You can only do this with players who are excellent to elite at their position, which McKinney is most certainly not.

What sort of money would you be willing to hand McKinney on a second contract?

Slightly less than what Love got from Seattle. 2 years, $5 million per.

McKinney played great today. Probably his best of the season.

Thank god he saved it for such a meaningful game.

Giants played a lot more zone today. I think that was a factor in why you could see the impact of the safeties on the tv view.

You can't win with some Giants fans. As soon as he decided to go on that off road ATV trip during bye week last season he became persona non grata and there was no coming back. It is amazing how quickly Giants fans turn on a player forever over one incident. Like the fans that turned on OBJ after the Josh Norman game in 2015 and never let him back into their good graces.

Quote from: LennG on November 17, 2023, 04:30:22 PMAll I've been ready lately is that there is no way the Giants re-sign him again. WHY?
Because he is mouthing off because he wants to win that badly? I fully understand that you need to keep things in-house, but McKinney was a bright light until he got hurt. Can a player. all of a sudden, go from 'star' to dud?
Why are some so anxious to move on from him?
Quote from: H-Town G-Fan on November 17, 2023, 04:33:04 PMHe hasn't been that good from my perspective. Expected much more of him. Would not want to give him what I anticipate he will want in FA. If it's reasonable, fine. But I would not pay close to the top of the market for him.

I think wanting to win has got nothing to do with being respectful or the decisions of your coaching staff. You don't like the coaches? Leave. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Either way, I also think that he was good, but not elite. Not a must re-sign if you ask me.
