They’re going to keep that franchise tag handy in case they have a franchise quarterback some day.

I think that winning 2 superbowls and being MVP of both and always having ratings in the 80s and 90s percentiles, makes Eli Manning an excellent franchise QB. Do some research. You may try some quantitative analysis.

Although I’m a Giant fan, I gave this comment a thumbs up simply because it made me chuckle. The only other poster who could have made me laugh harder is if a person named “thegreatsanchez” posted the same thing.

Yeah because winning 2 SB’s and being named SB MVP twice isn’t worthy of being a franchise QB… Prolly a philly fan

If Phillips could ever stay healthy he would probably be paid like on of the top safeties.

Beatty has been solid but he seems to always have some type of nagging injury causing him to miss time.

As for Bennett, if he comes back that would be great but if not the Giants drafted the kid Robinson out of Cincy last year a project. See what the kid has and draft one.

He wanted to be a Giant in his last days in KC but we couldn’t make it happen. He couldn’t put Atl over the top but he knows that he can get us there again.

The Redskins and Cowboys tried to pay off some contracts early … and were simply told they couldn’t. That the money they paid out had to count against their caps … same as always … same for all teams. It’s not a fine or a penalty. This is how the cap works. Same rules for all teams.

There are a plethora of TEs in this year’s draft. Tyler Eifert would look good in a Giants Uni.

They can join the ranks of all the other free agents who changed teams.

Martellus is the only one slightly worthy and I believe the Giants saved his career. Hell he might pay them to come back. LOL.

Everyone knows the Giants can squeeze a nickel harder than just about anyone.

Guess it’s time to fine some other teams.
