kkr Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Baas has also renegotiated his contract, i.e. dropped his salary from $3m to $900k meaning he gets $2.1m upfront as bonus money which is then spread out over the remaining years of his deal. More space to work with anyway. A Goff resigning around the corner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 T2 news is absoloutely brilliant! Man did we miss him last year. Thanks for the link as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 4 years $28.4m with £11-12m guaranteed! There is an option on the contract so i would imagine that it is after year one to protect us against re-injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 CB's Coe and Tryon resigned. Great news about Tryon especially as the coaching staff were talking him up as making an impact and being impressive before he tackled Reggie Bush with a broken arm and ended up on IR. Nice depth at CB now. The following is from Garafolo: Confirming: TE Martellus Bennett on his way here for a visit. Team has identified him as their top target. This could get done quickly. #nyg Pleased with that. In Dallas he has been criticised for effort and drops but i think he hasnt really been given a chance. He is a big target at 6'6 and a decent blocker and in Mike Pope we have the best TE coach in the league so i think he could be a beast for us.

kkr Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Also signed TE Larry Donnell and OT Joel Reinders. Never heard of either of those so i am assuming they are some young guys/camp fodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Aditi Kinkhabwala @AKinkhabwala Source tells me Brandon Jacobs went to NYG HQ today to see Coughlin. Said not going to rush decision and was mellow. Reunion possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Terrell Thomas signs “prove it” deal Technically, Giants cornerback Terrell Thomas has signed a four-year $28 million deal with the Giants. Per a league source, however, it’s a one-year contract worth $2 million, with the remaining $26 million hinging on whether he plays well enough in 2012 to justify the team picking up the option. It’s a common tactic used for players who are coming back from serious injury. Indeed, the contract signed by Drew Brees six years ago in New Orleans contained the same kind of provision, forcing Brees to prove that his shoulder had healed before unlocking much bigger money. In Thomas’ case, he tore an ACL in the 2011 preseason — the second time in the same knee. And as to the $11 million in guaranteed money that Thomas is due to earn? It’s actually an $11 million option bonus, non-guaranteed. There’s no reason to think he won’t play well enough to deserve the payment, if he’s healthy. But last year Ravens cornerback Domonique Foxworth wasn’t the same guy a year after tearing an ACL. If Thomas isn’t the same guy in 2012, his new contract won’t extend into 2013. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 Martellus Bennett signed for 1 year $2.5m. Good deal, 1 year to see what we have got and then if he excels we can extend him further or franchise. That is Mike Pope there already getting to work!

BerniesElbow Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Payton Hillis signed with Kansas City. Local sports talk show host, Tony Rizzo said that being a Cleveland Browns fan is like being the kid at Christmas that never gets any presents. I'm beginning to understand what he meant.

leviramsey Posted March 18, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 18, 2012 The 49ers'll have a very good offense next year even if it's Alex Smith under center. Moss, Davis, Manningham, and Gore? Who do you shut down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Gore. Look at the NFC game, shut down their running game and they can't do anything. Smith is fine at not turning the ball over, but he won't score you points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 You now have to stop Brandon Jacobs who has signed for them also. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Was sure he would be back, all the best to him anyway. Clearly SF have taken the approach of if you cant beat them, then sign all their free agents.
