Drake London a good player, but that's an awful lot.

I'm sorry...who? And why? Lol.

Do you think the Philly fans are saying “Thank God we got that 2028 first round pick”

Actually, they are. They were afraid that Howie would have to settle for a '28 2nd-rounder, period, because no other team wanted the dude at his price.

You already know the why: Stumpy.

We are whining over a 5th rounder at most. I like the deal. As always, we have folks who think that they could have negotiated a better deal. The biggest issue seems to be Boutte's hard feelings and his potential unwillingness to want to stay as a backup.

Let the competition between Williams and Boutte as a backup to Brown begin.

RUMORS
1) PHI wanted a 2026 1st plus a 2nd and a player.
2) Then they wanted a 2206 1st.
3) Then they wanted no less that a 2027 1st and 3rd; then a 1st and 3rd, then a 2nd and 3rd, then a 2nd and 4th

THE DEAL
Would you all rather have given the 2027 2nd and 4th or a 2028 1st and a 2027 5th?

 

[DaBruinz]

What a ridiculous over-pay for Herbig. He's not worth $25M/yr. Guy only had 29 total pressures. Absolutely f'in ridiculous.

2028 2nd-rounder. Period. If Howie refuses then he can ****. Off.

L.E.V.E.L.S….

 

[Uptown]

Anybody see anything regarding this?

 

[Uptown]

Never ceases to amaze me…

 

[Borg140]

Anybody see anything regarding this?

Interesting. Haven’t heard anything yet…

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Never ceases to amaze me…

Not just collared, but with the top button buttoned. I’d feel like I was choking if I were doing any sort of athletic activity like that.

 

[captain stone]

L.E.V.E.L.S….

So does he or doesn't he?

And it's "than" not "then".

 

[n1997y]

Not just collared, but with the top button buttoned. I’d feel like I was choking if I were doing any sort of athletic activity like that.

Maybe he has something planned right after practice and needs a quick change to street clothes?

I discussed trading for Kayvon Thibodeaux last year.

The Giants have too many pass rushers. Thibodeaux will be gone after 2026.

There have been rumors floating over the past couple of days that both he and 2023 1st round pick Deonte Banks could be traded. The apats have been mentioned in conjunction with Thibodeaux, but nothing serious.

15 mill, I dont think we can afford it.

 

[RxJock1120]

15 mill, I dont think we can afford it.

We can probably afford it for this year, but beyond this year would really depend what kind of contract he is looking for. Maye and Gonzo's extensions won't hit this year, but will greatly limit our cap flexibility for future years.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Figured highsmith was a goner after herbig’s deal. Are we interested? Is the 14.5 and 15.5 numbers below what the trading team is on the hook for? Jones, highsmith, landry, jacas, ponder is a nice group.
