NY Giants Blog Roundup: Offseason Vol. 3
Tough choices for GM Jerry Reese
Posted on Monday, February 23, 2009 at 11:00 AMHere's what the Giants online community is saying about the second week without professional football, free agents and the long off-season.
Sean Carroll, Giants 101
"Call it inevitable, call it fate, call it Derrick Ward getting his due ... but it is becoming increasingly evident that the New York Giants will not be retaining the services of #34, who has been garnering more attention across the NFL than the Patriots' camera crew (yeah, I said it)."
Rich O'Callaghan, Big Blue 101
"Al Davis and the always wise Oakland Raiders organization released former Giants safety Gibril Wilson, after he signed a monster contract as a free agent last winter. I know a lot of you want to see Gibril back in blue, but the Giants have a pair of nice young safeties in Kenny Phillips and Michael Johnson, so I am not sure it will happen."
Vinny DiTrani, TrueBlue
"There's a story out there that makes it sound like GM Jerry Reese does not expect to have Plaxico Burress back and he's planning accordingly ... Well, that's only half true. As he stated clearly, the Giants have TWO plans, one with Burress and one without him. They have no idea yet what will happen with the court case or the potential league suspension. And while there are a lot of questions yet to be answered, they are by no means closing the door on a Burress return."
Pat Traina, Inside Football
"I spoke with [James Butler] this morning to see how he was doing and to see if he had made any progress on a new contract with the Giants. He's doing well, but as far as returning to the Giants, that's another story as the team hasn't reached out to him regarding a new contract (no surprise there as typically If they're interested in a RFA who's been tendered, they usually try to work out a new deal before he hits the market.)"
