Antrel Rolle to New York

[Rayman]

What are you alluding to? Must've been a story I missed.

You've got selective memory. It was a big deal in the NY sports scene when he said that idiotic statement in 2008. Happened when teams reported to camp.

Just makes it funnier when you consider the money they've spent on so many free agents since then.

Nick Collins will probably replace him as highest paid in a couple of days.

After going through the archives, I vaguely recall it being a story during the summer after the Giants won the Super Bowl. The Cowboys spent an assload of dollars in restructuring/resigning their players. Tuck was pissed the Cowboys were (again) a hot team according to predictions for the Super Bowl.

Since then, the Giants sure have spent so much "on so many free agents since then." :laughing:

The Giants spent little money that off-season. They spent more money in the 2009 off-season, signing Boley, Bernard and Canty.

Hardly a Redskins'-caliber laundry list.

What a horrific signing. Guy is practically the Antonio Cromartie of Safeties.

He is an impact player -- when he doesn't blow coverage or get completely burnt. I agree hes overrated but he'll shine on the Giants defense. The pressure those guys get up front makes any secondary player 10x better than they are.

 

[Rayman]

You're just a fan of another team in the division, stop hating. I know Cowboys fans are jealous, id hate getting swept too.

Nothing to hate. You went 8-8.



At any rate, Arizona already has a replacement safety on the way. Trade for a certain safety is about 95% done.

This year's Chris Canty.

He's a nice player, but not that nice that he deserves that kind of money.

We could of signed Jesus and you would have called him 'This year's Chris Canty'


hater.

You could've signed a bum off the street to a record contract, and when he called him "This year's Chris Canty" your response would have been exactly the same.


homer.

 

[CrimsonGhost56]

i think "this years roy williams" fits a little better

What the fuck are talking about?

Both work. I'm glad you can admit it was a horrendous deal.

What the fuck are talking about?

You're either really stupid or just playing stupid because you know you're looking like a moron for trying to defend this signing. Either way I don't really care.

 

[Rayman]

Scrub Cowboys fans hating. Getting Rolle will just solidify the sweep this year too. GTFO fagboys

lol!

Oh, this guy is gonna be tons of fun.

 

[strahanfan92]

What do you mean? He's 27 years old. We payed him big bucks in an uncapped year. Why would I rip a signing of a guy who hasn't been on the field as a Giant yet? It's not my money. All I know it's an upgrade over the retards in the position last year.

According to the National Football Post's Michael Lombardi, there's "major concern" inside the Giants organization that SS Kenny Phillips' surgically repaired knee won't fully heal.

"He has bone on bone right now," says Lombardi. This report is interesting because the Giants have been staunchly optimistic in public statements about Phillips. Coach Tom Coughlin denied Saturday that the Antrel Rolle signing was in any way related to Phillips, though speculation exists to the contrary. Phillips is targeting OTAs for a return to the field.

Defend this signing? How is it horrible?

The only way you can say this is a bad signing at this point is if you belief Rolle is a bum.

Clearly, he is not.

Been on vacation all last week so a bit late to the party here:

Total overpayment on the Giants part, even with no cap I thank Parcell's and company they didn't budge on their offer to Rolle who really wanted Miami first. We learned with Gibril "shitbag" Wilson last year. Luckily the no-cap year has bailed us out of his contract.

Antrell Rolle is not worthy of the moniker of being the highest paid safety in league history....whether it is for 1hr, 1 day, or 1 year. Even though I am a U of M guy.....

lol people are too stuck on money

He improves the Giants awful secondary. Period.

If he doesn't live up to the expectations of that kind of money, you and all the other Giants fans will.

If another team paid that kind of cash to him, you'd be saying the same thing.

I have no problem admitting when my team vastly overpays for marginal talent (Roy Williams being the latest example). Why don't you?

Of course they overpaid for him, I admitted that when they signed him.

However, it's not a ridiculous signing to me b/c it fills a HUGE need.

 

[DJ Rhude]

Like I said in the chatbox the other day, yeah we overpaid but Rolle is not a bum and he won't be Chris Canty pt deux.....we have a tremendous need back there and Rolle will fill that void....if we spent a few more bucks to improve, so be it....

CC Brown, Michael Johnson and Aaron Rouse (who we just cut) will do that to a GM
