[quote=diehardskin2982;785200]O.J. Atogwe will more likely be here next year because of Hasslet connection.[/quote]

he didn't come here last year when we had a chance with him. Why would we get him this year. He's another safety who gets injured a lot.

Re: Free Agency/Franchise Tag thread 2011
 

Atogwe is almost 30 already and is often Hurt. NO Thanks on him also

Did I just read correctly that the G-men won't tag Steve Smith? I know he had an injury but maybe we should make a run at him.

Nicks and Mario are both gamers, I guess SSs injury was worse than let on. I'd take a look at him though

Are the Giants fairly loaded at WR?

Re: Free Agency/Franchise Tag thread 2011
 

Yes they are loaded at WR, they also have that Cruz kid who looked good last year.

It definitely does after reading the article. You think the Giants would care if Smith walks? The seem to be loaded at WR.

Maybe but Eli had a special trust with Smith they work very well together ,it gave the Giants the option of keeping in the TE to help with blocking.If he can play the Giants will pay him and keep him.

Yup, just saw that on Twitter...

"Grant Paulsen
Confirmed: Free Safety OJ Atogwe is visiting #Redskins Park today. He's a 29yo, 6-yr vet. FS is a major need. He played for Haslett in STL."

Hopefully this means they are actually considering FS a need.

Re: Free Agency/Franchise Tag thread 2011
 

Told ya OJ would come for a visit.

Rice doesn't get the tag in Minny. If health is not an issue, he should be a FA priority. He's 24 and can be our #1 WR right away.
