Tony G is getting way too old, they have a great TE in Boss for the next few years. Osi already did get a new contract
12/24/2005: Signed a six-year, $41 million contract extension through 2012. The deal includes $15 million guaranteed. 2008: $1.7 million, 2009: $2.55 million, 2010: $3.1 million, 2011: $3.125 million, 2012: $3.975 million, 2013: Free Agent

He’s good for a few years.
If they are going to get TJ then they probably let Ward go cuz that would be too much money.
The Giants have the following as FA’s this offseason.
Barksdale Rashad – Practice Squad
ButlerJames – offer a lower amount hes not a star but good
CarneyJohn – retire
CarrDavid – offer another 1 yr deal
DahlCraig – practice squad
DockeryKevin – same as butler
HarrisKay-Jay – injured all year so release
JacobsBrandon – show him the money!!!
JohnsonDarcy – let him go and draft a 3rd back up
McDougle Jerome – let go
McQuarters RW – let go
Ruegamer Grey – sign to a 2-3yr deal
ScanlonRich – let go
Tollefson Dave – resign 3 yr deal
Toomer Amani – Please resign he’s a Giant
Ward Derrick – let him go (but not cuz they want to)
Ware Danny – sign to a low 4 year deal (hes alot like Ward)
Wright Anthony – release
Wynn Renaldo – let go

while they are at it. Bring in Pacman for the defense. And I think Mark Chumura is getting out of jail soon. He would make a perfect tight end. Burress is a SLACKER who does whatever he can to get out of practice. Things must be really desperate at Giant headquarters now that they are out of the playoffs.

Are you guys crazy?? Burress is DONE as a Giant. He’s a head case that will never change, always be in trouble with Management, and isn’t worth signing. Of course Reese is going to say that he’ll consider signing him – he’s got to protect his “value” to see what little the Giants can get in return for a trade.
Sign TJ Houshmanzadeh, trade for Tony Gonzalez, Franchise Brandon Jacobs and sign Osi to a long-term deal with the money saved on Burress!

Hopefully, the 2009 Giants will have enough talent to overcome the mediocore QB that they have and win another Superbowl!

Yeah Hoshmanzadah should be on their list, but that would mean that they will most likely not resign Dward.

I have to agree with Reese and Jacobs. Other than being lazy and a few questionable domestic dispute alligations, Plax has never done anything remotly wrong. He’s not Pac-Man where he’s trying to put hits on people.
He brought a gun to feel safe…its a strech but i can accept that. Next time he knows better not to bring it.
I can believe that this has scared him straight.
Probation and a 4 game suspension from the league to start 09 seems pretty fair to me.
But if he does get locked up (which shoulnt happen because there was no intent)then i think they go after TJ Hoshmanzadah.
Only makes sense.

plaxico would be welcomed back with open arms. he made eli. w/o its pretty dam obvious we are not the same. any judge in his right might will but plax on probation and give a 2nd chance. its not like he killed someone or robbed a man at gun point. he didnt rape anyone . he didnt beat someone to death. he didnt get busted for any large amounts of drugs. my fellow giant fans , he made a god honest mistake.

if this where western times we wouldnt even be talking about this. everyone carried a gun, cause you never knew what outlaw was going to shoot you.

I’m sure Reese is super serious about bringing him back. Why tip your hand (“we’re going to need to do whatever we can to get a high impact WR in here”) when you can just spout some BS and the public will just soak it up? No way Plax is in a Giants uniform again. He’s going to be in jail anyway, so, Yes, Brandon, he is a criminal.
