2014 NFL Season

After yesterday, I would be depressed to be a Giants fan. I think signing Schwartz was a great move, but given they could have gotten Schofield and Jennings for under $2M combined easily last July. I'm not sure what they saw out of Schofield's 144 snaps last year that warrants him going from about $900,000 to $8M for 2 years. Jennings I would start questioning his age at this point (I think he's past his prime), and they're giving him almost $2M when it could have been about $630,000 last summer.

And don't get me started on Peyton Hills.

I think the most interesting thing yesterday was the Saints signing Jarius Byrd, because it tells me they don't expect to hold on to Jimmy Graham. They're going to have to restructure a ton of contracts to cover him in the future, plus the Falcons and Bucs got significantly better yesterday. Of course, the Saints have the same issue the Broncos had this season (lots of stars at the top, and next to nobody in terms of backups). We'll see what happens in the draft, but I think the Saints need to stay incredibly healthy to have any chance of winning another SB.

But nah not depressed, I think the Giants have made good moves overall, they usually draft well, we shall see but so far so good.

I knew the name Geoff Schwartz but just looked into him, PFF had him as their highest ranked FA  O lineman, and Giants got him for a good price, so I'm quite happy. 

Resigning Stevie Brown was big, if he can return to 2012 form that'd be THREE good safeties. And good to have insurance in case Rolle goes back to sucking, or Will Hill can't stay out of trouble  McBride was a very solid CB, so as always Giants have made not flashy moves but overall I'm happy so far. The RB situation is screwy but eh...not too concerned. 

Don't get me wrong though, Hillis is a far cry from his glory years. He at least showed heart and/or strength. Our other backs are all too small or too broken. Like how it took Brandon Jacobs 5 tries I think to get that 1 yd TD, it used to take him only 3!
