What does plax,boss,cofield and s.smith have in common?

[miked1958]

All of them left or didnt resign for greener pastures.
All of them are enjoying the off season.
Jets,raiders,skins and Philly all eliminated from playoff contention.
I guess the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
Giants still alive because of the late start. And looking decent so far

[miked1958]

And the gmen move onto the playoffs as the players mentioned above go fishing

For anyone who thinks the Giants GM can't draft, all you need to do is look at how other teams covet our players.

BTW, Boss got hurt again yesterday - he does not have many concussions left.

Your comments are tinged with anger and vengence but miss the central point. The job of the GM is to assemble the best talent and to manage the salary cap. You make it sound like Smith should have passed up that money to stay with us for less. But would we have been a better team with Smith playing and Cruz sitting? People have to make the decision that is best for them and their families. Careers are short and if they can get more money they should. A GM needs to improve the roster every year. Everything is in flux, players age, some guys become too costly to keep (think Manningham this off season). Would we be better off with Boss for a healthy sum or Ballard for peanuts?</P>


So view all of this for what it is..............a business and accept that Jerry Reese did a pretty darn good job of balancing talent with the salary cap. Go Blue!</P>

without ballard and cruz - eespecially cruz - we would be in off season mode.

Just keep lining up draft choices. Change in the NFL today can actually be good.
