Newsflash…Kenny Phillips is still a giant question mark and the corners are ok. In other words, the Giants secondary is still a problem.

A shutdown CB in webster, 2 rising stars in Ross and Thomas paired with 2 of the best safeties in football?

Holy crap, the 2 best safties in football? When did the Giants sign Ed Reed and Troy Polumalu? No? Atogwe and Dawkins? No? Hmmm.

Bears and Dolphins were the smart ones in this deal, Giants way over paid.

Bottom line: He’s a HELL of a lot better then what we had. You have to make improvements where you can. It’s not like Revis or Polamalu were just sitting around waiting to be signed to make whoevers secondary legit.
You have to make moves where you can, just a chess game people.
Lot of hatorade on this thread which really should just be consisting of Giants fans with the occasional Eagle fan to take out their frustration on not signing anyone on our additions. You Bears, Dolphins, Cardinals fans….beat it, you’re teams are irrelevant to the NFC East, especially the Cards, the team that was kicked out cause they couldn’t keep up ; )

excellent comment someone made earlier, pretty lazy at the facts and writing the article to call him the highest paid. Other safeties and secondary guys are making a lot more. If you look at the overall numbers this is a good deal. The giants finished .500 last year and their season pretty much came to an end when Phillips went down, adding him to their other 35 injuries and he was the biggest blow. Their safeties got abused last yr, absolutely destroyed. phillips isnt that big of a question mark. He could have played all of last season at a pro bowl level but if he didnt get his knee fixed he would have been facing crippling arthritis in years to come. Do some research.it wasnt a torn ACL or anything. His knee wasnt any worse than training camp when he was coming to his own or his dominant first few games of the season. rolle and phillips are going to be nasty together, both Miami kids and webster is one of the better corners in the NFL. that 15 mill isnt a big price to pay when getting back to a championship level. The g-men can afford it. They will sign a big FA linebacker and draft a stud LB. they have solid wr’s and osi had a yr of play to get back to form, generally takes a yr or two, and jay alford is coming back, ask tom brady about him.

I hope Dallas fans enjoyed their brief delusions about winning the NFC east next year….

LOL, there isn’t a secondary in football that touches ours.

Gotta love you Dolphin fans…..You wanna throw stones about paying Rolle too much meanwhile you paid Dansby 22 mil Guaranteed, yet you still dont have a receiver to throw to.
we also don’t have a nose tackle to block, or 3 other quality young starters at LB, a FS, a TE or a RB we’re sure to count on next year. What’s your point? WR isn’t the only need on the team, and it’s slim pickings right now. Boldin and TO are old and broke down divas. B Marshall is a McGriddle away from being put in jail. Everyone out there is old or a headcase. Besides, Miami is still 1-2 years away from being serious as a contender. Dansby was worth the money, Rolle wasn’t. Bottom Line.

Even though the SB in 07 was one the best moment I could have as a Giants fan, there were areas that were hidden on the D that were never addressed. Whether it was a mix of Spags scheme or the the D-line playing out of their skulls in the playoffs Im not sure.
But if the Giants thought Michael Johnson could play in this league they were kidding themselves. Yea Rolle might be overpaid but he is a MAJOR upgrade to what they had last year and it’s an uncapped season. Him and Philips healthy could be something special. Let’s go get Will Witherspoon and Ill be happy.

this is exactly what big blue needed.. some serious help in the secondary… glad we finally spent some money… hopefully jerry is not done yet, if it was up to me i would trade up in the draft for N. Suh.. we still need help on defense

The dude flat out sucks. Couldn’t cut it as a CB so he gets pushed to safety, and he can’t cut it there either.

I also love how you all act like its your money these owners are spending. Rolle’s contract is probably heavily front loaded to preserve our cap. And as others have said the guarenteed money is the only number that matters.

Man what a bunch of whiney bitches. Waaaa We couldn’t sign Rolle so we are all going to pretend he sucks waaaaa.
Awsome signing G-Men. I’ll remeber how over rated Rolle is when he is picking off all your QBs and going to the probowl.

@R36W- Fane isn’t a word. Don’t worry, most Eagles fans don’t know it’s spelled feign. Also, nice job with the word “uses.” Good job hijacking a post that has NOTHING to do with the Eagles while complaining about a team that was in the NFC Championship game. Go get the batteries!!!!!

Man, the cards have just been gutted the last few weeks. And I really liked their team the last few years. Who’s gonna win that division now? There’s not one QB worth a damn

The Notorious V.I.C. says: “Glad my Bears dropped out of that race. The dude’s just not worth it.”
1) The Giants are, admittedly, desperate. Phillips says his knee feels great, but no one will know for sure until the games begin. If he goes down again, there goes the season – again.
2) After Cutler AND Peppers, Chicago fans should NOT be throwing stones. That’s a mighty big glass house you boys are building up there.

LOL @ the comments on Rolle…he is ok, far from worth the money. Phillips is a big question mark, and the corners are solid, nothing more.

By: VikesandColts Fan

Happens every year. A weak market gets a player paid WAY more than he is worth. Don’t get me wrong I wanted my Vikes to go after him and replace Madeiu Williams but not at that price. Peppers got way overpaid as well. Great player but past his prime.

@RaiderRedleg – Welcome to the year 2010. The NFL makes a few bucks. The players are generally going to get some of that. Free agency is usually a good source of income for players. Why be surprised? And I’m pretty sure you’re the only one to include Al Davis in all of this. His drafting ability hasn’t exactly helped his reputation. But hey, at least the Raiders can’t select a 1st round bust in 2011..
@NYG######### – Ross is awful. Phillips is a question mark, in regards to his health. Also, Rolle really isn’t that great. He’s an upgrade from what he Giants had for sure, but to think the secondary is solved… yeah, I’m a bit skeptical. As far as your other point, yeah… it would be nice if they ever decided to address their LBs. I have to assume their 1st round selection will be the best LB available.

“Per a league source, it’s a five-year deal worth $37 million, an NFL record for a safety. Rolle gets $15 million guaranteed and $22.5 million over the first three years.”
Sanders and Landry both have a bigger contract.
Reed has the same per year but an extra year.
Polamalu has less overall but more guaranteed.
Don’t be lazy.

By: WilsonFisk

WilsonFisk — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 22:54:18 +0000

Look at the total guranteed…only $15m guaranteed….I really think this deal is great for the Giants.
Remember people flipping out about LaVar getting 7 years 49 million?…he saw no more than the guaranteed amount
