in the list of Free Agents, by far and away the biggest priority is Terrell Thomas.

I would vote for the biggest priority being Gilbride, TC, than figure out the O line and running back situation.  Considering the bonus that Jacobs has coming in March that is probally the most important move. 

I would guess TT is going to need more time before any decision can be made on him.

[President Rick]

I'd put tthomas and weaterford at the top of my priority list   isn't mario also an FA?

I think we can reasonably resign all the guys on the top list, with maybe mckenzie the likely guy to take a pay cut [age].  I believe jacobs will restructuure and stay.  no o ne;'s going to pay him more [age].  yet that said, these 'older' guys, while not prime FA market material, fit our team just fine right now to balance the young talent we have on the roster and on IR..

the guys I see on the bubble due to $$$ issues are going to be Osi and Mario because they'll want too much.  the rest aren't going to command big $$ despite the SB win due to age or their less than star quality [which is just fine so we can keep this nucleus and build from here.].

[worf49]

I'd be very surprised if TT after two MCL surgeries is at the top of JR's list.

[Rambo89]

So long Aaron Ross.

[St Marys]

Coughlin and Gilbride top my list, for obvious reasons.   Get them signed up.

[Jmr56]

Didn't see manningham on that list  He's gonna be FA also.

Said he wants to be back , hopefully the price is right. Having those 3 is important.

If the doctors give the green light, TT would be first on my list too. Waetherford and Mario if the price is right. Haven't seen Ugoh play, but he's a physical specimen. Jacobs best days are behind and I feel ware and Scott should bypass him now.  He's been a great Giant, but rosters turn over due to age.

Expect the free agents to get pillaged.  Happens to EVERY Superbowl winning team.  I'd expect Manningham to get a big money deal somewhere (remember when the 'Skins signed Antwaan Randle El for huge money after his Superbowl performance?).  I hope Weatherford falls under the radar.  Terrell Thomas is an interesting case study and I'd love to see what Reese has in store.  Think about the 07 free agents that we thought were 'middling' or wouldn't warrant high offer deals.  Gibril Wilson was a nice piece, a heady young guy but hardly a playmaker.  Became the highest paid safety in the league ever at the time.  Kawika Mitchell cashed in with the Bills.  Reggie Torbor got starter money out of Miami.  Anyone know the Giants position as it relates to the cap?  I saw somewhere that we are right up against it even with all the salary purged from impending free agents.

My two cents

[Frith]

I can't see why people wouldn't want Chase back on the team... He is as solid as can be.  Is he a superstar player, no, not by any means, but he is dependable as hell.

[nygsem]

Whales, all those listed as FAs, are they all UFAs?  Any RFAs? 

I also wonder about TT's knee.  Hixon's and Goff''s as well.

If TT can't go, or can't go on time, Do they bring back Aaron Ross?

[babywhales]

NYGSEM,

I filled in the tag on the ones i kind find, those that are blank I do not know.

JMr56,
You are correct, not sure how that happened.

Heard an interview with him and he was talking about being so happy to have found a home with the G-men so I think we have a good chance of signing him.  But I don't know what kind of money punters make and what the variance is between different guys.
