“Everything’s Fluid”

February

Sounds like there’s a very slim, but still existant, chance that Derrick Ward might take what the Giants are offering before free agency begins. According to his agent, Peter Schaffer, “Everything is fluid right now. Nothing concrete.” Sounds like they’re going over their options. But chances are they’ll test the market, since the Giants aren’t likely to pull whatever offer they’ve made off the table.

In truth, Ward may not get much more than the Giants are offering, anyway.

Ciao for now.

Thanks, Ernie

If Wilson is on his way out, do you think it’s more likely that the Giants give up their #1 pick (and probably another pick) for Hall?

There’s not a lot of top safeties out there in free agency

Scooter:

I don’t think they’re going to give much more than the No. 1 pick for Hall. They might just give the job to Michael Johnson, the rookie who did a good job filling in when Wilson was hurt, or move somebody like Aaron Ross or Corey Webster to safety, then draft for depth. You’re right about the safety pool, though. Rather shallow outside of Wilson, considering Ken Hamlin was franchised by the Cowboys.

I heard Coughlin has a contract. What are the details?

It’s not quite done yet, but he’ll come in at four years, about $21 million. It’s basically the figures I and just about everyone else have been reporting (about $20 milllion) since the Super Bowl. The holdup, I believe, is more the availability of the principles than anything. Maybe a little talk on whether to rip up 2008, but nothing that’s going to sink the deal. Fact is, there was no great urgency to get this done, as these negotiations have shown.

Why don’t the Giants waive Droughns and Mcquarters? No way they can bring Mcquarters back at those prices or Mcquarters..
stuart February 28th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
I meant Droughns… Ward is a very good to have, he should be reasonably priced because of his consistent injury issues..

Safety Michael Huff is a UFA. No. 7 overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, has started all 32 games of his NFL career and would be a solid addition to any team that needs help at safety. Why not chase him down? It’d be less than what Gibril would’ve cost us. He’s got potential – just played in a poor system. And even still, Raiders pass D was on point there towards the end of the season.

Is Huff even available?
