This may also mean they're shying away from Kyle Pitts in the draft perhaps? By the way Herc, nice job being the Giants free agency wire on SW. You're getting all of these FA signings almost as soon as they come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK-Giantsfan Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 always liked Rudolph ( and he's only 31 )...... maybe we trade Engram now to some idiot GM who thinks he is a perennial pro bowler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueInCanada Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Herc's beating me to it lol Good signing. Could mean they are thinking of not going forward with Engram as he could still be cut freeing up space. Rudolph is a blocking machine as well.

JayD Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I doubt this is Engrams replacement. They guy will be 32 by the time he hits the field next season. Could be a great weapon for DJ in the red zone this year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of these guys can be cut without any penalty and save 6.6 million in cap space. And we won't have to watch the ball be tipped into the air seven times a year and picked off by the opposing team. If we need the cap space to sign say Golladay or a vet Olineman. Engrams is looking pretty easily cut at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see Engram get another chance, someplace else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 This could also mean a "position" change for Engram. Engrams lines up outside or in the slot mostly and Rudolph is lined up at TE since he's the better blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Nice signing, and follows the Seph formula for fixing the Giants. Quote Kyle Rudolph or Zach Ertz - 1 year, 5 million. One of these two guys is going to shake free because the cap is so low, and while both are past their primes they can still produce. I’d take either one in their “underproducing seasons” over Stone Hands Engram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Oh and correction to my post. Engrams contract is now fully guaranteed since yesterday. So if the Giants trade him they can get the cap space back but as of now Engram is on the books. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueInCanada Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Rudolph also helps out the Oline immensely, especially Peart if he's starting at RT. Being able to have him chip the edge rusher on the right side of the line or keeping him in to help block is a big win for the Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something else to consider....he will be a good mentor for Egrams.....Dude is a Pros Pro...great study and work habits.....and a bit of a red ass...very vocal. Good signing.

mastershake Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Giving it more thought, I'm not sure about this signing visa vee NOT addressing the O-Line earlier this free agency with Linsley. I don't get the thinking here in general with some of these signings. C Corey Linsley signed a contract with a cap hit of only $6.6mm, but we spend almost that on Rudolph instead? Kevin Zeitler had a cap hit of $4mm on his new contract with the Ravens, and we turn around and spend $2.5mm on John Ross and another $2mm on Devonte Booker? In other words, backup TEs, RBs, and WR's #5 (at best) are more important than starting OL on a team that's had abysmal OLs for the last 7 years??? There's no strategy here. Kyle Rudolph only makes sense if you're going to cut Engram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's on the wrong side of 30, and he's been declining for 3 years. Are we really saying this money was better allocated to a declining 2nd TE than it is to a starting OL??? I don't get the thinking here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 He seems to think he was just underutilized in the passing game the last few years in Minnesota. I guess we’ll find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Rudolph only makes sense if you're going to cut Engram. I still don't think you understand dead cap and the signing bonuses heh Zeitler was cut because he was due what was it 16+ million. You can't restructure a guy in his final year which he was, so I don't understand how you think we could of kept Zeitler, outside of an extension which makes his guaranteed money a signing bonus up front. Linsley is making 17 million this year lol he has a 17 million fit guaranteed signing bonus this season,he's the highest paid center EVER in the NFL. You act as if the Giants could of just paid Zielter 5 million and Linsley 6 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
