Eli goes from $9.6M in 2012 to $20.85M in 2013 against cap

cost of doing business

now Tuck's 6M + 3M in incentives is a bigger waste of money imo
should add 1M incentive if he can go a whole season without whining like a little *****

Man, how quickly do we forget about him being a HUGE part of winning 2 supwrbowls for us. We don't have to blast our players who were such a big part of Giants football becuase they are getting older and can't perform like they used to.

aww are you worried it will hurt his feelings?

2 years in a row he's gone to the media about his feelings - his lack of desire
if he's a Captain again our defense will continue to suck ***

i agree with bansaw to a point, seems tuck wants to hug opposing qb's after the game rather than sack them. Tuck was great and one of my fav players, but business is business and i hope reese cuts some of these guys -which i doubt.

I agree with you, in theory. But in the media market and on these Boards, what have you done lately is the only consistent theme. Where "we've won two Super Bowls in 5 years" is met with "you can't live in the past." We want, demand a Super Bowl run every season.

Some of the people looking to cut veterans now are the same people who rant against teams for a lack of loyalty and having the latitude to cut players. F I C K L E!

On the flip side, when you're depending on certain players to play up to what had been their potential and they can't, it's very demoralizing. Fans are emotional, it's how they express themselves.

We do need to cut players and try to restructure other contracts, that's just business.

I'm all for veteran loyalty

but back to back years going to the media about your internal struggles to find the desire to play???

cmon....get rid of him, and a defensive captain?? as Tiki would say - COMICAL

As for getting back on topic the best thing to do is Leave Eli's contract alone. Not his fault at all , this is the FO's mess

lol Webster's hit is 9.975M

Eli's contract is what it is. I'm pretty sure he's not going to be cut so it's pointless going on about it. To restructure again just makes the next few years as hard to work around as this season. They need to cut players who have peaked.
