Sport says we saved $3.6 mill.
OTC says we would only save $171k
Reporters said $3.6 mill
Wish these 2 websites could figure out the correct numbers on Blake and other Giants.
They also differ on KG by 4 mill.

Hmmm, even if he soon realizes his market value is lower he likely won't take that deal from the Giants opting instead to take the same deal from some other team. I never understood that, I guess it's a pride thing. Yeah, pride is an honorable trait …. |

Saves almost $3.7MM in cap space. That was quick. Yeah, that's too much to ignore if he wasn't performing at preinjury level. It is just business, precipitated by the salary cap jail that DG put us in. |

If it is $3.7 not $170k that means Sportrac got it right while OTC got it wrong. That is interesting for another player.

Our Inside linebackers are now a weak unit according to our cap spending. We are only spending 1.3% of the cap on inside linebackers.

Wow... We are really going to struggle on defense this year. Who plays #1 MLB? Tae Crowder? wasn't that the case last year? I honestly don't remember complaining that much about the middle of the field on Defense last year. He can probably do better in the passing game and pass rushing game than blake anyway. I could be totally wrong and prob am. Either way, tae has played well, but should not be a guy we rely on. CB, and LB might be a big issue, no scratch that, will be a big issue on defense this season. Tae wasn't terrible We have 2 other guys that can rotate in next to him |

Him not being Voted Captain was Shocking and Strange to me, clearly it is something they will keep in house but good luck to Blake I'm sure he will be picked up quickly

So Art and Sporttrac says we saved $3.6 mill but Dan and OTC says we only saved $177k.
Which is it???
Dan also says we would have saved $2mill if we cut Blake in March.
Wish these contract sites and reporters could agree on the numbers.

don't know if this affected anything but also think the GM & coaches have been impressed w/ McFadden and see him as a potential tackling machine like Martinez but with more range & downhill juice to get to the QB....

Wondering if his play had noticeably slipped in practice.... I didn't really notice him in the games my son replied to my comment on the book saying he isn't the same player or didnt appear in the preseason games. But shit none of the defensive starters played that dang much so it had to me more so practice I'd think............. |

Damn! Didn’t even consider it but it makes perfect sense. I bet they’re afraid he’s going to break. Age would play a part. It’s a smart move, but why not a trade?

Another piece of the DG cleansing gone. To be fair he was good in 2020 For sure, it wasn’t meant as a shot a Blake just a statement of fact. He’s already 29, coming off an injury, maybe he can go to a good team and play for something in his last few years, that wasn’t going to happen here. Wish him luck outside of the NFCE. This team just got that much worse. It kinda feels like full on tank mode. From the time Schoen got here, he was rumored to pretty much have everyone available for trade or draft picks (with the exception of a few). This is a true rebuild, tear it completely down and build from the bottom up, not that DG half assed bullshit. |

Coming off an ACL. They may not have been thrilled with what they saw. The other side of the coin says this is another starter we threw aside that could have been important to the D, but we had to keep digging out of the Salary Cap Gettlemess. I’d say it’s a delusion to hope for more than 7 wins this year.

I'd say this qualifies as our WTF moment of the off season. Ridding yourself of one of your best players and team leaders who was clearly not overpaid is difficult to understand.

And to run the defense the way they describe, we need ballers! They never sign a significant name at LB worth a shit. These guys can’t cover, can’t blitz, they are just bodies. |

The season hasn’t begun, and I’m ready for it to be over.

There were whispers of someone's deal being possibly restructured. It looks like he was the one asked, refused to do it, and was effectively released. He had already done that. |

Name me a position not weak on defense... Pass rusher? Gotta be it... I think we have a good D-line I think we are really thin though there. Do we have a NT this year? Goinng to need one to clog and get double teams with Blake out now. Pass rusher is Ojulari and an unproven Thibs. L Williams will get pressure up the middle. Other than that, not really impressive IMO. The only way this defense doesn't get shredded is if our pass rush is top shelf. |

This is what a proper rebuild looks like. There are going to be a few moves that catch us off guard.
I like the fact we seem content running the young players out onto the field and letting them prove their worth. We won’t be any good in 2-3 years if the young guys don’t develop, and the best way to learn is by taking a few lumps.
