(From Miguel S.): Long-time reader, first-time writer.IYO, What's the over/under of sacks you think that the combo of Dexter Lawrence, Leo Williams, Kayvon, and Azeez can rack up? Are 32 sacks asking for too much?
(From Bruce M.) Couldn’t the NYG rework the contract of CB- J. Bradberry in any way to enable him to stay with the NYG? Or was Bradberry not willing to attempt that?
(From John G.) I have heard many reports that the Met Life Stadium turf is part of why the Giants had so many injuries, especially the non-contact lower-body injuries. Does the Giants organization have any plans to change the turf and, maybe, put in grass? What other plans have the Giants to address the injury problem?
(From Andrew G.) With Bradberry's release, both safety and corner depth is badly needed. How do you fill those roles? If McKinney or Jackson goes down for an extended period, it's gonna be a bad year for the defense.
(From Steven G.) Now that Bradberry has been released and is a free agent, what happens if his best deal ends up being an offer from the Giants? Under what circumstances, if any, could the Giants re-sign him?
Eggs, from what I recall, the suitors wanted to redo the contract and extend him, but the two sides couldn't agree. Beyond that, I'm not sure of the specifics, but I thought I saw one report where there was as much as a $5 million discrepancy in the negotiations. I also saw a report in which acquiring teams wanted the Giants to eat some of the $13.4 million base salary, so I suspect that was also a factor.
All of them, MJ. Seriously, I'm not trying to duck the question, but for a team that's coming off a four-win season, there's not a single player on the roster who shouldn't be expected to do better than he did last year.
What's up, James? If the Giants win enough games, I think it's a pretty safe bet that Daniel Jones will have proven he's the guy. If Jones wants to solidify his status as the franchise quarterback, he needs to play smart and efficient football, keep the turnovers out of his game, and elevate the talent around him while also taking the team on his shoulders across the finish line. Thus far, he's been a game manager, and that's simply not going to get it done.
