Giants.com doesn't waste any time getting the player info taken off.

He's a pretty big boy at 6'1" and 218 lbs. Wonder about his speed?

You mean Bretsky, right? :P

I need a FA signing by 2008

I doubt it was desperation. He tried to give up Rayner but the Giants wouldnt bite. My guess is the draft pick was a 6th or 7th. The way TT trades down, we'll have plenty of other picks in those rounds.

It is just that we haven't seen this type of activity from TT before. Old dog, new tricks??????????

If this team bombs, he might not be around in 2008 and then you'll have that sig FOREVER...

Why the trade?
The Giants and the Pack both had 8-8 record last seaon, but the Nats made the play-offs. Anyone they cut would only have to pass thru 1 or 2 teams before we could snake Ryan off the waiver wire.

TT might've burned a beloved draft pick for no reason on this one.

Because there where 15 teams that would have had a chance at claiming him.

TT must have felt he was a step up from the other players that were going to be waived and he made a deal work. Again, I like to see him making something happen instead of just waiting to see how everyone else's cards are played. Right or wrong, to me that's a good sign

Traitor! First sign of good things and you jump off the damn bus!

On the other hand, this is probably the difference between drafing 10 guys instead of 11 guys next year before you consider compensatory picks. Given the fact that we lost at least two guys through free agency this year (Ahman Green and David Martin are both starting, aren't they?) we may well get more compensatory picks than we have in the last couple years. The formula is closely guarded, but it's something to do with (FA production out) - (FA production in), and somehow I imagine AG and DM are going to have better years than Frank Walker.

Nah, Walker is going to be a "pro-bowl" nickel corner... Just wait. You'll see. Green will be hurt in week 2 and David Martin took bubba's butter popcorn with him.
