Kawika Comin'?
The Giants will apparently be kicking the tires on UFA LB Kawika Mitchell. As blog readers will recall, he was one of the guys we were talking about on the first night of FA. He's basically a two down run force LB, but he's young and healthy and we can scheme coverage around his shortcomings.UPDATE: I think Mitchell is a Giant. Also, he was not the only non-Giant at the Stadium today, so there may be other news.
FURTHER UPDATE: There were SEVERAL players in taking physicals for the Giants today. Could not confirm any names, but several implies a good number.
SOME GOOD NEWS: The Giants got a comp pick! #41 in the 7th round. We can't trade it, but we now have 8 overall picks with 2 in the 7th. I think we need 10 or 11 picks.

Looks like there is no deal for spikes
or Wilson.
lol you know one of them is gonna go to the eagles though and have a healthy year
without a doubt.
Is it one of the three or a combination of two?
We need two LB's, I am not sure if anyone on our roster would work as a starter. I like the names mentioned but not at the cost or with the baggage they would bring.
I guess we'll find out.
I still hold out hope however remote it is for Briggs.
talk about costing too much...
I think he is the best option, and agree he will cost too much. I hope we wind up with 2 LB's of the group.
Kawika could be a nice addition for the Giants and a definite upgrade over what we had. I hope the Giants can work this out.
takeo spikes there for a physical
could be. I expect Spikes or Wilson to still join us.
Finally some good news :)
seems like their finally hitting some needs before they're forced to on Day 1 of the draft.
Any word on why it's only a 1 year deal? (Schefter has it on NFL.com) Will Spikes or Wilson be leaked today as well?
probably for cap flex and so Wilson can hit FA again at 28. Players have done that when they weren't getting the multi-years they wanted in first FA.
We'll see if anything else leaks today, if it's a trade like Wilson or Spikes, it probably will.
(m123)I like the thinking. At this point given both of their injury concerns which of the two would you prefer Spikes or Wilson? I myself would prefer Spikes based on upside. I hope it's him we get
I'd take whoever has the better medical prognosis.
Garafolo and Staple say it's done. Good Job Phil!! Can we expect Spikes or Wilson as well today?
maybe. I know there was a lot of traffic there today.
That's what we want to hear traffic, leading to deals. Let's go Jerry!! 1 year 1 million is a great deal b/c he will be motivated to earn a big payday next offseason.
Just got back...1 year 1 million not bad at all...i doubt we make any more moves LB wise
I've always heard 2 before the draft and still think so.
i wouldnt be suprised, but the way this FA market has been i wouldnt expect it...
p.s. how did Igawa pitch today
I agree with the thinking of getting 2 prior to the draft. Whomever we may draft can have time to develop rather then being forced to play. If the price is right and the doctors clear him I am on board for Spikes.
Igawa was good. He's coming along and his breaking stuff is freezing guys right now.
I've been trying to confirm whether or not Spikes was in for a physical for the past few hours. Don't have a direct response on it yet and now I'm off to a meeting. So stay tuned and root for the Knicks till I get back!
Dan what are your thoughts on Spikes?
Good Luck on the Meeting...Spikes, I Would Love to Have Him, absolutely love it...i mean if we can give up a 4th/5th round pick for him it would a great trade...guy got hurt two years ago only injury and people are crying that hes injury prone...Pierce/Spikes/Mitchell would be a consistend LB Group
and i would say if we were to get Wilson or Spikes...We will draft a WR in the first round, most likely Jarrett
Thank you Dan. I want Spikes if he is healthy, he has talent.
I would have no complaints with that at all taking Jarrett in Rd 1. Are you hearing anything further on Spikes or Wilson?
Good Luck with the meeting!
I heard wilson was dead dead and more dead and with Spikes i heard there was little interest but Phil has much better resources to hear things
Okay, guys, back from the meeting and check the update! Several players were given physicals for the Giants today.
no idead though if any of the guys were Spike
No clue, but I wouldn't be surprised if one was.
im suprised nothing is being leaked for anyone there today...JR is really making these physicals very quiet
Not only have leaks been plugged, but they don't even meet with everyone at the complex.
well according to this http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2813818&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines.....serious trade talks between eagles/bills and we're not even interested
we'll see how things play out. There were several players over there taking physicals today.
also eagles are looking into getting holcomb with Spikes deal....so that settles that
Its hard to even guess who could be there, their's not much players left on the FA market that will make an impact, so if i were to guess i would say gmen are gonna be signing players that will give them better depth
we'll see.
Now I am curious as to wonder whom was there?? Hopefully we hear something soon.
considering what's left out there, it's hard to come up with several, but someone who would know said several.
well Eagles officially traded for Spikes and Holcomb...Walker and Conditional 7th
and the pick is a 2008 7th round pick
looks like we will be drafting a LB with the first pick or we should be...the only LB left out there that could make a difference is Wilson
we have enough LB's with Mitchell. I still think we'll get another before the draft, but with the shape Toomer's in, we are almost certainly going WR.
i dunno i like mitchell and of course pierce but we need someone else who would be a good fit
but it doesn't have to be a first rounder. Willis will be gone and he's the only first rounder worth it. Poz and Timmons are overrated.
lol so is this giants defense...and the only WR i see us drafting is Jarrett
Redskins talking trade for briggs...swap of first round picks
could be Jarrett, could be Meachem, could be Bowe.
Mitchell might not even be a done deal
bs. Abramson got it done while Reese was out of town with the owners. They'll come back tomorrow and make it "official."
on a totally off topic question, did you see the movie pursuit of happiness...i just saw a commercial for it and it looked good
p.s. How did ur meeting go today
I didn't and my meeting went great.
well good to hear about your meeting
thanks. At the beginning of FA, after the two big targets were off the market, the plan was supposedly to sign and announce a few at a time. I think we're close to seeing that.
lol we only have signed one so far
and we've announced NONE.
Ian Scott is not signing with Atlanta.
I wonder what signing is announced first...any kind of giant FA move or Clemens signing with the Yanks
On the Scott front, why isnt he even mentioned to be linked to the Gmen as possible teams
he's been mentioned with the Giants before.
