Still some pieces of the Giants puzzle to deal with. Here are some of those that need to be addressed…
Now, as a fan, I can’t even be mad at Umenyiora signing with the Falcons. He deserved more money and the Giants made it clear they weren’t going to re-sign him. The Giants were able to re-sign Shaun Rogers, Will Beatty, and Kevin Boothe. They also signed Dan Connor and Brandon Myers, but we did lose Kenny Phillips, Martellus Bennett, and Chase Blackburn.
I’ve reported a few times on the Victor Cruz re-signing situation. Both sides have been quiet about a figure on the table. Then Cruz made a power move by switching agents and is now being represented by Tom Condon, who also represents Eli Manning. Manning has said that he would be willing to restructure his deal, which is back-end heavy. Manning is due almost $40 million over the next 2 years, including bonuses.

It’s like I said, more money does not equate to more talent. The 2013-’14 Cowboys will do than better than last season. They just coninue to put the same lousy and predictable product on the field while Jerry laughs all the way to the bank!

The one thing that the Cowboys as a franchise going for it , they have amongst the most expensive general admission and season ticket prices in the NFL . Beyond that , they have one of the most lucrative tv deals with local market affiliates beyond the tv revenues gained from the NFL . Also take into account they are by far the most profitable and most valuable NFL franchise .
