But the reason for this is to show Osi that he is not worth as much as he thinks, thus possibly settling for less money. If someone steps up and offers a 1st rounder, then the Jints would take that deal immediately. However, I as well as most of you do not think that will happen so it is possible we can get a 2nd rounder in the 2012 draft and maybe a 5th rounder in 2013. Is it likely, that’s iffy…but I truly believe that this is all a ploy to show Osi he’s not as high on peoples charts as he thinks.

And for the record, he’s definitely not the best d-linemen on our team, maybe 2nd or even 3rd.

As for everyone hating on the Eagles, it’s obviously just jealousy. I hate them as much as the net person but you wouldnt be complaining if it wass your team signing all these players. And lets not anoint them the “dream team” until we see if they have any chemistry…that will be the most important thing. Plus a few of their signings were for one year contracts…those players won’t be touchin the ball too many times a la Ronnie Brown and Vince Young.

This guy will never be happy. I don’t think he’ll live up to what he did last year, any where he goes.

Osi is under contract to the Giants for two more years. He has two choices if there is no trade: he can honor his contract and play this season, or he can not play and forfeit his $3.1 million salary for the year.

If they are going to get a 2nd round pick, it doesn’t make sense to trade him to the Patriots or Ravens who both figure to have good seasons and later-round picks. For speculation purposes, if the teams mentioned offer a second, seems to me the Giants should trade him to Seattle, Broncos or the Rams so they get the higher 2nd round pick.

——————————————————————-

Pass. He’s too one-dimensional to play LB and too small to play DE in a 3-4.

We have 1 first rounder still on our team from the last 10 years. If we make the trade, teams would have to stop Peppers and Umenyiora, no thank you. This to me would be a no brainer.

He’s not worth a first round pick and a 50 million dollar contract.

I’d be OK with a 2nd rounder and a 5th or 6th. If it drops to a 3rd, then it should two 3rds

Sounds like it’s all turning up Baltimore to me!!!

C’mon Oz – I bet he can be had for a 3rd!!!

I think the G-Men would have to go for that.”

With Corey Webster, Terrell Thomas, Prince Amukamara, and Aaron Ross, yeah, what the Giants really need is another cornerback.

Jeez.

Aside from the fact that they aren’t trading Osi in the division, what the Eagles have is not what the Giants need. The Giants need linebackers and offensive linemen. That’s what the Eagles need, too.

————————————————-

Why would the Giants want a 5th corner (Webster, Thomas, Prince, Ross) who already is making more than Osi? Beisdes, they don’t need another selfish corner…one is enough (Ross).

KVB will be out soon enough and dunno of Avril is comIng back..Osi, Suh, Fairley..WOW!

2nd rd pick isn’t to much to give up when yr gettin a proven starter in the league. Plus how many 2nd rounders last in the NFL? Even If they do work out they’ll most likely be gone after the rookie contract.

Go get em Lions.
