Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 03:52:32 PMThe irony is if Gettleman had just drafted Parsons (and assuming the Giants were able to manage Parsons as we as Dallas) or if DG grabbed Slater, no one would have ever talked about the Eagles outmaneuvering the Giants.
It was the outmaneuver combined with the terrible pick of Toney in the trade-down (along with squandering the first-round pick they got on Neal) that made things look so bad
Quote from: H-Town G-Fan on Today at 03:39:57 PMGettleman got outmaneuvered by Philly who moved up to take Devonta Smith and then couldn't pivot off the pre-planned approach (take a WR in the first round) to either of those two players you mentioned.

How would agents view Schoen if he tried to force a renegotiation of an injury guarantee? While I have seen players be asked to take pay cuts or be cut, I have not witnessed a team try to renegotiate a guarantee. There seems to be an unwritten rule (I am not fully versed; it might even be a written rule) that guarantees money in contracts.
Do you think that might hurt Schoen in future contract negotiations?

Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 08:48:01 AMSchoen talked about Nubin being a "culture setter". This is exactly how you set a culture, calling out behavior that hurts the team rather than helping it. I can't wait to see how he is in a couple of seasons. I have a feeling the Giants have found themselves a true team leader.
