This was one of those Eli Manning games that we all have seen before. Eli gets in odd funky games every year. He is usually good for 2-4 really bad games Did this last game seal his fate as the Giants QB in 2018?
I think most GMs will love to be in this situation. Think about it. You have most of the pieces in place here. If Eli is cut or agrees to lift his no trade clause to go the a team he wants to go too. The Giants will be sitting on a 2 pick in every round of the draft. Around 40 million in cap space if Eli is cut and 46 million if traded. Not including players like Jerry, Marshall, DRC and Harris potentially being cut giving the Giants 53 to 55 million under the cap So let’s assume Eli asked to be traded to the Jaguars or Broncos and the Giants get a 3rd round pick for him
As of now there really are not any good LT available through free agency other the Solder from the Patriots. Let’s think outside the box here and Mara does go in a different direction. Riddick is our new GM and McDaniels becomes our new Head Coach With the Solder agrees to become a Giant. Now Solder is our LT Jones is our Center Fluker probably returning as RG and Flowers is RT. Do we want Pugh back? He is small for a guard and has injuries that have piled up over the last few years. Let’s say no. He is not
There are a handful of guards that will be priced out the same way as Pugh. Bring one in Now they have there Line situation corrected
Box 1 checked off.
Rosen and Darnold will be there. One of them will. Let’s say the browns go Rosen.
Darnold is a Giant
Round 2 RB
Round 3 Linebacker
Round 3 manning trade CB
Round 4 FS.
Round 5. Yes WR
Round 6 let’s say CB again
No round 7. Traded for the kid from Pittsburgh
With that kind of money I’m sure a few under the radar signings will be made. Maybe a veteran RB and CB. Maybe a veteran FS and Linebacker. Maybe even a WR or a few lineman for debts. But it’s do able
