The post New York Giants 2007 Draft Under GM Jerry Reese first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

In what was one if the busiest days in Giants history (or at least what I can recall), the Giants and Victor Cuz came to an agreement on his contract restructure.

Cruz let all of his followers know that he is “all in” and eager to come back.

Once a Giant always a Giant. See you in September.

Specifics of the contract were later described by Art Stapleton.

Tip of the hat to Victor, let’s get back on that field, score some points, and of course salsa dance.

It took a great deal for this move to actually happen. First the Miami Dolphins rescinded their transitional franchise tag, which allowed Olivier Vernon to become a free agent and be available on the open market. Ian Rapoport is tweeting its a done deal.

For Olivier Vernon and the #Giants, I’m told it’s the biggest defensive end deal in history with the most guaranteed money

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 9, 2016

Rumors were circulating last week that the Giants will likely still try to offer Vernon a deal even with the transitional tag.

This is Jerry Reese’s second big move this off-season (third if you count JPP). All his maneuvering shows his focus on gearing up the defensive side of the ball.

Welcome to the Gmen Olivier, let’s bring back the big blue wrecking crew.

New York Giants general manager Jerry Reese hit big on his second maneuver this off-season. Yesterday he re-sign Jason Pierre-Paul to a one year deal. Today it is being reported that Janoris Jenkins and the Giants have come to terms landing for 27-year-old stud cornerback.

Biggest CB domino expected to fall after new league year kicks off: Rams CB Janoris Jenkins is poised to join NY Giants, sources tell ESPN.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 9, 2016

Previously, Jenkins went to Twitter venting his frustration over his contract negotiations with the Rams.

Total disrespect when u held down one side all 4 years and force the ball the other way.. #ThanksButNoThanks

As contract talks with the Rams broke down the Giants were able to get an offer in the late hours and immediately strengthened their defense. With the addition of Jenkins it appears the Giants are moving away from cornerback Prince Amukamara.

Welcome to the G-Men Janoris!!

The post Giants land Rams CB Janoris Jenkins first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

Some hard choices are ahead for the New York Giants and soon to be Free Agent Cornerback Prince Amukamara.

Amukamara was drafted by the Giants in 2011 with the 19th overall selection. When healthy, Amukamara proved that he can be a top cornerback in the league, but availability continues to be the primary concern. Missing 25 out of 80 games might be costly in the open marketplace. Amukamara spoke openly Sirius XM Radio

“I feel like I’ve put out on film that when I’m on the field, I can definitely play and play as good as anybody,” Amukamara said. “But . . . I do have that injury bug or whatever attached to me. But I think my film, like I said is great enough to put me in a position to be one of the top corners to be picked up.”

Rumors began to circulate that Amukamara was looking for $10 million per year, placing him in the top tier for cornerback salaries. These rumors have died down of late.

The Giants General Manager Jerry Reese has over $55 million to use this off season, and may choose to move in another direction because of the strong options at cornerback.

Panthers Josh Norman, Rams Janoris Jenkins & Bengals Leon Hall all could hit free agancy unless they are marked with their respected teams franchise tag.

“I do hope to be back,” Amukamara said during an interview on Sirius XM Radio. “I feel like the organization is a great fit for me, and I do feel like they have expressed an interest. … From what coach (Ben) McAdoo is saying, it looks like they’re going to build a great team. So I’m excited about that.”

Only time will tell how this would play out. What do you think, will Prince re-sign?

The Giants are searching high and low to fill their roster needs. I’m sure Jerry Reese would call this “due diligence”. The NFL continues to flirt with expansion into London and possible new avenues into playing in the NFL. Last year Jerry Reese signed Canadian Center Brett Jones, this year two European players will travel to New York for a work out.

NFL Draft Diamonds featured both players prior. Here are their findings.

Harry Innis is a 6’7 tight end who we have featured many times on NFL Draft Diamonds. Innis is a tall tight end with soft hands. He entered the new program assisted by the NFL and former NFL player Osi Umenyiora a few months ago. Innis has the same size/attributes as Rob Gronkowski. He has been playing American football overseas and was a stud for Kiel Baltic of the German Football League, and finished last season with Senajoki Crocodiles.

D’Anthony Dable’ the 6’4 physical wide out is another player who will be visiting the New York Giants next week. Dable’ is a very quick player with great hands. Both players played overseas and both were standouts in their conferences.

With Osi Umenyiora as an NFL ambassador in London  maybe other foreign born players will get a few looks at making a roster.

The Giants made it official this morning announcing that they re-signed DT Barry Cofield. To make room for Cofield be released see if the Brandon Meriwether earlier. Below is the New York Giant press release about Barry Cofield Rejoining Giants.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J – The Giants have brought back an old friend to shore up their depleted defensive line.

Barry Cofield, who played for the Giants from 2006-10 and was a member of the Super Bowl XLII championship team, was signed today. He adds depth at defensive tackle, where the Giants have lost Johnathan Hankins (season-ending torn pectoral last month) and, on Monday, Markus Kuhn with a knee injury.

The Giants released safety Brandon Meriweather yesterday, a moved that created the roster spot for Cofield.

Cofield played for the Washington Redskins from 2011-14. He was released on Feb. 27 and has not played in the NFL this season.

In nine seasons, he has played in 135 games with 129 starts. In his first eight seasons, Cofield played in all 16 games seven times and in 15 games once. Last year, he suffered a high-ankle sprain in Washington’ season opener and was placed on injured reserve/designated for return on Sept. 9. He was activated on Nov. 11 and played in a total of eight games with three starts.

Cofield has always been a beast against the run hopefully he can get up to speed and help out this New York Giants defense D-line.

Damontre Moore has been waived by the Giants earlier this afternoon. No official word for the Giants yet, but it is being reported as “violating team rules”.

SOURCE: Giants are releasing DE Damontre Moore for violating team rules.

— Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) December 11, 2015

Moore, 23, was drafted in the third-round in 2013. He has fallen out of favor with the team and was benched on several occasions due to personal fouls and excessive hits on quarterbacks. To date he has 3 sacks. Details are still in the works.

The Giants added two additional names to their season ending IR yesterday. Zak DeOssie will miss time with a wrist injury and TE Larry Donnell will also be shut down with lingering neck issues, according  to Giants.com 

Long snapper Zak DeOssie, who has not missed a game in his eight-year career, was placed on injured reserve with a wrist injury. Since joining the Giants as a fourth-round draft choice in 2007, he has played in 140 consecutive games, the second-longest active streak on the team, behind only Eli Manning’s 179 straight appearances.
DeOssie is the second of the Giants’ three season-long captains to go in injured reserve, joining linebacker Jon Beason (who has been on I.R. since Nov. 7). Manning is the third team captain. DeOssie has been elected a captain by his teammates each of the last five seasons.
The Giants also placed tight end Larry Donnell on injured reserve because of the neck injury he suffered at New Orleans on Nov. 1. Donnell has missed the last four games.

There is a lot of talent on our injured reserve list. Hopefully all these players we come back strong next year.
