Giants Sign Canty For $42 Million

From Adam Schefter of NFL.com:

New York continues making bold moves to shore up its defense.

One day after signing defensive tackle Rocky Bernard and linebacker Michael Bolley, the Giants signed free-agent defensive end Chris Canty to a six-year, $42 million contract that includes $17.25 million in guaranteed money. Now Dallas’ loss is New York’s gain.

Dallas could not afford to keep Canty, and Green Bay was trying to arrange for him to visit the Packers. But Canty did not want to leave New York, nor the East Coast, and Sunday afternoon he took the Giants offer.

The Giants have gotten defensive. Again.

Now what?

We are THIN.

from what i've read it sounded like TT didn't try and do shit

which is BS, because it sure sounds like the packers wanted him, and the price wasn't bad.

thats a shame, we better get igor. and TT better get on the phone with igor, not TT's minions. thats TT's job

Now what?

We are THIN.

we're less then thin

we have exactly 1 nt, when we need a two man rotation. and we have an often injured DE, when we need 3 or 4

Now what?

We are THIN.

The draft is coming up in April. We'll be the youngest team 5 years running...

Don't worry. It's all good. And, Igor hasn't signed yet.

Well we need to get that fool on the phone then... I'm pretty disappointed needless to say.

Yeah, that's fair. Me too. But you know, this is normal operation. You kind of get numb after a while. I kinda knew that we weren't going to get him. Hoped I was wrong, but there were too many good things said about the guy. You just knew it wasn't meant to be.

It's a damn good thing Ted can draft... Because there isn't very much else. You can't win them all, thats for sure, but you know, this team needs more than rookies and low end free agents.... (that's my opinion anyhow.)

That sucks. But Canty wanted to play in NY and made no attempt to even set up a visit to GB. What were the Packers going to do, sign him to a 45 million dollar contract without talking to him in person or giving him a physical? Come on guys! Canty grew up in NY, he wanted to play there. Let's move on.

But TT does need to shore up the D-Line. Draft A DT in the 1st or 2nd and sign Igor. End of story.

don't hold your breath

just when you start to think that maybe TT is ok, he shows why he isn't

the stuff i read this morning made my opinion of him come crashing back to earth.

canty's agent said he was trying to get a hold of TT this moring and couldn'd. and he also said that he hadn't talked to ted at all about canty. he must have been talking to someone else in the organization because someone was very interested in the guy and was trying to get him, but it wasn't tt

TT is like the little shy scarred boy in high school that is too scared to ask the hot girl out that likes him

he's hiding in his shell

[mission]

Naw you guys are right. I definitely don't put this on TT ... NYC is the greatest city in America to live in if you're a millionaire. I love it there ... don't blame the guy.

Igor and a BJ sounds like something we (I) need right now... I might have to call up a "friend"

his agent said he had been trying to get in touch with TT, but TT wouldn't talk to him

[retailguy]

I don't think it's about "blame". It is the way he operates and what he believes.

He's definitely got the courage of his convictions, and for a while at the end of 2007 I was becoming a believer. Maybe I will be again this season? Maybe Ted's "luck" only manifests itself in "odd numbered years".

We've got another week before I think we sign anyone, and then it'll be all about "depth" until the draft. After that, who knows?

I just don't know who plays the line this year. I guess we've got Kampy if it gets really thin.

That being said, losing Cole wasn't that much of a loss. but he's better than a rookie with little experience or a street free agent, but worth 5mil? Nope.

that's just the new NFL... good and bad.

Just in case you didn't read it the first time.

well if we don't get igor then we almost have to reach a little and draft tyson jackson, because we have no one to start at the other DE spot, and not much out there other then olshansky that can start at de in a 3-4

and you had proof?

TT wouldn't even fucking talk to the agent on the phone, why would they come here?
