Looks like Schein doing his best to keep core guys together with the Giants. Yet with questions about their long term playmakers on offense they might struggle to take the next step in their development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) He was elite but for 23.5 per I think I'd rather have a an above average Dawkins at 14 per and ability to add a Floyd at DE but then again, Giants have basically no choice but to pay him market value Edited July 27, 2023 by JerseyBills 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bray Wyatt Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 It is good for the culture to show them you will pay for performance. They can afford it at this point and buys a ton of goodwill with the locker room imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) He is the classic case for don't judge a player after 1 year. He sucked as a rookie. Rounded into a very good, borderline elite LT.

Virgil Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 That is a huge chunk of change. With all the roster rework they are doing, I'm sure it will feel like a bargain in 2-3 years when they have to start paying other positions. Just crazy how much some of these guys are making now, but it's not my team or money. Agreed about Barkley though. I would be peeved 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manther Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 13 hours ago, C.Biscuit97 said: Dion Dawkins was a steal! Beane is a wizard! Is Beane a wizard. Not sure, but, I lean towards yes. He has great systems on his contracts negotiations and timelines. This leads to being proactive with success. He identifies the important positions to do this with his long term deals. I think the important thing with Beane and his recent long term deals in the last 3-4 was his ability to get in front of Covid and the salary cap impact. He continued to work towards long term goals and contracts. He then had the flexibility & ability (with our Ownerships cash & dedication towards success) to continue to maneuver the salary cap by redoing contracts. I will call Beane a wizard. But, I think it is more that he is consistently above average in all aspects of his job which make him look very, very good overall. Beane's overall above average skills in almost all or all categories makes him great and we are very lucky to have him. Go Bills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
