As a Giants fan, what else is there to look forward to? LOLCry
After yesterday, I would be depressed to be a Giants fan. I think signing Schwartz was a great move, but given they could have gotten Schofield and Jennings for under $2M combined easily last July. I'm not sure what they saw out of Schofield's 144 snaps last year that warrants him going from about $900,000 to $8M for 2 years. Jennings I would start questioning his age at this point (I think he's past his prime), and they're giving him almost $2M when it could have been about $630,000 last summer.

And don't get me started on Peyton Hills.

I think the most interesting thing yesterday was the Saints signing Jarius Byrd, because it tells me they don't expect to hold on to Jimmy Graham. They're going to have to restructure a ton of contracts to cover him in the future, plus the Falcons and Bucs got significantly better yesterday. Of course, the Saints have the same issue the Broncos had this season (lots of stars at the top, and next to nobody in terms of backups). We'll see what happens in the draft, but I think the Saints need to stay incredibly healthy to have any chance of winning another SB.

I'm happy to see the Ravens sign Dennis Pitta (TE),Eugene Monroe (LT),and Jacoby Jones (WR) to 4-5 year deals for very decent money that still leaves us with some money to spend in FA.

Seeing as how Kubiak is now our OC and he loves Owen Daniels I expect to see him in purple and black.We need another TE with the departure of Ed Dickson.

Ravens center Gino Gradkowski will be nothing but a perennial under performer and we must move on.He just doesn't have what it takes to play center at a high level.I want Alex Mack,but that probably won't happen.

Need another WR but Tate is gone and Decker just signed with the Jets.I don't care for Nicks and signing Jones to a 4 year deal might cool us down toward Edelman.Steve Smith might be a good,shorter term option.

I'm rambling..........................Confused

Broncos aren't screwing around, that's for sure.

Though thankfully, F1 is starting up soon and I am kinda a little bit excited for Baseball this year (lol we'll see how that goes) so I can distract myself soon. 
Until then, Giants have made a lot of offseason moves I've liked, glad they didn't pull a Colts and decided NOW to upgrade the team..not hold on for 4 more years

Indeed he (Stevie) has! They also resigned the kicker...but better news is they agreed to terms with Beason.

Reports are coming in that Jacoby Jones will be visiting the Giants as well. If they have the $$ to sign him that would be great. Even if it's just a special teams boost...would be nice to have a dangerous return man. And the one player I would like the giants to at least consider is TE Owen Daniels...who was released by the Texans yesterday.

All in all though, I'm glad the giants are being active in free agency.

Yeah, was sad to see Linval go...great player. 
Guess that how cap casualties go. 

So far G men seem to be aiming for OL and DBs, as well as RBs. I hear Stevie Brown is likely to (if not) re signing so that'd be great.

Free agency is off and running. Some pretty big moves being made, but I'll make this first post about the giants.

Giants to sign R. Jennings (RB), G Schwartz (G), and O Schofield (LB). P Hillis re-signed with the team as well. L Joseph signs a 5 year deal with Minnesota and reports are implying that Andre Brown may be expendable...which is not what I want to hear. Though that last bit is still in pre-rumor stage.
