Friday’s Giants News
There are a whole bunch of rumors out there. The Giants and the Jaguars are interested in QB Cleo Lemon who started in Miami in 2007 after Trent Green got injured. Jerry Reese is in Tennessee to receive an award so he won’t be making any deals today. Not only are the Eagles interested in Asante Samuel, but Samuel is expected to walk out of Philly with a big fat contract. Bill Parcells is wheeling and dealing with everybody today. There are rumor on top of what they have done already, but The Tuna has been very busy. Parcells is also looking to add former Cowboys to the Dolphins like Julius Jones and Jason Fabini. The Saints want Shockey. They called up Jerry Reese to make a trade, and he declined.
I am very upset about losing 2 out of 4 free agents half way through the first day of Free Agency. Mitchell signed with the Bills and Torbor agreed to terms with the Dolphins. Hopefully JR will impress us like he did last season.
