00:05if I'm Joe Shane and John Harbaugh here's what I do for the Giants and free agency it's no secret
00:11I don't have that much money or cap space to work with yeah we cut Bobby Okereke and that saved
00:17us
00:17nine million yeah Devin Singletary even took a pay cut and we restructured his deal both of those
00:24moves really didn't move the needle that much when we talk about cap space we got to do more with
00:30less
00:31legal tampering begins on Monday so here's the free agents I think the Giants should go after that
00:38makes sense because they're within budget so here goes my top free agency needs and wants and it
00:46starts with somebody who's been down with me in Baltimore for quite some time and that's tight
00:51in Isaiah likely he's likely to command around 8 to 10 million but since John Harbaugh has that
00:57relationship with him maybe he takes a slight amount of pay cut to come in and be the Giants
01:03TE1 from day one Isaiah likely adds that over the middle threat that the Giants could desperately
01:09needs he can catch high points the football and he gets a little he's got a little wiggle when it
01:15comes to the yak movement now I've got Theo Johnson as my tight end too and I think I have
01:21one of the
01:21the best tight end duos in the NFC East the running back situation we don't need to go after Kenneth
01:29Walker we can go after Travis Etienne for around seven to ten million dollars a year yeah try Tyrone
01:36Tracy Jr already there he can do a lot of things out of the backfield and not just run the
01:42football
01:42Cam Scadaboo is my battering ram the kid brings energy which each with each run Devin Singletary has
01:50restructured his deal and maybe makes the practice squad to begin with and becomes a death piece
01:56later in the season but this is the NFL you need a three-headed monster at running back and Travis
02:02Etienne is going to compete for valuable carries and I feel like he could be that home run back
02:07that the Giants desperately need at cornerback we got to take a look at Eric Stokes from the Raiders
02:14and see what he can give us from around six to eight million I think this is a guy that
02:20played what
02:2115 16 games last season to show that he came back from injury pretty strong and he was able to
02:28cover
02:28some of the top receivers throughout the league Eric Stokes also makes me take a look at the contract
02:34Paulson Debo Paulson Debo for what he was paid last season really didn't live up to the price with
02:42Tate Banks is on the roster and who knows if Cordell Flott is going to re-sign with the Giants
02:47so you got
02:48to take a look at at least one to two corners in this free agency cycle and of and of
02:54course address
02:55it in the draft as well at linebacker since I already mentioned that Bobby Okereke after three years has been
03:03released we thank Bobby Okereke but we're looking for a new direction when it comes to bringing in a
03:09linebacker that can not only play the run but can also play in space as well we're going to address
03:16the linebacker situation in the draft but to cover all bases we've got to address some in free agency
03:22as well Alex Anzalone makes sense to play in this Denard Wilson defense loves to show like he's going to
03:31blitz in the A or B gaps and then he drops those backers out to play in coverage Alex Anzalone
03:37gets
03:37turnovers when he drops he gets interceptions when he drops in coverage he could be that guy that
03:43linebacker for us that can play in space and if we miss out on him we can go after Devin
03:49Bush from around
03:50nine to eleven mil again yeah we cut Bobby Okereke to save nine million but at Devin Bush I feel
03:57like in
03:57a Denard Wilson defense is more of a scheme fit and can give us more for our ball so this
04:04is my wish list
04:05that I feel like makes sense with all the limited coin that the Giants have to spend because of the
04:11salary cap the Giants are still going to have to restructure some other guys deals and have another cap
04:17casualty or two but again Harbaugh is going to come in and make these hard decisions because when
04:24you're a four and thirteen team the year before and you've got a new head coach in here nobody's safe
04:30except if your name is Jackson Dart, Brian Burns, Dexter Lawrence and of course Malik Nabors
04:37so let's recap it at linebacker we lost Bobby Okereke but we might have the opportunity to bring in
04:44Alex Anzalone or Devin Bush we feel that positional need running back we restructured Devin Singletary's
04:52deal but we're still bringing in a Travis Etienne for competition in depth in that room and you know
04:58what we may still address it in the draft as well you can never have too many home run hitters
05:03or
05:04serviceable running backs at corner we're bringing in Eric Stokes because we may lose out on Cordell
05:10Flott and free agency Cordell Flott is going to get paid somewhere else and you know what I love him
05:17he's done some good things for us but I do not know if we can match that price with the
05:22new regime
05:23coming in at tight end we're probably going to lose Daniel Bellinger and but we're going to replace
05:30that with an Isaiah likely Isaiah likely stretches the field at tight end you can line them up in
05:36different formations different spots on the field and that's going to take some pressure off of Theo
05:42Johnson from being RTE1 all of these moves make sense and they're within bullet budget and that
05:50brings us to the draft but we're going to cover what the Giants need to do in the draft next
05:54week
05:55after free agency kicks off
