Especially, when considering the need factor and the connection with their Defensive Coordinator.

Exactly
Quote:I could see the Giants signing James Laurinaitis.
With Beason retiring, it definitely makes sense especially if they're looking at Jaylon Smith in the draft. Let Laurenaitis start for a season while Smith heals up, then move him into a backup role in 2017.
I see Long going to Oakland.
I'd take laurinitis (sp) in a heartbeat. Really solid player who can command a defense and buy us a few years at the position.

His father likely will be pushing hard for this behind the scenes. It could easily become a reality.

Double post.

Precisely why I see it happening.
Long will want to go somewhere where he has a chance at a title. Think GB or something like that.
I'd kick the tires on Long assuming we strike out on Williams, Vernon etc. I'll pass on the rest.
We won't have a chance. They'll sign with a super bowl contender team for backup depth.
Honestly wouldn't mind Cook at the right price if Marcedes or Harbor don't come back.

You make it sound like that would be a bad thing.
I would be interested in Long for sure. He Represents a nice pass rush floor for this team and I doubt he commands a large contract.
Yes Vernon is a better option, but only one team gets to walk away from free agency with Vernon. Having Long already on the team reduces a desperate need for this team. One we cannot risk playing the Vernon lottery.
The walking wounded and the unproductive. The Jags can give them a nice retirement package on the way out. Hugh Douglas approved.
Pass.
Long is spent. His best football is behind him. James is Brandon Spikes 2.0
Cook is not on JT level.
Let me be clear though....I'd take Long over Branch.

What the hell does this even mean? Did you think anyone was clamoring for Thomas to be replaced by Cook? Really?
I'd take none of them. Jared Cook would probably do well in our offense and be a nice pickup due to Thomas' frequent injuries, but I'm not looking to spend money on a TE.
