GIANTS A LIKELY DESTINATION FOR BART SCOTT IF RELEASED BY JETS

Tony Pauline of Sports Illustrated reports that if Scott were to hit the open market, Big Blue
would immediately be in hot pursuit.</p>
<blockquote>


"Word from the combine: if the Jets cut <a class="st_tag internal_tag" title="Posts tagged with Bart Scott" href="http://www.giants101.com/tag/bart-scott/" rel="tag nofollow">Bart
Scott</a> he could end up changing locker rooms and playing for the Giants,"
Pauline tweeted.</p></blockquote>


Let the wild rumors of the NFL offseason commence!</p>


With a guaranteed $4.2 million salary, the chances the Jets release Scott are
slim to none. However, in the event that the 31-year-old is cut loose, the
Giants are known to "investigate everything" and may still need a starting
middle linebacker depending on what they decide to do with Chase Blackburn (UFA)
and Jonathan Goff (UFA), who is recovering from a torn ACL.</p>


From a personality standpoint, Scott doesn't exactly seem like a fit for the
Giants. He's known to be a little off-the-wall at times, having gone as far as
to flip off the media (among other things). That said, he is a high motor guy
who still has some gas left in the tank and could potentially bring value to the
middle linebacker spot.</p>


Scott had elbow surgery earlier this month, but the procedure was said to be minor."</p>

I don't know how I'd feel about that. How good is he even, anymore? I kinda had the impression that he was starting to go downhill (but that may still qualify him as being better than CB or Goff).</P>


Also, as mentioned, he's always struck me as a loudmouth jackass, but much of that could be fueled by Rex (not caused, just amplified). Maybe he'd be a little more reserved here taking on some of TC's persona?</P>


Still... Just don't know what to think of that.</P>

Depends on the contract... if its cheap then why not.

Its been proven time after time!!!

[quote user="myles2424"]I'm not buying into this....[/quote]kind of soundslike the article regarding the Giants being interested in Abraham from the Falcons? I know Goff is coming off surgery, but Scott is not that much better vs the run.
