No idea where or how he fits in but . . . get on the phone JR.

[GGGGG-Men]

Can't afford him.

Really interesting move though.....wonder what's going on over there now.

Reid:“By releasing him today, this gives us an opportunity to give more playing time to some of younger guys in the [DL] rotation.”

They're gonna keep cutting people around Reid in an effort to save Reid.

They are being so damn confusing he's there best player on D

[NYSPORTS98]

Can't afford him.

He's only due around $1.7 million the rest of the year. It likely doesn't make sense but if Osi is gone next season . . . . Just speculating as the guy is a talent.

[Bklyn24]

wow thats a pretty interesting move, the guy had 18 sacks last year

[lvlheaded]

I would take Aso as a 3rd corner

[NY007]

Has to make it through waivers first, Giants gotta get on this. We all talk about drafting a DE next season, well that no longer would be a concern.

Last I heard, beginning of November, the Giants had $2.2 mil in cap space with a need at RB which gets filled with signings for Lumpkin and Torain now.

That doesn't leave much and depending on waivers and all that, this isn't about paying him the rest of the year, it'll be about offering him a long term deal.

We can't do anything for him with money spent on DE right now. Osi and a few others leave and some others restructure, we could make a move for him in the offseason, but Babin won't last that long.

There's gonna be a contender that snatches him up. Watch out for the Pats or even Packers on this one, regardless of 4-3/3-4 schemes......but Chiefs are 1st in waiver order and I wouldn't doubt them jumping on it for the sake of firing up their fans and the team. Then there's JAX, OAK, CLE, CAR, SD......Babin won't get through waivers.

I could maybe see Cleveland adding him to help out their young line.

Getting an old washed up DE would not mean we would no longer need to draft a DE. Tuck is getting old and hes play is showing it JPP needs help. We need a young DE

You don't think Babin needed help on the Eagles D Line as well? He was obviously game planned against by every team this year.

We have Osi/Tuck/JPP/Kiwi who call can play DE t any given time do we really need to waste a spot on something we dont NEED?

[musclemenace]

overachieved. he peaked.

They are being so damn confusing he's there best player on D

not really. he already got his guaranteed money. they back-loaded his contract. plus they save on his signing and performance bonuses 'bout another half a mil. 12.5 mill plus whatever games he misses for them this year. he's never, ever going to produce the way he did last year, again.

word like 70 mill tied into all those guys. no need for babin. we wouldnt be able to even touch him in waivers anyway. we need rbs and fast! bradshaw goes down, we're ****ed!
