Big Blue Huddle

Quote from: MightyGiants on May 02, 2024, 01:00:43 PMadd in the kicker from Rutgers and that's about it.  The Giants UDRFA class had only 9 slots.  Even before Schoen and Daboll, the Giants didn't seem to be into big UDRFA classes.

Why do some teams get tons of picks? Example KC ?

Thanks London, I feel better and defiantly more educated.....a poster pointed out this site as well. Tons of information (lots of it over my head), but still cool to look at.

@DDuggan21
Adding North Dakota State OT Jake Kubas: $270K guaranteed. That's the richest guarantee I've seen aside from Colorado State CB Chig Anusiem, who the Giants were interested in but he fetched $350K guaranteed from Washington.

A practice squad salary for the full season is $225K. The Giants guaranteed Kubas $240K in salary plus a $30K signing bonus. Strong indication that they expect him to at least land on their P-squad (although with offsets, they'd only have $45K in dead money if they cut him and he signs with another team's PS).

Rich, this is it?

Bill mentioned this yesterday on the main forum.  From what I understand, this is sort of TV piracy for dummies.  The Superbox is essentially an overpriced android device that comes preloaded with what they call an unverified streaming service (a nice name, for they don't know if the programs are properly licensed).

The only real risk would be if the company gets sued and goes out of business (plus the sellers of the product face some risk, so they tend to be on the sleazy side).

You can actually download similar software to your computer or, say, a firestick that would do the same thing.

You can find all you need to know about this here:

That website also discusses the Superbox, they are not fans

Thanks Rich. It seems like a lot of work to me. Perhaps I am too behind the times.

I am confused about "The Rule of 51″




"The Rule of 51″
The NFL's Rule of 51 says that during the offseason, only the 51 most expensive contracts count against the team's salary cap, staying in effect until the start of the regular season. Once the regular season begins, all 53 players on the roster will count towards the salary cap, plus those on IR, Pup, and the practice squad.

According to the video, starts about the 5 minute mark, but the whole video is interesting. Basically money wise we are screwed. 17 players dead cap and if rule 51 expired we will be 14 - 18 million short? Is this guy correct?

Quote from: Doc16LT56 on April 30, 2024, 07:26:34 AMWhere's the "waiting for a QB" option?

Our QB room looks pretty bleak

Jones: two neck surgeries and an ACL

Drew Lock who couldnt beat out Teddy Bridgwater and Gino Smith (twice)

Cutlets, enough said

What about Austin Reed?

Frank Gore Jr., Southern Miss

Gabriel Murphy


are on the list

I would like to see a QB and take as many guards as they can

What players would you like to see the Giants go after that were undrafted?

Quote from: President Rick on April 27, 2024, 03:56:27 PMsomeone in this young RB group MUST break out for us.

Agreed, we have Devin Singletary, Dante Miller, Eric Gray, and Gary Brightwell and now Tracy

Quote from: Philosophers on April 27, 2024, 03:53:06 PMHas to be a real hidden gem to get excited about.  So far only high RAS and low mileage on legs and kickoff ability seem positive.

Hope you guys are right. I am not a high on the pick

Quote from: Jolly Blue Giant on April 27, 2024, 03:54:06 PMLast year, the Schoen introduced the modern war room - nothing on the walls except logo and team name, everyone with a laptop or monitor. I haven't seen any room as decked out as the Giants, but none of them have anything on the wall...unlike last year. Makes me wonder if deciphering the Cowboys' draft wall a couple years ago and seeing he had Thibs and Neal as no's 1 and 2 overall, made everyone rethink their war room

I noticed it too, I even mentioned it to my Wife

Quote from: MightyGiants on April 27, 2024, 03:35:26 PMWhy?

Because we have Devin Singletary, Dante Miller, Eric Gray, and Gary Brightwell. a DT like Mekhi Wingo is more needed. Like I said months ago, why not take a chance on Michael Pratt in the latter rounds. He could sit for one year, low risk, perhaps high reward.

Quote from: GloryDays on April 27, 2024, 03:35:19 PMWingo, Mahogany and Pratt all there but what do we get?

A crap pick. We should have taken Michael Pratt
