It's voluntary he doesn't need an excuseI can't wait to hear Toney's excuse for not attending.
OK, reason then. He should be there. It's in his best interest to be there.It's voluntary he doesn't need an excuse
Daboll: No virtual work yet, and because he hasn’t shown up to the facility he hasn’t received the playbook yet.It's voluntary he doesn't need an excuse
He's as releasable as Dandre Baker was at this point.It's voluntary he doesn't need an excuse
Where do the Giants get the money to sign Deebo?K.T. for Deebo. Throw in a mid-round pick. Some cash and pay for his plane ticket out west.
They should take whatever they can get for this turdBreaking: Giants are looking to trade WR Kadarius Toney, making calls on what they can get for their 2021 1st round pick.

we can only hope the new guys in charge are better at evaluating character and personality that comes with the talent.He's as releasable as Deandre Baker was at this point.
Doesn't seem like they would get much for him based on reports that I have seen. Per some of the beat writers the best they could get is a 3rd for Toney.monk said:They should take whatever they can get for this turd
I'd take a 3rd ... remember he was a reach in the 1st. Since then he has been nothing but injuries and headachesDoesn't seem like they would get much for him based on reports that I have seen. Per some of the beat writers the best they could get is a 3rd for Toney.
“ he was a reach in the 1st” sounded like some BS revisionist history to me, so I looked at a few mock drafts from 2021. He was a 1st round pick n 4 of the 5 that I saw.I'd take a 3rd ... remember he was a reach in the 1st. Since then he has been nothing but injuries and headaches
He was a late 1st early 2nd rounder in most mocks ... Giants reached for him at pick 20“ he was a reach in the 1st” sounded like some BS revisionist history to me, so I looked at a few mock drafts from 2021. He was a 1st round pick n 4 of the 5 that I saw.
I get being frustrated with him missing games due to injury and Covid but I think it’s too early to take a 3rd round pick plus take the cap hit for the guy after one season.

a reach based on what? What some pundits came up with in their imaginary drafts?OK so 2 lists had him at 23 and 26 vs a number of sites who had him in the 30s ....Giants reached for him at 20
Ok So Daniel Jones at 6 is not reach I guessa reach based on what? What some pundits came up with in their imaginary drafts?
That's not really the point, but if they believed in him then it wasn't a reach. He's looking like a bust - but ignoring o-line had a lot to do with that as well. If he built on his first season and became a franchise QB would it be a reach? I get that we get beat over the head with 1,000s of mock drafts so we start to believe that this player should go at pick 20, but if you just look at how these guys just start making changes to their mocks simply because it's two weeks since their last one and they need more clicks, you start to see how silly these mocks are.Ok So Daniel Jones at 6 is not reach I guess
I guess I misunderstood your original post. I was under the impression that you thought Toney wasn’t a 1st round talent.#30 overall = a reach at 20
just my opinion but I don't think they trade him either. they wanted him at camp, he wasn't there. story gets leaked about looking to trade to get his attention to come to camp.I guess I misunderstood your original post. I was under the impression that you thought Toney wasn’t a 1st round talent.
Moving past that, I think it’s foolish to trade the guy because he skips voluntary work outs for a 3rd round pick when
#1 the Giants are currently in trouble with the cap – trading Toney would take on about 5M in dead cap if they move him now
#2 the Giants need WR and he has shown that when healthy he can play
A 3rd is a lot better than what they got for Baker ... Zebra cant changes its stripes. This guy has had bust written all over him from the moment he was drafted and even before thatYenrub said:I guess I misunderstood your original post.

I’m an NC State alum so I prefer Ekwonu but I won’t be upset if Neal is the OT of choice.2 days a way. who you guys like? imo, if neal gets to 5 i take him. if he doesn't it wouldn't shock me if they go 2 on D with those 5 and 7 picks. gonna be interesting to see how it plays out.
I am hoping for Trevon Walker but I see him going as high as #1 after he blew away the combine. Could mean Hutchinson Drops ... But I would love either. I could get by the Kayvon Thibodeaux pile on ... just like last year with Parsons ... But I really would like 1of the 32 days a way. who you guys like? imo, if neal gets to 5 i take him. if he doesn't it wouldn't shock me if they go 2 on D with those 5 and 7 picks. gonna be interesting to see how it plays out.
I'm with you on your thoughts about Walker and Hutch, I think they go 1, 2. Thibodeaux, it sounds like from wha't i've read and heard we've done a lot of work on him. If he is there and we pass, not sure what to think on that one. We are so due to get something right at this point.I am hoping for Trevon Walker but I see him going as high as #1 after he blew away the combine. Could mean Hutchinson Drops ... But I would love either. I could get by the Kayvon Thibodeaux pile on ... just like last year with Parsons ... But I really would like 1of the 3
Then I would go with one of the Tackles ... I have them in this order Cross, Ekwonu. and Neal but , like the 3 Edges I would love to have either of them
That would give the Giants a Franchise Tackle and Edge for the next 5 years to pair with Thomas (T) and Ojulari (Edge).
I listend to a great pod cast on Big Blue Banter about the importance of Edge Rush over Corner. Forgot who it was but they were talking about how a good Edge could help a Corner more than a corner could help pass rush. Reason being the advantage that WRs have over Corners these days with strict contact penalties
“It’s one of those things that, if you were asking me, if you’re the owner of a team and I’m your head coach and it comes down to what do you want, I want as many cover corners as you can have,” he said. “Because the game is the passing game now. And I think sacks — we’re talking philosophical now; this is my opinion on it — I think sacks are one of the most superficial rankings there is. Because you look at guys that have a bunch of sacks, OK? There’s a lot of things that go into that.”
“My philosophy is, personally, I’d rather have a corner that can cover than a guy that can rush,” he said, “because I’ll get guys to hit quarterbacks.”
Err... dunno if this was posted but Neal has been red-flagged by a number of teams for "medical issues". Of course, that could be a smokescreen.

@nfldraftscout
People tried doing the same thing with Jedrick Wills pre-draft; “leaking” stories about injuries, bad interviews, even low Wonderlic scores. None of it was real. I’m still not even sure if the info was coming from NFL teams. Similar case here.

#Alabama OT Evan Neal started 40 out of 41 games with the only missed game being due to COVID. The Combine has a “medical recheck” in April for prospects with potential red flags medically. Neal was not told to go. Neal’s camp deny there are any “medical risks” with him.
