Doc Brown

Giants have a desperate GM and head coach. Accepted

I just wonder if there's any team knowing how much he wants that's willing to trade with us and then sign him. I doubt it.

I compare it to a stimulus check. It means a lot more to the people struggling to pay their rent than those who can put it in savings.

The two best rushing seasons of all time was OJ's in '73 and Brown's in '63. Josh's best year statistically was in 2020 but Rodgers posted absurd numbers that year. It's definitely OJ though of the three.

Time to go full out Eagles and used their void year approach to contracts Beane while Josh is in his prime.

They were victims of their own success. The Chiefs game was a stark reminder of how the defense and coaching continues to let us down against a very beatable Chiefs team. Every injury he's had over the last two years have been on either QB designed runs or scrambles.

Not really a spicy claim. It struck me odd that Cook's agent told Schefter that he was playing on MNF despite being questionable. Great game to showcase your client. It was even weirder that he didn't play. I expected something like this to happen once the season ended because his agent obviously doesn't like to work behind the scenes and I don't think Cook does this without his agent's directive. As far as Barkley goes, the rest of their foundation was strong enough they could afford that luxury. Their wasn't a glaring weakness on that Eagles team. Barkley is an amazing RB but only managed 3.9ypc being the bad Giants o-line in 2023. The Bills have too many holes on the rest of their roster to give a RB $15m a year. If there was ever a time to sell high for Cook it would be now given his TD's are likely to regress towards the mean next year and he was great in that KC playoff game. Plus, it was the year of the Renaissance of the running back. If he's not traded I fully expect him to hold out and it'll be fascinating to watch as he'll be the first player ever to do so in McBeane's eight years here. I guess I've seen enough examples over the years of never giving running backs second contracts when their value is at an all time high. Fans, ownership, GM's, etc. will sometimes become emotionally attached to a running back and it will cloud their judgment when giving out big contracts.

When I saw his agent saying he'd play against the Jets and then he didn't I knew what he was all about.

Did the NFL try and pin it on Incognito so they didn't have to address a broader problem in the league? Probably and that's pathetic. Still not a fan of Incognito the person though.

True. He hurt his hip I believe during the Covid year but it was a surprise the Lions didn't franchise tag him after him going to the Pro Bowl the year before. Never really recovered for it and yet still got $40m guaranteed from the Giants.

Maybe Kenny Golladay but that's pry stretching it a bit.

Probably my favorite tweet of the Josh Allen era.

Things would be so much simpler if they just did what I wanted and traded up for Brian Thomas Jr. last year. Lol. I doubt they go the free agency route at least this off-season. Bengals will pry re-sign Higgins and Darius Slayton doesn't really move the needle for me. My hope is they re-sign Cooper to a one year deal. Give him a full off-season in the system and develop some more chemistry with Josh. I have no clue how they'll address the outside WR long term.

It's not the right valuation. I think he'll get a 3 year contract extension that pays him $15m per year (a little more than Darnell Mooney) over the next four years which I'd have no problem with. Love the YAC ability and finding soft spots in zones. Just wish he was a better route runner.

Chase Brown (a 5th round pick) was just as efficient in the Bengals offense in 2024 as Mixon was in 2023. His cap hit was $956k last year compared to the $10m that Mixon got with the Texans. If Beane doesn't pay him (I don't think he should) than it'll be interesting if he trades him and takes a RB in a deep RB draft or plays hardball with him and dares him to sit out the season.
