.

Holes on offense? They were 8th in scoring and yards.

YES. Holes on offense. I guess I need to repeat it again. I didn't say their offense sucked but they obviously need to upgrade the running game. That's a big part of the offense.

 

[Fletch]

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.

Bethea?
