We generally don't get to see coordinator contracts. I'm sure someone in the media will have that information for us soon. If you use Twitter try asking one of the beat guys if they can find out the status of the coordinators.

I will check twitter. I am not on it though. I barely use FB, so not really a social media guy. But now with all these firings just curious to see who could come in. I hope fewell is done here.

I want another stud along the DL. I want Tuck to be gone, us to keep Osi for one more year and to start Kiwi opposite JPP. Even if Ojomo is a future starter that would still leave room for an Ansah or Carradine to join the rotation.

[Forenci]

Osi isn't going to sign for one year though.

[Giantsfan1080]

Osi is already signed for next year. His cap hit may be to large though so everyone assumed he would just cut him.

I think this is incorrect. I'm pretty sure he's a free agent.

If not then not. I'd offer him one year at a high salary or 3 at something more befitting a situational pass rusher, if he's not happy with either offer let him walk. JPP, Kiwi, Rookie and Ojomo wouldn't be the worst way to enter the season.

Are you sure? Either way, he will likely be gone if that's the case.

[NY+Giants=NYG]

It's a voidable year I heard. So if voided, he played his last game for us.

[Giantsfan1080]

Yes he's signed for next year but it's only for a $1 million. No way he plays for that.

[NY+Giants=NYG]

Voidable means the team voids it right, not the player?

[Forenci]

I will miss Osi, despite all the antics (which were overplayed in my opinion).

It's a sad day. We really need some roster turnover though.

Also, I'm not one to question Eli, but I have become a little concerned with him this season. Mainly because of his deep ball. Was it just me or does it seem like EVERY ball he throws deep results in the wide receiver having to stop his route, turn around and make a jump ball catch with the DB there? It just seemed like the arm strength wasn't there this year. Maybe that's a result of the arm tiredness.

[NY+Giants=NYG]

More of a reason to add short dink and dunks to this system. Try not to make a lot of the concepts 5 and 7 step drops and the routes associated with it. I liked some elements of the dink and dunk that Big Ben ran in Haley's new system.

I liked yesterday's passing concepts to our RB and FB. More of those would be great! OL has to block for a less time, and you get rid of the ball quicker.

[OSUGiants17]

Yea Eli looked like his arm was dead this year, didn't hit guys in stride on the deep routes as well as he did last year and like you said a lot of the time they had to stop. I trust him to step up next year though. Still can't believe our season is over, this year flew by.

Also, Lovie Smith was fired, potential DC? I know me and BBD would love that.

[Giantsfan1080]

Garafolo says Fewell's contract is not up so crap.

Jets and Panthers will interview Marc Ross for vacant GM opening.

[Big_Pete]

With Lovie Smith's firing, he jumps to the top of my DC wish list.

NYG is a good landing spot for him, his defensive style was only played in Minnesota and here.

He does have the option here of being groomed as Coughlin's successor.

I'd be ok keeping Fewell as DB coach (which he held under Smith in St Louis in 2003)

I wouldn't mind bringing in Martellus' little brother Michael into the mix if Tuck and Osi depart. At the very least he can compete with Kiwi for the start opposite JPP and we could have three vet DEs whilst our rookie (and maybe Trattou/Tracy/Ojomo) develops.

[AcheTen]

Bjoern Werner would look really good on the Giants DLine next year.

[Rosebud]

My biggest concern with Lovie is that if he did become our DC I think he would be Coughlin's heir. And as a Chicago resident, that scares the **** out of me.

NOooooooooooooo!!!! Coughlin's presser he gave a weak declaration that fewell was his coach. I didn't expect a classy guy like TC to throw him under the bus.

Rolle on the WFAN has a big your tongue moment and took the classy, high route when Evan asked him about Fewell.

I feel like we stick with this guy, but I would HATE to see Fewell come back.

27
31st

ranked defense in the regular season. I am tired of that. I thank him for the SB run, it saved his job, but I want a change. I hate his defensive philosophy.

Green for the players we absolutely should get to sign new contracts. Orange for the players I'd only sign for the right amount of money. The whites are either people I want gone, or in Osi's case, people I suspect want to leave.
