Chip Kelly has been very arrogant this off-season. Good coach, but that's why can't give certain coaches full control. If he thinks his system can overcome the lack of good talent, he's kidding himself.
http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/gi...brandon-graham-blog-entry-1.2142958?cid=bitlyThe Giants are one of several teams pursuing Eagles defensive end/linebacker Brandon Graham, and it’s possible he could be their first free-agent signing when the market opens at 4 p.m. on Tuesday. An NFL source confirmed their interest and that they’re one of a handful of teams the 26-year-old is considering.
He is also reportedly drawing interest from the Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans. Meanwhile, there were conflicting reports on whether the Philadelphia Eagles were attempting to lure him back.
The 6-2, 265-pound Graham had 5 ½ sacks last year playing mostly at linebacker in Chip Kelly’s 3-4 defense. He last played defensive end in 2012 when he also had 5 ½ sacks. But he’s been a part-time player for most of his five-year NFL career, and is considered to have some untapped potential.
Graham, after all, was once a first-round draft pick – drafted 13th overall in 2010, just two spots before the Giants took Jason Pierre-Paul. The Giants obviously just “franchised” JPP at the cost of $14.8 million and they also have defensive end Robert Ayers and Damontre Moore. But defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo wants a deep rotation of speedy pass rushers that he potentially could even play together along the defensive line. And that’s what the Giants have been looking for in the early hours of free agency.
Unfortunately for them, the market has been wild and the numbers have been huge. Jerry Hughes, another defensive end they were eyeing, re-signed with the Buffalo Bills for five years, $45 million and $20 million guaranteed. Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, of course, broke the bank with a six-year, $114 million deal from the Miami Dolphins with $60 million guaranteed.
how bout the suh signing??? you on board with it and the terms???
Yes. I was shocked at the numbers when they were first announced but then I went back and did more research and learned that Reggie White's deal in 1993 made him the third highest paid player in the league at the time. I just created a thread about it with some of the comparative numbers.
Another bad move. NOW is the time you want to see what Jordan can do on the edge.. with Suh on the line. Hopefully Jordan is still putting on weight and adding strength (with all that juice he was taking last year)
