Go_Giants Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Move we needed to make now we have some flexibility to sign free agents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acgott Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Finally, hopefully this gives us a little flexibility. Paid him more than he’s worth, but we have a bad GM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, or we need to franchise him again in 3 years lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny92mike Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Why such a short extension. I don't get it. This team doesn't have a single contract beyond 2023, so why not sign him long term? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reese did that with Vernon, Snacks and Jenkins. In the end it did not worked out and it tied up cap space. We have potential big contracts with Saquon and DJ. Short term deals gives us cap flexibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a Do if you do, do if you don’t scenario. I don’t really have an issue with it. It could be Williams wanted a short deal to hit another contract @ 30.

I think signing Williams to a 3 year deal was bad. Even if the Giants end up keeping Barkley and DJ, the team has the future cap to sign these guys along with several others long term.

y*so*blu Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Gettleman overpaid, but at least it's not a long commitment and it gives us room to breathe. We'll see whether Leo really is that good or was just playing for the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be Williams wanted a short deal to hit another contract @ 30. Perhaps, I wouldn't think so with as much talk about a long term deal getting done. You'd think he'd be looking for a 5 year deal. Just not a fan of how Dave conducts business, not that what he did here is wrong I just would have extended it out longer especially with no one under contract beyond '23. Perhaps covid is playing a role with some of these contracts. At the end of the day, I'm glad we at least got him for 3 years, now I'm waiting for the bomb to drop and we hear that he's been traded...lol.

He was in a better system and worked hard to translate pressures into sacks. It paid off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
