gutlead74 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 talk about overpaying:laugh::laugh::rolleyes::gaintsuck:gaintsuck:gaintsuck http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2380243 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants have re-signed Pro Bowl special teams player David Tyree to a five-year contract. The deal makes Tyree the highest-paid special teams player in the league, said Tyree's agent, Mark Clouser, and is on a par with money paid to No. 3 receivers in the league. "It's basically receiver money. David wants to be a receiver in this league and feels he should be paid receiver money," said Clouser. The Giants confirmed the signing but did not comment on the specifics of the deal. Tyree, who went to high school in Montclair, less than 10 miles from Giants Stadium, made the Pro Bowl for the first time in 2005 when he made 16 special teams tackles (13 solo) and blocked a punt. He also caught 5 passes for 52 yards and one touchdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom [Giants fan] Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 talk about overpaying[/Quote]How about you find out how much money he got first. Him being the highest paid special teams player does not make it that the Giants over paid for him. He is an outstanding special teams player and I for one and thrilled that the Giants locked this guy up for the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueTalon Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Pro Bowl special teams player? I thought Koren Robinson was the Pro Bowl special teams player. Or was that in a previous year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoCommiesGo Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I'm confused is Pro Bowl special teams player for kick/punt returners only or is it an all inclusive type of thing? Tom is Tyree a kick returner or a very good overall performer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPstretch Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 tyree does not return kicks for them. chad morton (ha) is their return guy. tyree is just a good performer on teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1SkinsFan Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Pro Bowl special teams player? I thought Koren Robinson was the Pro Bowl special teams player. Or was that in a previous year? It was K-Rob who made it as a special teamer. I think Tyree made it as a back-up, or 2nd KR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli to Burress Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Tyree was just the Special Teamer. Koreen went as the Returner. They are two different spot on the pro bowl team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantsFanMan Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Tyree is a special teams ace, but he is so good at them. I guess I can see paying him 3rd WR type money. I dought he will ever be a 3rd WR. Its debatable however thats for sure if he is worth it. Still if anyone saw him play last year this guy turned games around with his play on special teams the last few years. He is the best Gunner in the NFL, and he can block a kick or two.

Tom [Giants fan] Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 The contract is for 5 years, $7.5 million with a $1.5 million signing bonus. That is actually a great deal for what Tyree means to the Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
