13 sack guy is a lot harder to find than a 1000 yard receiver, especially when you have an MVP at QB.

I’d love Garrett, but if it’s costing you a $40m per year contract and all your 1st and 2nd round picks this year and maybe even next year, you can get Bosa, Jonathan Allen, and Jaire Alexander on incentive based deals plus a safety like trevon moehrig in free agency all while keep your draft picks and land a DT, edge rusher, and CB with our 3 top 60 picks for the cost of Garrett.

Agreed. He’s still only 29 years old and it’s now or never for him. He was elite at one time.

coleman for metcalf?

He was really good in their run to the super bowl.

I think this is fair. i think Shakir’s deal is a good comp for a guy like Rousseau and his value to the team. WR and D Line have similar economics now and both are good, not great players.

I’m for as many bites of the apple as possible. This defense needs 2 impact players each in the secondary and D Line. We have enough McDermott specials who are backup level guys that play a lot because they know a complicated defense. Time to take some swings at greatness. Bosa and Alexander are former All Pro’s still in their 20’s. I’d take a shot on them if price is right. Then i’d use my draft picks to move up and get one of the elite 300lb+ DT’s and one of the physical freak elite safeties. McBeane will still have 4th, 5th and 6th rounders to fill out the bottom of the roster which is their drafting strength. Bosa, Oliver, 1st round rookie DT, Rousseau with Solomon, Epenesa, Preston Smith, Carter, and a vet DT could be an upper tier D line. Then a secondary with Benford, Alexander, Taron, Rapp, Starks, Bishop would be a huge upgrade.

desperate times for the Giants.

1st rounder seems kind of steep for Metcalf. He relies on his straight line speed and he’s getting near the point in his career where he might lose a step.

Dorian is one of our few back 7 defenders who brings the wood and plays with violence. I’ll live with him being out of position sometimes in pass coverage since so many defenders in a Mcdermott defense are either soft or undersized or both.

Not my money, but I’d find a way to keep Rousseau. The cap keeps going up and NFL owners continue to print money. Is he great?… no. But he’s good, continues to get better and getting rid of him doesn’t make us better unless it’s for a draft haul or Myles Garrett.

Doubtful about Elam. Dude starts grabbing and holding as soon as ball is snapped.

He’s only 28 and was elite at one point. We need elite players.

Don’t disagree but outside of Mack can’t see any of those higher tier guys playing on a different team next year.

$17.5m for 10 sacks is a bargain. If you re-sign rousseau in the $20m per year range and you’re also playing oliver $20m+, it’s hard to go much over $17.5m for another D lineman. Landry kinda fits next to oliver and rousseau, then draft a DT in the 1st round. Maybe a swap of one of our 2nd rounders for their high 4th rounder gets it done.

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/titans-give-harold-landry-permission-to-talk-to-teams-about-a-trade This is much more realistic trade target for Bills. He’s only 28 and has 2 years left on reasonable contract.

Sounds like they’re gonna cut him. Doubt anybody’s trading for him with that money due him. I’d be cool with him or bosa on an incentive based contract,

I thought it was kinda weird how they let coleman kinda make an a$$ out of himself in interviews right after he was drafted. Bills media team seem to even highlight it because it was funny. Maybe they needed a personality in the WR room once they traded Diggs, but it really did Coleman no favors putting a larger spotlight on him before he accomplished a thing in the NFL. Almost reminds me of Mike Williams the Offensive Lineman we drafted over 20 years ago. Do something on an NFL field first before your holding court with the media.

If he replaces Elam’s roster spot, I like it. And he wouldn’t cost much more than the vet minimum. Could see McBeane making safety a priority in free agency and then drafting a CB in the 1st or 2nd round.

Mcvay and Snead aren’t gonna be held hostage by a 37 year old QB who probably doesn't have enough escapability anymore to win a a Super Bowl.

His injury history is a huge factor but he’s also just 29. Mack is 34 years old. That is a huge difference in NFL years. Bosa might still be able to give you an All Pro type year. Bosa on a prove it deal and a trade up for a stud DT in round 1 could transform the D Line and still give McBeane the ability tj sign a good CB in free agency.

Agreed. He has the talent to be the final piece. Sign him to a 1 year incentive based deal.

You can win anywhere in the NFL. If he felt so strongly he couldn’t win a super bowl with mcdermott, grow a pair and make that opinion known to pegula. If pegula inexplicably picked mcdermott over Josh, then Josh would be justified wanting out.

Trade up for one of the Michigan D tackles. Given McBeanes track record in the 1st and 2nd round, might as well use one of the extra 2nd rounders to move up.

Paying for good not great isn’t a championship formula. You can’t do the same with Rousseau who I like, but $20+million each for both Oliver and Rousseau is not a good allocation of resources.
