Giants in Free Agency pt.1: McCourty over Suh

I realize Twitter almost exploded when Schefter announced the Giants would be in on Suh.  That was the same day the Giants tagged JPP.   Anyway, I think it's unlikely that the Giants are after Suh since they're still trying to get JPP back, and probably won't want to have that much of their cap tied up in the DL, especially if Hankins keeps developing to a degree where they are finally willing to second contract one of their many DT picks.  Hankins, btw is turning into a great player.  So I think the Giants will spend a pick and maybe a smaller contract on another DT.

I think the guy they are more likely to go after is Pats Safety Devin McCourty.  I think the Giants were hoping for him in the second round in 2010,  but the Pats grabbed him at the end of the first.  They seem to do that a lot with kids the Giants want one round later.  Anyway, like Rolle,  McCourty started out as a CB but got switched.   And, starting now, he could come in and take the Rolle -- roll -- in the Giant defense.

So I think we'll see a good contract thrown at Safety where nothing on the roster is proven, and a lesser contract given to a run stuffing DT, and perhaps a pick at both positions.

I'd be happy either way!! Do you think we will hear on Saturday some news of who we will target/get? or will it be waiting till Tuesday when they can sign officially.

I don't expect the Giants to leak anything and I know they don't appreciate it when others do.

Why touch Suh with a 10-foot pole? He may be a good player, but his dirty play goes against everything the Giants are supposed to represent. Plus, he won't help win a Super Bowl if he gets suspended.

As you say, there are loads of better ways to spend the money.

The Giants remind me of Vince McMahon that way, he wants to control the information surrounding WWE. In this day and age its virtually impossible for that.
