Quote from: Giant Jim on February 22, 2024, 01:32:34 PMNot trading players that will be free (UFA) at the end of the season when the team has a losing record at the deadline makes about as much sense as trading draft picks away at the deadline for a DT/DE that's going to be a UFA at the end of that season. The more changes they make, the more things remain the same.
Quote from: kingm56 on February 22, 2024, 03:08:41 PMThe irony is, a significant portion of fans on this site thought the LW trade was a good move, as well as retaining Barkley until the Giants were officially eliminated. In short, there seems to be a lot of hindsight lately. Reflection is great; however, it seems unfair for the same fan who defended retaining Barkley/trading for LW to now criticized the franchise and those transactions...My post referring to the first Leonard Williams trade is not in hindsight. I never agreed with it. I was in shock when they made the trade to obtain him. They were in position to be sellers at that time, certainly not buyers for a rental player. The contracts he signed with the Giants were for the team to save face. I don't appreciate your implication that I changed my feelings about the situation after the fact. I never posted I was in favor of the first Williams trade or keeping Barkley & McKinney at the last deadline knowing they would be UFA's after the 2nd half of the season.
