Hixon is in talks with the Raiders. Terrible move if true. He'd make a solid #3 (considering we re-sign Cruz).

He'll be a loss as a reliable character. Think he would have been #4 as Randle is going o have big role

Kylo Ren · 04-04-2013 02:40AM

Panthers have a hard on for our players. Hixon is gone to them now. Kinda bummed he's gone.

We're looking at Julian Edelman as a replacement. He'd be a pretty good pick up for the right price.

Giants have signed Mike Patterson and Julian Edelman scheduled for 2nd visit.

If Edelman signs we are incredibly deep at WR.
Nicks, Cruz, Randle, Murphy, Edelman, Jernigan is an excellent bunch.

Not as sure about the DT situation.
Linval Joseph is a quality player.
Marvin Austin has the look of a bust. It's make or break this year.
Jenkins, Patterson & Rogers are back-up role players.
Markus Kuhn showed a bit of potential last year but has to bounce back from injury.

The pre season schedule has been released:
Wk1: At Steelers
Wk2: Colts (Fox)

Be warned, he puts I into injury. The guy just can't stay healthy, it has been very frustrating for most of us Pats fans. Last year was going so well and then bang! Out he goes injured again. The only thing he has consistently shown in the last couple of seasons, was his ability to get injured. And that has scared off a lot of teams, but I would love to keep him if he could stay healthy.

We are pretty strong at WR so he is well worth a shot to add some depth. If he can stay healthy he can battle it out for snaps with Louis Murphy and Jerrel Jernigan

Son Of A Vidic · 09-04-2013 01:33AM

If Edelman does join you guys, then the Pats will be going into the 2013 season with a bunch of WR's that have never caught a pass from Brady. :eek:

Red Crow · 09-04-2013 10:04AM

Anyone hear anything about any cheap jerseys?!

Kylo Ren · 09-04-2013 10:49AM

Jesus, they got in here too.

Sneaky little buggers. Bet they are Eagles fans.

wawaman · 09-04-2013 12:17PM

Its Jerry Jones. He has to find new ways of making money to pay Romo his wages on that crazy a$$ contract he has just given him

Red Crow · 11-04-2013 03:53PM

Eli has been working out with Nicks, Cruz and Murphy. It's strange that Randle isn't there. Also in complete contradiction to what I posted last week there are apparently serious concerns about Randle's work ethic. It may be the case that he has a prior engagement but you'd seriously think he'd be looking to get in all the practice he can. It has also come to light that Eli worked out with Randle privately in order to counter his poor work ethic. That doesn't sound good to me at all.

Son Of A Vidic · 12-04-2013 09:14PM

What's the craic with Cruz lads? They still banging heads over contract talks?

He wants over $11 million, we have offered $7 million. On a positive side his relationship with JayZ's firm means he wants to stay in NYC.

Kylo Ren · 13-04-2013 12:08AM

Hon Jay-Z!

I got 99 problems but losing our slot receiver ain't one.

Knex* · 13-04-2013 12:56AM

11 million for Cruz would be crazy money IMO.

How long do you see this being dragged out for?

$11 Million? :eek: Talk about being ambitious.

I blame the Dolphins & Mike Wallace (also Greg Jennings deal near $10 million a year)

Red Crow · 13-04-2013 01:59PM

It could be over anything. I suspect the lenght of the deal could be an issue too. I think he'll sign a deal because he wants to be paid more than $2.5M this year.

Son Of A Vidic · 13-04-2013 02:25PM

It's been a strange FA period, first you get the kind of money Wallce got. Then you get the likes of Welker getting beans. Even though I wasn't to surprised, to see an aging slot receiver not getting the value he thought he could. But in general across all the postions, there's a lot of players miffed they never got what they thought they could.

TO. · 13-04-2013 05:19PM

Cruz will eventually cave and re-sign with the Giants. He wont find the contract he wants anywhere else either. He will probably do the hold out of camp routine they all do and then realise in August staying put and signing what the Giants offer is best.

Manning Bowl on Week 2. Can't wait!

wawaman · 19-04-2013 08:25AM

Strange the "Manning Bowl" isnt a Sunday night game. Wont complain tho with it being on earlier!

Kylo Ren · 19-04-2013 10:32AM

Wooooooooot Manning Bowl wooooooooot.

After least years schedule it looks great. A nice mix of good and bad teams. It also looks good geographically (besides SD).

Ah I cannot wait for the season.

pepperfoot · 19-04-2013 04:36PM

davied wilson is an ok pick - maybe not to go in the first round but he should be picked

Give the guy a bit of time. It's early days yet

HigginsJ · 20-04-2013 09:43AM

No team attempted to sign Cruz to an offer sheet. Really hope he doesn't hold out, it's a lose/lose for everyone

If he holds out I'd get rid of him. I think he's slightly over rating himself here and if some other team wants to overpay for a slot guy then I can live with that. He's obviously been getting indications that someone else will pay him

boccy23 · 22-04-2013 12:23PM

The following is a very rough guess at the 2013 season:

Week 1 Giants at Cowboys - Win
Week 2 Giants vs. Broncos - Win
Week 3 Giants at Panthers - Win
Week 4 Giants at Chiefs - Win
Week 5 Giants vs. Eagles - Lose
Week 6, Giants at Bears - Lose
Week 7, Giants vs. Vikings - Lose
Week 8 Giants at Eagles - Win
Week 9 BYE
Week 10 Giants vs. Raiders - Win
Week 11 Giants vs. Packers - Win
Week 12 Giants vs. Cowboys - Lose
Week 13, Giants at Redskins - Lose
Week 14 Giants at Chargers - Win
Week 15, Giants vs. Seahawks - Lose
Week 16 Giants at Lions - Win
Week 17 Giants vs. Redskins - Win

On the above basis we would be 10-6.

What does everyone think?

wawaman · 22-04-2013 01:16PM

You have us going 5-3 after the bye. You must have failed to take the annual Cough-lapse into account !!!!! Seriously tho, i think we will be doing very well to go 10-6.
