jerry reese made a move. a good one too.

GiantRutgersFan · 03-09-2007, 02:16 PM

Awesome!

Tim Carter is a horrible WR. we definitly got the better of this one

Bleh ... sort of eh, whatever. Droughns was on the way out anyways, so the Browns getting something was better than cutting him. Tim Carter isn't much anyways, so it's not as if the Giants really lose. Sinorice Moss was going to take a bigger role next year anyways. I don't think Droughns addresses their RB need, although it may allow them to pass on making a move for a veteran RB, and wait to draft a RB a bit later, perhaps in day 2, instead. I'm not sure where Carter fits in for the Browns, but they got something instead of cutting Droughns, so that's a plus, I guess.

Wow, what a horrible trade for the Browns.

The Giants are still gonna suck though, so it doesn't matter.

Good move by both teams!!!

hugegmenfan · 03-09-2007, 02:19 PM

They were going to cut him if they couldn't trade him anyhow.

This is like when the Jets traded Sam Cowart for a 7th rounder. His value was higher, but everyone knew he was going to be cut if he wasn't traded for.

Jughead10 · 03-09-2007, 02:20 PM

I'm not a fan of Droughns. But Carter is garbage. And that was when he is on the field, which is basically never. We traded our crap for slightly better smelling crap in my opinion.

lod01 · 03-09-2007, 02:20 PM

LMAO. Tim Carter....unreal. Is there a worse WR they could find on the planet?

It would have been better for the Browns to trade Droughns for air. At least that way they wouldn't have to pay for nothing. How can a team have such incompetant management? Oh yeah, they are consistently drafting top 10. I guess it's possible.

Tim Carter...BRAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!

jetsfan3 · 03-09-2007, 02:20 PM

This doesn't help the Giants significantly, but Tim Carter was atrocious and the Giants definitely got the better end.

LMAO. How so for the Browns? They got LESS that nothing. I didn't think you get get LESS than nothing in a trade but Cleveland pulled it off.

toonsterwu · 03-09-2007, 02:24 PM

The thing is, they were going to cut Droughns if they couldn't get a deal, so getting something is better than cutting Droughns and having to eat the money. That said, Carter is bleh. Albeit, with Northcutt gone, Carter might be able to be the 4th receiver, but personally, I'd go with Travis Wilson and Joshua Cribbs and let those guys develop.

art vandelay · 03-09-2007, 02:24 PM

Wow, interesting trade. The Browns were supposed to cut Droughns and I guess the Giants wanted to make sure that they were going to get him. However, I would not be suprised if Carter does not make the Browns team, so they could get nothing out of this trade.

haha yea trust me as a giants fan- tim carter is the worst player in the league- he cant catch for SH1T and constantly has penalty flags- he drops balls even when he is wide open
for thr value the giants got the better end of this deal by far

hugegmenfan · 03-09-2007, 02:26 PM

also can u give us a link? im starting to think this is not real

Jughead10 · 03-09-2007, 02:26 PM

Droughns makes basically nothing too. Which is good. If he was cut and signed he would have probably gotten more money because he would have wanted a signing bonus and this market is ridiculous. Right now he is schedule to make:

2007: $1.25 million (+ $1.75 million roster bonus), 2008: $1.75 million, 2009: $2.75 million

Not sure if we have to pick up that roster bonus or not.

It broke on Sirius NFL Radio literally like 15 minutes ago. If I find a link I'll post it, but unless someone tapped into my satellite feed and is doing one hell of an impression of Adam Schein and Solomon Wilcots, then I'm hearing the real deal.

No it doesnt but we save our picks, give him a new place to play with a better oline, so he can do some stuff with that. Plus as a RB he probably will caught more balls than Carter ever did, HAHA.

i still think we draft a HB in day 2 like a brandon jackson but this helps out the giants tremendously- this would guarentee we dont pick a HB 1st round and ANYONE is better than tim carter

Great deal for the Giants.

Not because Droughns is anything special, but because Carter is not worth more than a blade of grass.

Yeah day 2, perhaps even we can sign a bunch of undrafted FAs and let them fight for a 3rd spot. Now our balls arent cramped because Jacobs gets the most, than Droughns, so it makes the last spot irrelevant really, unless someone goes down. But I would use that pick on a defensive player, and fill the 3rd RB spot with an undrafted guy. Unless we get GB's luck where alot of RBs went down, i think we are set now.

Tim Carter is still in the NFL?
