The terms of DT Linval Joseph's deal with the Vikings, per @AdamSchefter: 5 years, $31.5 million. #NYG


Not sure why we wouldn't offer him $6 million a year.... everyone assumed he was going to break the bank considerably at like $8 million... Don't understand this at all

What are the Giants doing? Seriously.. $4m for a scrub linebacker and resigning Stevie Brown when we already have two starting safeties.. Yet they let Joseph walk and will probably lose Beason over $1-2m..

I'm losing patience with this cheap as fuck organization. You can say you love them all you want xnoz but they are losing it.. slowly but surely..

Also, what are they doing at the TE position? Just gonna roll with Robinson and Pascoe? Give me a break..you're telling me they couldn't dish out $2.5m to pick up a guy like John Carlson? He would at least give us a serviceable option..

I smelled this coming a mile away.. Another disappointing off-season with the New York cheap as fuck Giants.

Schwartz was a GREAT signing... so happy we got him

Since he entered the league, Geoff Schwartz has a +4.3 @PFF grade per 100 snaps played, 4th-best rate of any guard in the NFL.



1. Geoff Schwartz

2013 Grade: +18.6
2013 Snaps: 549

Summary: You would be hard pressed to find a larger interior lineman than the 6-foot-6, 340-pound mountain that is Geoff Schwartz. You’d also be hard pressed to find a better bargain at the position last season. The veteran guard came over from Minnesota in the offseason on a one-year, $700k contract and played at an elite level when given the chance. While there are no ’big name’ guards hitting free agency, Schwartz has played as well as any not named Evan Mathis on a per-snap basis the last two years. The Oregon product has an overall grade of +24.1 in 792 snaps (full season is typically 1000+ snaps) since he missed the whole 2011 season with a hip injury.

After filling in at left and right guard early in the season, Schwartz finally took over as the full time right guard in Week 11 at Denver. He never ended up giving the job back to teammate Jon Asamoah and Schwartz was predictably brilliant down the stretch. He started the last seven games of the season and compiled an overall grade of +14.4. While he had a superb year in pass protection with a pass blocking efficiency of 97.3 (ranked 11th), Schwartz’ calling card is his run blocking. He has elite power at the point of attack, but he also rarely gets beat cleanly. He had the sixth-lowest percentage of run snaps that took a downgrade among all guards. At 28 years old, Schwartz looks to be the prize of this year’s free agent guard class.

I like him. He's much cheaper and Im not big fan of Hester. I know he's good and stuff but he wouldn't come cheap plus teams are getting smarter when they kick return vs him. They'd just kick it over behind.

I'm going to reserve judgement until the contract details come out on O'Brien. Fuck you I love Stevie Brown lol... and its a great "show me" contract.

I'm pissed about losing Linval..... :(


I'm not sure what we're doing but I do trust them. Have patience my friend.

Thank you to the @Giants for a great opportunity. I had a great experience working there. First class organization with great people!



I can't overstate enough how many players love our organization.... I love to hear stuff like this

I'm not completely disappointed.. I like the Jennings signing.. It'll take a bit more to make me happy with our OL. I just don't understand how they could let Joseph walk like that.. He's been arguably the most important piece on our defense for the past 3-4 years. It looks like we might be able to keep Beason too. I just really wanted to keep Joseph and Beason... would have solidified the interior of our front 7.

I really like the idea of Jacoby Jones becoming a Giant though. We need a returner BAD and he can give us that, along with another weapon on offense.

If they can sign Jones, a tight end and another offensive lineman I'll be happy.

And I know you disagree with this but they need to get one of the top 3 tackles in the draft at 12. I don't care who it is, we need one of them and they need to play well at LT.

One of the top 3 tackles in the draft - Schwartz/Pugh - Pugh/FA?? - Snee/Pugh/Schwartz - Beatty/Pugh

Snee or Beatty should lose their job this year. If both of them are starting this season then the Giants didn't do enough to sure up our offensive line.
