3 new Giants make Grantland's "10 worst free agent deals" so far. Giants sputter early in free agency. The New York Giants: Do they have a free agency plan? Starting to look like I'll be watching until Odell Bekham Jr. inevitably gets hurt, then I'll be hiking or snowshoeing on Sundays. This team gives you nothing to be excited about. Except, of course, this.

So is there anyone left that can help this fucking team? I would have liked to have seen Wilfork at least get a sniff. The only other guys out there I"d be interested in are: Germaine Gresham - not great at anything, but OK at everything. I think he might be had on a 4-million per year salary. Jake Long - only on a cap safe, pay-for-play style deal. Nothing guaranteed. Again, can we at least ask? Let him know we're interested? Brandon Spikes - the LBs we signed do nothing for me. At least this guy gives you two good downs. BJ Raji - same deal as Jake Long There's pretty much no safeties left.

No that's true. Its just that lots of good players... Tom Brady, Chad Brown, Mark Bavaro... only got their job because the guy ahead of them got hurt. The guys I talked about weren't that caliber of player, but they were playing better than the guy ahead of them. I just kind of feel like you should stick with the hot hand and let the other guy heal 100%. That guy who got his job taken away will come back more pissed off and hungry too instead of just having his old job handed back to him. And the player I was thinking of was Sean Locklear. After Diehl took his job back, Locklear... wait for it... got injured. Stunner, I know.

Well, now I'm glad we didn't draft him.

I think we should all start calling him, "Cheeky Brown," eh wot?

This is comic fucking genius. Lebowski.

That's the one.

What I'm saying is when you have a guy that's hurt, and his replacement is playing at an equal to greater level, you leave in the guy who's healthy and crushing it. Coughlin did the same thing when Diehl got hurt a few years back and that RT came in (name escapes me at the moment) who clearly played better, but lost his job because loyalty.

The year he made the Pro Bowl he played in something like six games. He had been playing poorly and Seubert came in and was playing awesome, but instead of letting Seubert stay there he put O'Hara back in (probably also too soon). The Giants didn't rush for more than 100 yards after the switch.

No... not the league's best D and running game! Anything but that! You can't make the playoffs with a retread coach that relies on those things... just ask the Pats and Seahawks! All joking aside though, I think you might be confusing me with another poster. I like a tough running game and defense, and I like the "cheerleader" aspect of Coughlin. My problems with him are that he's too loyal to ineffective coaches and players (Kiwi, O'Hara, etc), and that he's a horrific manager of injured players (Nicks,JPP, etc). I think he's a brilliant X's and O's guy who's players are pretty much prepared for anything, but gets undone by a shitty conditioning coach, bad GM, and poor coordinators. I know Cowher's an unpopular pick on the boards and I intend to have fun pulling for him for the next 10 months or so... but if he does become the next coach, I'd give him a 3-year window of success.

This is literally the only guy I've seen that thinks the Giants are doing a good job in free agency.

Agreed! All he did was make the playoffs every year with Neil O'Donnell, Kordell Stewart, Mike Tomczak, and Tommy Maddox at QB! Any coach could win with that stacked lineup!

Well, Quinn certainly has no fucking excuse now, huh?

That's a great theory, but this is Tom Coughlin we're talking about here. Why play your "depth" when you can play a starter at 30% and ruin his career? Hakeem Nicks and Jason Pierre-Paul will tell you.

I'll take Murray and his 3 seasons of IR any day over McCoy, who burned us for 200 on the ground twice per year. I'm starting to really question Kelly's moves. He got rid of the third leading rusher in the NFL last year and a consistent top-5 performer at the position for two guys that are injured and/or underperforming all the time.

Let the Bill Cowher sweepstakes begin!

You think that's good... we signed scrub LB, RT, and RB so far, and a return guy. We also resigned Herzlich. One could probably directly copy and paste those tweets from last year.

Whelp, this has been one hell of an underwhelming offseason so far. Trades all over the place, people moving heaven and earth to get players they want... and we got "depth signings." A question: how do you get "depth signings" when you don't have any starters at those positions in the first place? I get the Giants are cap-strapped and all, but I'd much rather see 2-3 (hell, even ONE) solid starters signed and instead of 5-6 "depth" guys that are probably going to turn out like J.D. Walton and Eric Curry. Keeping my fingers crossed that somebody ends up on the team to actually get excited about, but I'm sure as hell not holding my breath.

Whatever happened to this. Was there... a video of Bryant doing something?

He looks to be a decent backup, and since we're short on decent starters, I guess that's a step up. Tough to imagine him being worse than James Brewer.

I like the Hynocerous. Would have liked to have seen him more involved in McAdoo's offense.

Personally, I'd love to see Dan Williams and Brian Bulaga. These scrubs and also-rans aren't going to be much better than the guys they're replacing. Not that it matters much. This era of Giants football has been over for a while, its just taking the Maras a while to realize it.

Wow, if this isn't a mirror image of last offseason I don't know what is. 6-10, here we come!

I think GMs are getting hip to the fact that Scherff is a guard, not a tackle. I think he slides to the mid-first round.
