D521646 Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Just read this article, and not sure what Manningham is expecting by way of his actual stats? http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d8273eb24/article/giants-wr-manningham-says-leaving-team-a-near-certainty What does 160 catches in 4 years net a WR these days?

Max997 Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 he will get more then he probably deserves because of the big catch in the super bowl remember the contract Larry Brown signed after the super bowl where O'Donnell just threw the ball to him?

Yep, remember it well.. I'm not saying Manningham couldn't be a No 1 somewhere else, maybe even here, but he certainly doesn't command that kind of money. I'm curious what some here think. I'd like to have Manningham join the Bills but not for 8 Mil a year that's for sure.. Tim-
Max997 Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) id rather have Meachem but Manningham would obviously be an upgrade and nice compliment to Stevie Edited February 27, 2012 by Max997
rocwocka Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Come on man! We can find any kinda-fast-n-maybe-catch-the-ball kind of receiver for less than this brand-name-Super-Bowl-receiver, who, by the way, was open only because the Pats* decided to double Nicks and Cruz... PASS (no catch)
JStranger76 Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 He's worth 5-6 but will get at least 8. That's just how it goes in free agency man....
biggerdaddynj Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Manningham is a nice complementary receiver who will get more than he's worth. He's a serviceable #2 on his best day.
NoSaint Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I'd be surprised if he cracks 6. Probably a bit less.
NewEra Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I read that he was almost a lock to sign with the Buccs ftiw

C.Biscuit97 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 By a lot of accounts, Manningham is not the sharpest tool in the shed. He runs sloppy routes and has too many drops. He has talent for sure, but I'd be wary in investing too much money into him. I think this draft is loaded with receivers. Chances are, there is a player who will be better (and cheaper) than a guy like Manningham.
Estro Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Manningham's true worth as an okay #2, but better #3 is about $3.5 million/year, someteam will overpay in the vicinity of $5.5-6 million per year, which is way too much for him. Manningham isn't overly fast, isn't very big, so theres nothing that really stands out. Any team that gives him more than $3 mill per year is not smart.
