I'm still not sure why we didn't use a 7th on him. You could write a contract contingent on his availability to play and make a clawback provision for any bonus he would have received. That fact that NOT ONE TEAM took a flyer on this guy kinda smacks of collusion amongst the League and teams, right? It's almost like they all agreed not to touch him in the Draft. From a risk/reward standpoint it makes zero sense not to use a pick on the guy at the very end of the Draft. I don't get it either - he said he wouldn't sign a contract if drafted after the 3rd round but he's first and foremost a football player, that's what he does. I can't see someone like him sitting out an entire season, it would only hurt his draft stock for a start and he would definitely hear the drums calling when the pre-season starts up. If you draft him with a 7th you have first option on him. |

He is going to Miami Ross sent his private Jet along with 5 players and that included some LSU guys to recruit him. If he ends up in Miami and Brady is suspended for some time the Dolphins have a chance to take the division.

If you draft him with a 7th you have first option on him. His agent said he would not sign if taken after round 3. He also said he would reenter the draft in '16. If someone drafts him this year and he does not sign or report he can reenter the draft. By not being selected he can only be a UDFA. So his agent kind of fuCoed him a bit. |

My understanding is that no matter what (whether he signs, doesn't sign, whatever) he cannot enter the Draft again. He was officially listed in the Draft this year and you can't come back and try to enter a subsequent Draft if you weren't taken. If that were the case then just about everyone who wasn't drafted for character issues would probably use that approach. |

the nfl told him he can't enter the draft next year
if we're not making some kind of push for this guy it's a big mistake for our f/o

Good news -- at least he is not coming to our Division -- so much noise about Phins, Bills and even Pats over the last few days. Let Giant fans worry about that O-Line.

Exactly what I've been saying. 7th round picks have such little value, that the fact that no one thought taking a flyer on him was worth the risk smells of collusion to me. |
