bamf75 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Giants | Demps expected to visit Tuesday Tue, 14 Mar 2006 05:04:55 -0800 The New York Daily News reports the New York Giants were pursuing free agent S Will Demps (Ravens), but he did not make his scheduled visit Monday, March 13, He was expected to try again Tuesday, March 14. Giants | $4 million in cap space remaining Tue, 14 Mar 2006 05:12:52 -0800 The New York Daily News reports New York Giants are believed to have about $4 million left under the $102 million salary cap for 2006 Giants | Agent says team still trying to re-sign T. Carter Tue, 14 Mar 2006 05:13:45 -0800 The New York Daily News reports agent Pat Dye Jr. said the New York Giants are still trying to re-sign free agent WR Tim Carter (Giants). Giants | Team may make an offer for Arrington Tuesday Tue, 14 Mar 2006 05:15:24 -0800 Mike Garafolo, of the Star-Ledger, reports agent Carl Poston said he spoke to the New York Giants Monday, March 13, but the team did not make an offer for free agent LB LaVar Arrington (Redskins). Poston expects the Giants to make a proposal Tuesday, March 14. There's also a chance Arrington could visit other teams. Giants | More about Arrington Tue, 14 Mar 2006 05:18:34 -0800 Paul Schwartz, of the New York Post, reports there are some interesting theories floating around regarding free agent LB LaVar Arrington (Redskins) and the New York Giants. One involves a conflict of sorts between the front office, which is leaning toward trying to sign Arrington, and the coaching staff, which is not sure he will fit in with the defensive scheme. Arrington, who has spent all six of his NFL seasons with the Redskins, is a superb athlete, but tends to freelance on the field and that may have turned off the coaching staff. Arrington also may be at his best playing in a 3-4 defensive scheme, but the Giants are a 4-3 team that relies on the pass-rushing skills of DEs Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora. "It doesn't fit," said someone with knowledge of the situation. Another factor is Arrington is seeking a big contract, which would limit how active the Giants can be in free agency. Giants | Agent says team interested in Buckner Tue, 14 Mar 2006 05:56:41 -0800 Darin Gantt, of the Rock Hill Herald, reports the agent for free agent DT Brentson Buckner (Panthers) said the New York Giants are one of three teams he has spoken to the most about interest in his client.

Not_Ldiggitty Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 GODDAMMIT!!! Friggen Puke needs to restructure his ridiculously high-priced contract to free up some room.....grrrr, I hate him more and more......I can't believe he's one of the top paid players on the team.....

Goliath Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) Demps wouldn't be bad but I'm fine with our S core. All we need is a FS to compete with James Butler for the starting job (Jason Allen?). Good depth with Brimmer, Shivers and Harris. 4 M? Shit, release Fred Robbins and Will Peterson. RESTRUCTURE PETITGOUT Tim Carter? Only if he's cleared to play I hope that NY does make an offer Buckner is pretty old, a short term solution.

gmenroc Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Buckner - no more than a 2 year deal, if that. Rather see Pickett or guy from Seattle whose name I'm drawing a blank on. Arrington - just make the offer, sign the deal and call it a day already. Demps - get your ass in here already and sign your shit. Tim Carter - we can't sign Jabar Gaffney instead for a similar contract? 4 million probably doesn't include the rookie pool, so there probably shouldn't be too much worry about signing draft picks.

shockjock Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 If we can bring in Demps and Buckner/Sam Adams I would be very happy if that is all we did in free agency. I am not comfortable at all with Lavar, and like it said, he freelances and likely won't fit our scheme, no matter how amazing an athlete he is. We can find a quality LB in the first round...no reason to throw all our remaining cap money at a malcontent, unmotivated linebacker.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nutty Sack Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 We need to get Rocky Bernard now !!!!!!!!! Right all this wrong doing. Throw whatever money we have left at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uconngiants Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 ehh only 4 mil.... No way in hell can we sign a DT(a good one at lest like Rocky or Buckner) Demps and Arrington i am almost leaning to sign Buckner/Rocky (doubt we can sign Rocky) and Draft D'Qwell Jackson and second a saftey not a big fan of rookie DT's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just sign them to longer contracts (which would be ideal for someone like Rocky Bernard or Will Demps)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Yes, he's still available Tanks > Demps both are pretty promising and better than what we have i'm keeping my fingers crossed for either. It must be said that Will Demps did have the advantage of playing next to Ed Reed in a pretty damn good secondary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njsmalls Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I don't know if EA has anything up his sleeve. But these signings seems like were at the end of the season and most of our corners are on the DL and were are just getting bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermin79 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I don't know if EA has anything up his sleeve. But these signings seems like were at the end of the season and most of our corners are on the DL and were are just getting bodies. Tell me about it, but Madison is going to kick ass next year. How in the world do we only have $4M to spend. No wonder we aren't going crazy in free agency. Screw Lavar, I'd rather draft a rookie or sign greison if he is going to put us in a whole for years to come. And the way this article sounds, I think TC will put LV in his doghouse from the moment he signs, if the coach doesn't want him then don't sign him.

gateb Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Now I'll take Lavar but not for as much. Remember, these are only reports. We aren't sure these statements are true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
