March 8, 200719 yr I've heard the Giants are negotiating with DT Ian Scott. I've also heard the Giants might be considering trades with the Bears for LB Lance Briggs (not likely) and with the Broncos for CB Dre Bly (also not likely). Also just heard Adam Schefter said that WR Kevin Curtis visited the Giants today. Also heard that the Giants are interested in LB Donnie Edwards SD...
March 8, 200719 yr It sounds like former Raven Jamal Lewis is making a visit to Cleveland soon. It will be his first visit to another team since Baltimore cut him. If the Browns sign him, rumor is they might cut Droughns so they don't have to pay him the bonus he is due. Not sure if this would be good/bad. If they draft Peterson, IMO Lewis or Droughns could be a good compliment back. If it makes sense financially to sign Lewis and cut Droughns, I say do it...

It is a done deal, Lewis signed with the Browns tonight. Not sure if Droughns is still going to be there or not, but it is official that Lewis is a Cleveland Brown. Hopefully he can get healthy and do to the rest of the division what he has done to us over the last few years. Not sure on the $$$ or years...
March 8, 200719 yr Giants are interested in Donnie Edwards, have made offers to Rhodes, may be interested in S Deon Grant as well. One more note before I finish for the night: The Giants are interested in former Chargers LB Donnie Edwards, according to someone familiar with the team's plans. But the person said it's not likely the Giants will be able to meet Edwards' price tag. Even though Edwards will be 34, he'll get paid in this free-agent market after recording 141 tackles, 2 1/2 sacks and three INTs last year. Actually, let me add a few things here that might not make tomorrow's paper (We never run out of cyberspace!): RB Dominic Rhodes isn't getting the kind of offers he would prefer from the Giants right now. Nor is CB Rod Hood. The Giants are interested in both players, but only want them at their price (Sound familiar? It's the approach they've been taking since the Shaun O'Hara negotiations). Someone familiar with Rhodes' thinking said the Giants' offer might be low but it doesn't appear to be so bad they won't be able to compromise if need be. But Rhodes has visited the Bills and Titans, and if either team steps up with a big offer, the Giants won't put up much of a fight. As for Hood, the best spot in his mind (all $$$ being equal), according to somebody who speaks to him, is East Rutherford. He would have a chance to beat out a few guys for playing time (perhaps even a starting job) and defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo thinks highly of him from his days in Philly. If the Giants come close to what the Saints, Cardinals and Browns are offering, Hood would sacrifice a bit of money to wear blue. Right now, the preliminary talks, which continued today, haven't put the Giants in that ballpark. But believe me, before Hood signs, he'll give the Giants a chance to pony up. Kind of like Jay Feely did. (And we all saw how that turned out.) Also, keep an eye on S Deon Grant over the next few days. He wants to stay in Jacksonville, but the Giants want a safety. He's apparently on their radar. http://blog.nj.com/ledgergiants/
March 8, 200719 yr These moves have hurt Peterson and helped Quinn IMO. I retract my prediction on Quinn even though he has major issues missing open guys while not under pressure.
March 8, 200719 yr With the signing of JLewis will Peterson still be on their radar? Hard to pass on that type of talent but Droughns and Lewis could fill the gap for them to look elsewhere now, I'm sure they hope Detroit goes for another WR.
March 9, 200719 yr Like any good safety, Deon Grant needed to have the right type of timing and anticipation. The Jaguars safety traveled to Seattle after they went one for three in the big free agent sweepstakes, landing defensive end Patrick Kerney but losing guard Kris Dielman and tight end Daniel Graham. Unwilling to lose Grant to the New York Giants or other teams, the Seahawks stepped up and made Grant the third highest paid safety in football, giving him a six-year deal in excess of $30 million a year.

March 9, 200719 yr Should the Bengals cut ties with Chris Perry? Would it save any money and allow us to sign anyone at this point?
March 9, 200719 yr Should the Bengals cut ties with Chris Perry? Would it save any money and allow us to sign anyone at this point? Who would you like them to sign? The market is going nuts right now, and there aren't really any great players left to sign..
March 10, 200719 yr Who would you like them to sign? The market is going nuts right now, and there aren't really any great players left to sign.. I'm not sure who is still available, but i'm really concerned about our LB corp.
