I agree but their is a difference between cruz and welker's game and what colston and jackson would bring to the table. I just have seen plenty of times where going after the top free agent or one haunts the team for years. I like the thought of drafting young receivers with a young quarterback and having them growing in the same system and learning the ins and outs of one playbook.

That's I would like to see.

Can you get raped if you're a willing participant?


Yes, If you do not have the ability to fully understand the consequence. (you asked)

Jets = mediocrity for another three years.


More than 3. Seriously, what were they thinking?

They wanted Manning...weren't in position to get him, so they give a ginormous extension to possibly the worst starting QB in the league?

Man, I love when the Jets do this to themselves.

Maybe they'll give LaRon $50 million for 2 games on the field.

Unless things have changed since Saturday, Terrell Thomas is ready to hit the open market.

Tore his ACL twice though and still is not able to sprint.


NY Giants cornerback Terrell Thomas hopes for another shot after tearing ACL a second time - NY Daily News (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/ny-giants-cornerback-terrell-thomas-hopes-shot-tearing-acl-a-time-article-1.1036825)


But convincing teams of that won’t be easy. He only began cutting while backpedalling two weeks ago. He can run, but “not a full sprint, just a nice-speed jog.” He can jump, squat, lunge without pain and his knee feels strong. But he also said he’ll likely sit out spring drills, just to make sure his ACL completely heals before training camp starts.

“The biggest thing throughout this whole process is being proactive,” he says. “It’s not that I can’t do it, but there’s no need to rush me out there. I’m definitely not rushing to get back out there to prove that I’m back.”

Without the proof, though, teams may not be willing to take a chance. Seven months ago, Thomas who led the Giants with five interceptions in 2010 might have been in line for a deal similar to the five-year, $43 million contract extension the Giants gave Corey Webster in 2008. Now? Who knows? Certainly it’ll be a shorter deal. Less lucrative, too.

Thomas is still dreaming of something bigger, though, which may be why negotiations with the Giants have stalled. He points out that in 2010 the Jacksonville Jaguars gave defensive end Aaron Kampman a four-year, $26 million contract with $11 million guaranteed, while he was still rehabbing a torn ACL.

Free agent CB Terrell Thomas (ACL surgery) has yet to resume sprinting.
Thomas resumed cutting and backpedalling two weeks ago, but is still only capable of a "nice-speed jog" as he rehabs from the second torn right ACL of his football-playing career. Although he assured he was "closing in on" a new deal with the Giants nine days ago, he now appears set to hit the open market. Mar 10 - 4:51 PM





Giants offseason losses:
*Brandon Jacobs
*Kareem McKenzie
*Aaron Ross
*Mario Manningham

Giants offseason additions:
*None

Other moves:
*Re-signed Jake Ballard after tearing ACL
*Resigned Bruce Johnson (CB) after tearing Achilles
*1 year deal to Hixon, coming off injuries


Question marks:
*Terrell Thomas?
*Ahmad Bradshaw's health?
*Nicks' health, choosing not to have surgeries.

Vachiano says he will hit free agency, but yeah I am sure the GMen will try to bring him back.
