Brandon Marshall stays in NY

Giants signed WR Brandon Marshall, formerly of the Jets, to a two-year, $12 million contract.

 

Marshall takes a bit of a pay cut in annual average to stay home in East Rutherford and join a contender. He was initially scheduled to earn $7.5 million from the Jets in 2017 before being cut last week. The Giants badly needed another proven receiver to take some heat off Odell Beckham and provide an upgrade on Victor Cruz. Marshall meets those qualifications and should be in line for a nice bounce-back season in a pass-happy offense that doesn't currently employ a strong on-paper running game or tight end. Eli Manning will have to pick up his play to make it work, however. Marshall turns 33 in two weeks but is back to fantasy WR2 status.

Giants and Cowboys are going to have a dog fight for the NFCE this year.

Only probably has a couple years left in the tank but they're not on the hook for anything after than that. Great move by the shit head G-Men.

Really happy with this move. As much as I love Cruz, he didn't return to the level of play needed to be a #2 and it was a bit too much for Sterling in his 1st year. OBJ now gets more protection and likely more big play opportunities, Sterling gets time to improve from the slot, Eli gets a proven WR that can play the possession WR role. This will also ease some of the focus on Perkins in his second year and Vareen on his return.
