No Franchise Player

February

It’s official. The deadline for slapping a franchise tag on a player has passed, and the Giants did not use it on S Gibril Wilson.

That’s hardly unexpected, since they never use the thing, anyway. Besides, Jerry Reese said today he’s confident Wilson will give the Giants the last crack at making a deal if he does hit the open market next Friday.

Ciao for now.

You should say they ‘rarely’ use the tag, not ‘never’. They have used it in the past.

Report: Giants preparing to trade for CB Hall

The Giants are reportedly prepared to send the No. 31 overall pick in the draft to the Falcons in exchange for CB DeAngelo Hall.
The Giants were reportedly hoping to woo Nnamdi Asomugha or Marcus Trufant, but both were franchised. GM Jerry Reese views Asante Samuel as a product of the Patriots’ system. The rebuilding Falcons could probably ask the Giants to add a later-round pick to the deal and get it. Despite the Super Bowl win, Reese smartly recognizes the Giants’ CB situation as a need area.

Please pull this off Reese! Please! Hall for our #31 would be a great trade! Imagine Hall, Ross, Webster, Madison, Dockery. Thats a CB core.

yup yup lets pull this off then i think the giants should go

wide receiver round 2 d tackle round 3 safety round 4 linebacker round 5 corner round 6 wide receiver round 7

i think the giants should draft wide out first because they are lacking some depth and toomer is getting old. d tackle round 3 because once they cut willy joe you r just left with robbins cofield and alford i think we should go into the season with more then 3 healthy d tackles.

ne way lets pull this off because with hall the giants have the best defense by far in the nfl.

and call me stupid or ignorant but i want lance briggs i think this is possible because were so under the cap. i honestly think even with the signing of hall ( if it happens) the giants can still sign a blockbuster free agent at either linebacker or wide receiver.

go giants!!!!!!!!!!
