Giants got a new TE

Ben Patrick has agreed to a 1-yr deal with the Giants

I wonder what this mean for Boss.

I wonder what this mean for Boss.

Well both are average blockers, but I think Patrick has the potential to be a better receiver. I think he's a year younger, but injuries have slowed him down his entire career. It's kind of risky to assume he'll stay healthy for us, but I actually think Boss is headed downhill. After those concussions he's just not as sure-handed as he once was.

I think Boss is gone.

Unless you are afraid Bradshaw is going to try and pull an Osi. I don't see what the big deal is right now. Just enjoy the fact that he is signed and under contract.

I just think he deserved at least 4 yrs 20 mil with a little more guaranteed. Afterall he was pretty much our featureback last season and was heavily used the season previous yet had a very small contract.

I dont get it, Patrick isnt the receiver Boss is really. Boss and Eli have chemistry and Boss also probably isnt being given alot of attention from other teams, so why arent we bringing him in?

[LTgiants]

I think Boss and Patrick are going to be your 1 and 2 at TE and Beckum is going to be gone. Unless Hynoski really shows he is the starting FB then maybe Pascoe will be gone.

[Malaka]

I am sure I am not the only who saw Boss getting beat up all year when he caught the ball. If you noticed, he also became a much more hesitant receiver. I think the front office realizes this, and doesn't think much of Boss anymore.

EDIT: That's just what I am feeling at the moment, because I can't explain why else Boss has yet to be signed. I could have this all wrong though.

[Giantsfan1080]

Yeah I think this probably means Boss is a goner.

I agree with you, Boss takes the worst hits on a consistent basis out of any player i've seen. I still want him, he has heart and makes big plays. Beckum hasn't done diddly so i think Patrick vs Beckum is indeed whats happening.

Pascoe is our blocking TE if not FB, we can't afford to get rid of him.

If Hynoski shows he is ready to be the FB and the Giants dont want to cut Beckum. I think Patrick is a good enough blocker to make up for losing Pascoe.

I think Patrick signing is more of a worry of Beckum getting cut then Boss not coming back.

[D-Unit]

Smith next and I'll be happy. We should have made a bigger play for Zach Miller.

I would've hated that.

So what's your FA haul like so far? Dallas' one is sickening.

[Jughead10]

Apparently Boss wants to come back but his agent is holding out for more money. There doesn't seem to be much of a market out there for him. Reese has been playing hardball this entire week. I think Boss ends up coming back and on our terms.

Everyone seems they want to stay and are willing to make sacrifices to do so. Makes me hate Osi right now so much more.

The Osi thing as a football move is going to hurt us so much even though I'm pissed as hell he's acting like a whiny little baby. I really don't want to see him get traded. With the Bradshaw deal being less than I thought I wouldn't mind if they gave Osi a little more money for the next 2 years so make him happy again.

[Giantsfan1080]

I like what the Giants did bringing in Baas and Weatherford and keeping our guys like Bradshaw and Kiwi. I'd like to add some more D-Line depth though especially if Osi is traded.
