I'd be interested in Campbell as a vet leader.
That D is really young.
A guy not on the list, who I wouldn't mind a reunion- Linval Joseph

He's 35 years old. How much does he have left in the tank? He had 7 tackles in 7 games last year.

The Giants could use a part-time veteran DT who can rotate in for some snaps, which I think Joseph is still capable of providing.
Howard or Campbell if we can sell them on strong upside one year incentive deals are ones I would try hard to get. There are also still second tier guys who could add leadership and rotational depth eg Steven Nelson, Shaq Lawson.

Why are our standards so low?
It's not about having low standards, it's about hopefully Davidson or 1 of the 2 Oregon kids developing into something so you don't hopefully need a big money player at every single other position on the front 7. Seriously every guy starting is either a 1st/2nd rd pick or getting paid millions. It's ok to have 1 vet min in rotation.

The Giants have a front 4 of Dex, Thibs, Burns, and Nacho. They need a rotational piece at DT and how much do you want to spend on the D-line in terms of salary and picks?

I'll throw in Akella Witherspoon. 29 and a fairly good corner who has played on winning teams

I am not as hung up on the money aspect as others here. I just think 35 is ancient for non kicker/punters/QBs and that role can be filled by a guy still in his 20's.

Your comments got me to go to PFF and look up his grades. Joseph's grades in the past two seasons with Philly and Buffalo were not good- 59.1 and 43.3 respectively
:doh:
