Contenders for the NFC East crown!

Doesn't mean that they are good enough to get to the Super Bowl though.

Far from it.

JANORIS JENKINS IS A HIGH-RISK SIGNING FOR GIANTS
BEN STOCKWELL10 MINS AGO

Editor’s note: Grades and analysis for this article may be updated as further details of the deal are reported.

The deal: Per a report from Rand Getlin, cornerback Janoris Jenkins will sign with the Giants when free agency opens with Ian Rapoport adding that it will be a multi-year deal “worth more than $12 million per year.”

Grade: D

What it means for the Giants: This is a boom-or-bust move for the Giants. From a financial perspective, this is a big gamble on a cornerback who has not proven himself to be among the top tier of corners. Jenkins has consistently been a corner equally adept at creating impact plays for both his team and the opposition.

Since Jenkins entered the league in 2012, only Buster Skrine (25) and Patrick Peterson (23) have surrendered more than Jenkins’ 22 touchdowns, while only four corners (Antonio Cromartie, Brandon Carr, Cary Williams and Tramon Williams) have allowed more plays of 20-plus yards than Jenkins (39). On the positive side, Jenkins will make big plays for his own team as well; his 10 career interceptions are tied for the 12th-most since he entered the league, and his 34 passes defensed are tied for the seventh-most.

Paired with incumbent No. 1 corner Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Jenkins gives the Giants two aggressive corners who love to make plays on the ball. Rodgers-Cromartie himself has 12 interceptions and 38 passes defensed since 2012, and if the Giants can land a pass-rusher to play opposite Jason Pierre-Paul, they are setting themselves up to have an extremely aggressive pass defense that could lead for some explosive games in 2016 — for both them and their opponents.

What it means for the Rams: When the Rams franchise-tagged Trumaine Johnson last week, it seemed clear that the Rams were moving on from trying to retain Jenkins. While Jenkins has provided Jekyll and Hyde play since he entered the league, Johnson has been a far more consistently positive presence in the Rams secondary. Johnson has 15 interceptions (five more than Jenkins) since 2012 and 20 pass defenses on 1,300 fewer snaps.

The Rams need a second corner opposite Johnson now that Jenkins is headed for the Big Apple, but they can get comparable if not more consistent play at a far lower price than the Giants have paid Jenkins.

We will probably get a 3rd compensary pick for losing Jenkins.

I guess the person who compiled this article forgot that we have a guy named EJ Gaines who simply out played Jenkins and Johnson two years ago.

Dolphins pull back transition tag on Olivier Vernon, now a free agent.

Chargers to sign Travis Benjamin.

Lions to sign Marvin Jones.

Good luck with Jenkins Giants.

Just like your former 1st round pick Amukamara, I think you will find he is not worth the money you are paying him.

 

[TEB11]

Looks like the Rams are going to stand pat with the receiving core they have. The two receivers I thought they would look at (Benjamin and Jones) are off the board. As of right now with the loss of Lil' Animal, Chris Long and Jenoris Jenkins, we are worse off than we were last season. Come on guys, make a splash will ya!!!!!

Remember how strict Fisher was with Jenkins when he drafted him regarding following a plan to avoid his off field issues from college?

Prediction: Jenkins will be in trouble with the law in some way within one year of his signing by the Giants!

 

[SJ76]

Jenkins, Long, JL, all gone on D. And ALL replaceable - won't be that hard.
Compare what Jenkins will be getting paid and what Gaines will be getting paid in 2016. It's pretty comical.

WR - probably going to get another young WR in the draft. And since we couldn't get Alshon, I like that move too.

Keeping Trumaine and Barron would be great = A+. Our front 7 is what makes these CBs better than good. Without the front 7, our DBs are a bit above average.


So the "holes" in our D in 2015 are still holes in 2016. For now. We've just gotten more cash to play with to fill in those holes.

Well Mark Sanchise will soon be available if the Rams are interested. Chase Dainels signed with the Eagles. Fisher does like USC guys.

Tread well at 15, he is going to be good.

More details on the Eagles trades:

Murray trade: Titans and Eagles swap 4th round picks

Alonso/Maxweel trade: Dolphins and Eagles swap 1st round picks; Eagles now picking at #8.

Rams are doing a fantastic job in free agency thus far. Looks like another losing season is ahead as we start the Los Angeles era. Gone, Jenkins, McCloud, Lil' Animal, Long, Cook, This effin' front office sucks moose balls!

 

[RamCub]

Eagles are maneuvering well with their limited talent and bloated contracts.
