Lamar Hunt was great for the NFL 50 years ago.

In the past 38? Not so much.

But for the most part, this is not at all how the Giants have operated. Yeah, they gave a lot of money to Canty, and we'll see how that plays out. THey also re-signed Eli to a ton of money, but many teams give QBs huge contracts. Including us.

THe Giants are where they are at due to incredibly smart drafting, and not because they have a ton of money because they're in NY. It is smart personnel moves.

If it's an uncapped year, probably no one.

Restricted free agents are no longer free after 4 years.

It'll be five years, making it unlikely that anyone with massive talent will be stuck with their current team and current contract for one more year.

Of course it's due to smart personnel moves, but they also have a built in fiscal advantage with the cash on hand, which allows them to get more players for the same cap dollars due to how they structure the contracts.

But they also have a shit ton of money available, unlike a team like the Chiefs.

Right they've drafted well but they have the cash there to keep all those guys around and go get a FA if they want one.

In a matter of 2 years they gave giant contracts to Eli, Tuck and Canty, it's hard to see the Chiefs doing that because of the cash difference.

Oh just looked at the schedule forgot Pitt is on there. Talk about a bad one.

I'm not arguing who is more profitable. I am simply stating that they all operate under the same salary cap and rules for operating under it. This isn't MLB.

I'm not sure why you would infer that don't understand about large market teams and the CBA. Maybe you missed the part where I said "this all becomes moot if something can't get done with the CBA."

Let's put it this way, the Giants cash advantage means they can structure contracts to barely lose anyone even if they have a shitload of good players.

Yeah but I think the Chiefs are just a few players away from being more atleast competitive , atleast in the AFC west as the Chargers are probably on the downfall at least a little.

We just gave Cassel a huge contract. I expect us to do the same for Bowe soon, probably next year. And, by all accounts we were trying to throw large money at Haynesworth this past offseason.

I'll put it this way who would you guys like to see in the red and gold?

The Chiefs are 3 players away.....provided those players are John Elway, Lawrence Taylor and Barry Sanders.

It's not that huge.

The Chiefs could easily get out of it next year.

Eli's contract is alot bigger than Cassel's isn't it?
