mhd24 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Everyone was syaing this after 2003 off-season. We signed Hall, they signed Feely. We signed Thomas, they signed Mckenzie. We signed Coles, they will probably sign Burress. We signed Bowen and Upshaw, they signed Pierce. Again the media has a bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. S Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 because of our tendancy to do this every season, except this one. Though now its more like 'the skins overpaid to get rid of someone', which is actually pretty true, thats what sucks even more. I remember reading the article posted yesterday about the winners and losers of FA, obviously the winners were whoever got more players, yet last season i dont quite remember hearing the same.

Tom [Giants fan] Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 It is all about reputation. Snyder starting doing this right away so it looked like a young rich kid who is trying to buy a whole bunch of toys. The Giants never spend money on free agents. This is the first offseason they have done anything like this. That is probably why they aren't even really being talked about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillyBardy Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Because the Giants and Cowboys came into free agency with plenty of cap room. All they are doing is spending some. THe Giants have not thrown around mega-bonus contracts that will result in huge amounts of dead money down the road. The Giants have not resturctured 5 veteran contracts to free up room by moving cap hits into future years, etc. There's a difference between spending money you have available and borrowing large amounts of future money to sign guys today. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GangstaSkinz Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Since the Skins have done similar stuff over the last four years, only to meet with mediocore results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 It looks like doing what's neccessary to improve your team. When you think about it, everyone's out to buy a championship. The best players don't play on pennies, and your system is only as good as the players making it work. Kudos to both team for doing what they can to keep up in their division.

Tom [Giants fan] Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 No bubba, not at all. I remember myself saying a lot that I hate that guy after comments he makes about the Giants. Saying Peter King loves the Giants is like saying Len P. loves the Skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiGdiCeBuDdHa Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Because the Giants don't overpay for old veterans. We buy young talent. Pierce is 26. McKenzie is 27. Burress is 28. You guys make a habit of paying "older" vets to HUGE contracts, money of which they'll never see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its because Danny Snyder every year seems to do this, and get burned in the process. Im sure if the giants went on a free-agency bonanza every year and come up short every year, you'd be hearing the same about them. I cant believe that all of you think there's some sort of BIAS against the skins. Its like a giant, collective, persecution complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd hardly call him BRUCE SMITH or DEION SANDERS, two aging vets in obvious decline, now would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
