And this douchebag is at it again. Not sure why the team hasn't simply told him to shut down his twitter. Why isn't this guy raked over the coals for all the stupid shit he says?

That high school in the article is bout 2 miles from me. Sometimes run at the track

I read that article today and the article was excellent. And mike Robinson is a class act too, a real tough football player as well. Qb at penn st to running back to full back and a special team ace. Kinda guy u need on your team.

Could the Redskins pursue a trade for Jarius Byrd? - Son of Washington

Could this be why we were clearing cap space?

No. The cleared cap space money simply covered for what was already spent.

We cleared cap space to have a bare minimum in the season. It's not Shanahan's MO to go after someone like Byrd, and its not BA's MO to go out on a limb cap space wise.

Reading the whole article, it's just purely a ridiculous notion to think that Cousins is going to be traded before Griffin has played a snap in a live game.

i think we got a plan at safety and trading for Byrd is not in it.

The plan at safety is to have a dominant pass rush, at least this season. The Giants had a substandard secondary in the past but got away with it due to their pass rush.

I think we are looking to go that same route. If our pass rushers stay healthy, I believe we can pull it off. Force teams to run and use short passes.

per overthecap.com, the bottom 6 salary cap teams are:

Saints $121,252,279 $1,510,273
49ers $120,895,025 $1,424,557
Redskins $102,295,699 $1,412,625
Chargers $111,177,275 $668,984
Rams $109,608,556 $525,143
Giants $116,254,315 ($975,555)

They keep these pretty accurate, so I would really like to know how the Giants are nearly 1M over the salary cap. Again, I think this shows that the restructures were just to keep us above the line this year. (yes they definitely include the Bowen and Cofield numbers) I haven't been able to find any more info on Carriker, and I don't understand why we would restructure his. That's a head scratcher to me.

I hope that the Giants get whooped for being over the cap. Competitive balance is at stake. Let 'em taste their own medicine.

Does anyone know what day teams have to be in compliance with the cap? I was under the impression that day was when teams had to cut the roster to 53.

It was yesterday at 4pm according to Andrew Brandt on Ross Tucker's show.

I just went searching and found a source saying the same thing. If the Giants didnt do anything yesterday to lower their cap, then they should get hit with a loss of draft picks.

Byrd is hurt and unable to play now anyway, plantar fasciitis...not an easy recovery.


If he could somehow afford him, which we can't, I say toss out a Pat White for Byrd offer. They DESPERATELY need a backup QB.

They must have done something. Andrew Brandt wasn't sure what the penalty was, but he kept saying repeatedly that he's never seen anyone be over the cap. I would assume it's pretty severe whatever the penalty is.
