The change in scenery will do wonders for him, and anybody else who leaves that God awful team.

———————————————————-

Did your team make the playoffs? No they didnt just keep your mouth shut and keep watching the Bills or Argonauts or whatever sad football team you pull for.

That being said, I wish Rivers well.. he’s a good dude. And very bright, I must say.. he’s really into business and the stock market.

He had potential but is too soft. A fifth rounder is better than nothing. Enjoy having him take up a spot on IR for most of the year.

then does it even make sense drafting Linebackers in the first 3 rounds of the draft? Teams should build in other areas and then when you are a couple pieces away go get yourself a linebacker via trade.

So I can see the fifth round pick, just to get rid of him for getting hurt during off season (reason for the injury wasn’t ever revealed); especially if it only takes a tap on it to fracture again.

0-46 is absolutely, mind boggling, horrific for the one game that really matters. But if you think regular season records against one opponent is worth bragging about, well, you keep telling yourself that.

Giants trade a 5th pick which has some value but curtailing not a ton for a player who played nicely when on the field- which was extremely rare and pay about 2.1 and then rivers is voidable so what do th gmen get – a helluva motivated player- see Martellus Bennett. If he fails bye bye- and while a 5th could work out two 4ths mean the giants have extra picks not a lot of roster spot and there cap is very tight and they didn’t lock into
Anything knowing jpp Cruz Hakeem and more will come asking soon

Nice trade eagles nice trade giants
For bengals he was a goner do at least you got something

-That’s funny. The Giants were also 0-2 versus Washington last year. Let’s see….the G-Men win the Superbowl and the ‘Skins are praying they can keep RG3 upright. You franchise QB is out of the NFL. Your free-agent pickup QB can’t stay healthy and your free agent CB can’t fit your system. Once again, noone is worried about a team that doesn’t win anything. The Steelers lose to the Browns and Bengals sometimes, but at the end of the day, their concerns are the Ravens, Pats, etc.

Its a one year deal where Rivers would be playing for his payday. Rivers could yield a higher compensation pick in the future if he plays well since the Giants dont like investing too much in LBs.

But Ryans might be moving to a new position which might impact his play.

Giants lost a 5th while Eagles lost a 4th and had to swap 3rd rounders. There is still a lot of talent in 3rd round. That could be huge.

————————————

What are you talking about? He is a MLB and will be playiong MLB. The reason he was avaiable is he didn’t fit the 3-4 scheme.

The reason Ryans cost more is because he is better football player. Regarding draft picks, your reasoning here is really a stretch. And by the time, one gets to the 76th pick (the 3rd rounder the Eagles gave up), the draft is a huge crap shoot. And the best player from those 3rd round positions i the last few years is Lardarius Webb who was selcted with the 88th pick (the pick the Eagles received from the Texans).

In other words, your attempt at saying the Giants got a better deal with Rivers than the Eagles with Ryans misses the mark.

That’s the issue with Philly, there’s always a notion of having to go out and make a splash.

So much so that you’re now incorporating that mentality into the Giants decision making, which is a completely misleading opinion.

I highly doubt Mr. Reese or the Giants FO care what the perennial under achievers of the NFL think about their business practices.

NYG: 4 Rings
PHI : Maybe one day??

You know Jerry Reese is kicking himself knowing that he could’ve had Demeco Ryans for a 4th, and even more mad that he went to the rival Eagles. If improving their LB situation predraft was in their plans, you know he’s got to be pissed he missed out on the much better Ryans. Although both players have injury concerns, at least Ryans has a resume of success.

I’m pretty sure Reese doesn’t concern himself with what the Eagles pick up. I think if memory serves me, Reese’s team has done a pretty good job the last few years.

haven’t done a very good job vs the Eagles in particular. 1-5 against the Eagles the past 3 years isnt “pretty good”. but keep telling yourselves that.

HAHA…..AS USUAL, an Eagles fan hanging their hat on a regular season record. Too bad their are no trophies for that. I’m pretty sure I’ll take a 1-5 record against the Eagles in the regular season for 2 superbowl championships every day of the damn week. Losers always accept mediocrity.

Great pickup for NY, nobody can say this was a bad deal just like the Eagles deal, they both practically gave up nothing for starters. If they can both stay healthy, which they probably will, they both got LBs for the next few yrs. *Now one of them do get hurt maybe they can try and pick up jenniferXXXL big a** and see she it can play LB because she knows so much about football!

Too funny. Maybe the NFL network will hire her to replace Sapp.

Except weren’t 9 of those were from the Hines cheap shot.
Good trade, this year the Giants have 2 4′s so they’re not really losing anything as the pick they gave up was basically a 6th round pick.

Marvin Lewis had to put up with that because you guys used a number one on him. He pulls that with Coughlin and he’ll be cut before he can say “Sorry, coach.”. That was the worse part of how much money the top ten rookies used to make. They got job security they didn’t deserve. Keith’s coming to whole new world. Plus, seeing how it’s his contract year, I’m assuming his agent has explained to him his performance will directly reflect the size of his next contract or if he even gets one at all. If not, Mr. Reese will be happy to explain that to him.

Both were pretty good LBs when they were healthy. But Ryans might be moving to a new position which might impact his play. Rivers will probably start in the same position he knows.

Any 5th rounder you pickup you expect them to be a project or never make the team. Good to get a former first-rounder for a 5th round pick.
