Lazy. Why stop at 3? The man has 8 additional fingers (thumbs included).

With Thornhill pitching and Deshaun underneath the center, how could a Hardman resist?

DeShaun can bring a Hardman to his massage appointments again without immediately getting accused of assault.

They changed their phone number... it's 216-474-0092

Wishing Parris the best but going to a run heavy team to be their #3 or #4 option might not work out so well.

Expanding on this, here are Parris's incentives with the Giants

$200k each at 4 TD, 6 TD, and 8 TD
-In the 4 year Daniel Jones era, only 4 times has a Giants WR eclipsed 4 TD. 2019 Darius Slayton (8), 2019 Golden Tate (6), 2022 Richie James (4), and 2022 Isaiah Hodgins (4)

$200k each at 55 catches, 65 catches, 75 catches
-In the 4 year Daniel Jones era, only 3 times has a Giants WR eclipsed 55 catches. 2019 Sterling Shepard (57), 2020 Sterling Shepard (66), and 2022 Richie James (57)

$200k each at 700 rec yards, 800 rec yards, and 900 rec yards
-In the 4 year Daniel Jones era, only 3 times has a Giants WR eclipsed 700 catches. 2019 Darius Slayton (740), 2020 Darius Slayton (751), and 2022 Darius Slayton (724)

-$100k each if he leads the team in catches or rec yards or rec TDs

So Parris joines the WR corp of Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, Sterling Shepard, and Wan'Dale Robinson. Plus the Giants brought in Darren Waller and pass to Saquon as much as any of their receivers. But it's not a super impressive receiving corp so maybe he can raise to the top, but even then majority of the incentives seem unlikely for him to hit.

Looks like we have a hype video on our hands.

It’s time to hold somebody accountable…

QB - Sink or swim time for Mond
RB - Sink or swim time for Ford
WR - Sink or swim time for Bell and Woods
TE - Yes do this
DE - Sink or swim time for Wright and Thomas
DT - Yes do this or sign Matt Ioannidis
LB - Yes do this
LB - Yes do this
S - Yes do this

 

[Dr. Claw]

Martin Emerson took his gig. It's fine, let him try to establish a career.

love it for the Eagles for depth purposes. Even though Bradberry and Slay are back. More guys than less.

As for what's left?
I've now moved to the Mecole Hardman train. Loved that Thornhill recruited on the way in. A speedy guy who can run routes, do all the gadget stuff, sure handed. In the offense that I expect to see this upcoming season?

Bring back Walker.

 

[Out of the Rafters at the Q]

QB - Sink or swim time for Mond

I think I agree. I'm usually in the boat of "Well, if Watson goes down, we're fucked anyways" but after seeing Minshew sign for only 3.5M, I think a quality backup can be had for cheap and I wouldn't be against it.

RB - Sink or swim time for Ford

Ford should inherit the Hunt role as a change of pace guy. We still need someone who can be the primary back if Chubb goes down--DEJ can fill that role at a bottom of the barrel price. I'd like to bring him back--but if we don't, I'm fine addressing the role with a pick on day 3 in this year's stacked RB draft.

WR - Sink or swim time for Bell and Woods

I still think a third WR would greatly benefit this team.

TE - Yes do this

Sure, if he's cheap.

DE - Sink or swim time for Wright and Thomas

Yeah, I agree. We don't need to spend more money there. Plus Fowler is not the kind of player I'd want--I'd want a more stout, edge-setting guy to complement 007 instead of duplicating him with a lighter pass rusher.

DT - Yes do this or sign Matt Ioannidis

Agreed--plus Calais can play some edge in an emergency.

LB - Yes do this
LB - Yes do this

I'm good with Walker. Not so sure about Ragland.

S - Yes do this

I plead ignorance. I'm not familiar with Kalu outside of knowing he played for the Titans so there might be some Schwartz familiarity there.

 

[Soar]

Since the Pats signed Gesicki, could see Parham happen soon if the initial reports about Pats and Browns being the interested teams for Parham was accurate.

Which one of you idiots is to blame for this?

90 of Akins' 151 career catches came from Watson.
