I thought they were serious about the Bears looking at this oaf. “whistle blowing”"false start on the offense, the big idiot there who can’t stand still for a two count, ol’ whats his number.” Hahaha, enjoy. Just thinmk if he would have had one more false start A. Peterson would have broke the record.

Cruz is an ultra-productive slot receiver who can also play outside, tough (not prone to injury), and seemingly a great team player. He would likely cost about the same as Harvin, but without the diva act or the missed games.

The Giants are too close to the cap to be able to match an incentive-laden deal the Vikes could afford (unfortunate that they can no longer do a poison pill deal now like they used to get Hutchinson, as that would make it much easier).

Cruz is from the NYC area and likely really wants to stay with the Giants, but he probably wants a long-term deal in the $8-10 mill/year range even more.

Jennings would be fine, but he’s a short-term fix. Cruz would help Ponder and the team a lot more and for a lot longer.

Wow, you almost made it an entire sentence without resorting to name calling. Usually this isn’t noteworthy, but for an accomplished poster such as yourself, it deserves a call-out. Bravo.

The team famous for wearing little girl braids and purple jerseys. They are also the team that has choked in 4 Superbowls. Not to mention 2009 when their #1 girl BrINT Perve couldn’t lead them to the promise land. They also had the love boat incident where Viqueefs players were witnessed engaging in ‘man on man’ action. Then their precious humpty dump collapsed a few years back. These chodes have been the laughing stock of the league for over 50 years! Seeing them fall flat on their face every year while Karla Heinrichs and Syd Davy lead the weekly circle jerk in the purple grandma lot is absolutely hilarious.LOLZ. GO PACK GO!!!

Play somewhat decent on your existing contract, sign a big new contract, get in line at the Buffet restaurants and eat yourself fat, show up fat in camp and go thru the motions to collect your new paycheck. Just look at the guy, he can’t wait to get in line at Golden Corral.

Keeping the O-line intact is a huge plus after they jelled last year. Loadholt has his issues in pass protection and this causes too many penalties for lining up too far off the line to get a better angle. Still, he was a true road grader blocking for AP.

There may be better OTs available but cohesiveness on the line is extremely important. You can’t argue with last year’s results.

Even improved his pass blocking last year. Now we just need one big time signing to make sense of the Winfield situation.

Loadholdt isn’t the best pass blocker, but since they have Kalil protecting Ponder’s blindside, Loadholdt is solid opposite him.

One less worry for the team to deal with this offseason.

Not the greatest RT, but still young, HUGE, and with more seasoning, perhaps less prone to false starts. The continuity factor for our O-line was more important than what else might have been out there.
