I think he'll be returning twice a year. When we play the Cowboys.

I wouldn't mind him coming back to the Giants. He's a good player.

Bring him back at a drastically reduced price and I'd be very happy. His play dropped off severely last season

I wouldn't mind him coming back to the Giants. He's a good player. He wouldn't be the first player to realize that he isn't worth what he believes he is worth. It is a good approach with the Giants to let guys test the waters then sign them at a much more reasonable level with less hard feelings. He can help us at the right price for sure Rosey.

I'd love to get him back but for some reason he strikes me as a guy who - all things being equal - would take the deal elsewhere.

Wouldn't mind having DRC back at all.

He had lost some of his quickness last season. Still, DRC at the right price will be an asset.

Yes, he did lose a step... but, a hard hitting, wily vet that will definitely help our secondary.

Can someone explain on why?
He had some good years with the Giants. But It time to part ways.
I am not trying to be daddy downer . I do don't see him as a fix for the coverage problems
We had one of the worst secondaries in the league last year.
We have 2 corners under contract that we can not cut due to cap implications. ( both are much younger and can improve)
Our safeties are slow and let the Wideouts get behind them.
32 year old corner = burned.
We need youth at corner not age.

I agree he had a lousy year last year but then again who on the Giants didn't? Clearly he had issues with McAdoofus. I also agree about his age, but two years ago he was coming up with the ball every time I blinked. I say one year vet minimum if nothing else but to mentor the younger guys.....

( both are much younger and can improve) Our safeties are slow and let the Wideouts get behind them. 32 year old corner = burned. We need youth at corner not age. Well, who are these young corners that the team can turn to? Sounds good in theory, but doesn't help the current roster. Apple still has a lot to prove. If his coverage skills improve, great for the team, but teams need as many good corners as they can get. If Jenkins goes down, would you feel comfortable turning to the current group of signings on the team? Are you blaming DRC for the teams secondary problems last season? Collins and the safeties were horrible last season, and Jenkins was lost for the season at the midway point. The offense kept the defense on the field for basically 3 quarters a game, so it shouldn't have shocked anyone that the defense gassed out. Apple played poorly last season as well. Singling out DRC doesn't add up. Without DRC and C0ckrell, the pass defense would have been worse. Signing him for another season or two wouldn't hurt the team in anyway and I disagree with your 32 year old corner = burned opinion. DG should have resgned C0ckrell. He was young and showed a lot of promise. Just go back to the playoff game against GB and look at what happened to the secondary once DRC couldn't finish the game. As soon as he left, Rodgers starting carving up the corners except for Jenkins. DRC's has been greatly underappreciated by some fans.

I agree that it was a mistake not resigning Cockrell, it may be the only one Gettleman made.....

Can't hurt, can only help. A number of you say he lost a step maybe so but his experience can limit that weak part of his game. At least he doesn't run around in circles like stupid Eli Apple. He could also move to safety and be an improvement there with what we got on the roster. I would like to see how he does this year our defense needs all the help it can get.

"At least he doesn't run around in circles like stupid Eli Apple." LOL. Totally agree. Apple can't locate the ball when it's in the air, which is why he grabs receivers. Once the receiver looks back, Apple simple reaches for the jersey instead of turning his head to make a play on the ball. I hope the coaches can fix this.

Didn't the past coaches have him practicing with oven mitts on?

I wouldn't mind him coming back to the Giants. He's a good player. It would be perfect,but I kinda think he might be playing for Washington or Dallas.

As soon as he left, Rodgers starting carving up the corners except for Jenkins. DRC's has been greatly underappreciated by some fans. He is almost 2 years past that playoff game. He was mediocre at best last season . The youth is on the roster is one of those guys can possibly step up. I just do not see the value in a old corner that has to cover guys 10 years younger,. Older corners do get burned Revis ( the same age as DRC and better in his prime. ) is a poster child on how age effects coverage ability. You can not judge a corner on what he did 2 years ago. Last year was and most likely is on how age is diminishing his ability to cover. Sorry I see it for what it is. I would rather sign Breeland he is 26 and can work the slot. The facts say give him halftime homage during a game to show respect for him in a retirement ceremony and move on.

I agree and I like him a lot but we are overflowing now with bodies back there and he has missed some needed time on a new defense,I doubt the Giants are even interested. I think they are interested , I just think there are better options to explore that are in line a head of him .

No , they not only have shown no interest in him ,they don't have the cap space for him. I get your point and I can agree with all of it. , He made the cryptic statement . I think it is a bit child like . If you are going say something . Man up and spit it out. I stand by what I say . He is 32 and has shown he is declining . It was not a few games. It was the entire season.

I’m surprised he hasn’t signed with a team yet. Still has gas left in the tank, I would welcome him back with open arms.

Would he really give 100% if he came back? I would ask that of any player in the same circumstance.
