-- Darren Waller to Decide Future by June 12th --
Tue Apr 9, 2024 --from FFMastermind.com

NBC Sports reports New York Giants TE Darren Waller says he will take his time before deciding whether to retire. “I have to make a decision at some point,” Waller said. “You have to be 100 percent bought in for the grind. And I have to make sure I am bringing that to the table or it’s a disservice to the guys I am suiting up with. I also want to give the team time, where whichever way I go, they can prepare for next season. So, . . . it’s a little bit of a difficult decision, but here we are.” The Giants presumably would love to know by the NFL draft on April 25th whether Waller is planning to play a second season in New York. “That would be ideal, but I also don’t want to put that on myself,” Waller said. “It’s got to be before summer break, for sure.” The Giants break for the summer on June 12th.

I’m a guy who’s evolving, who’s growing, who’s played a lot of football and been through a lot.” Waller said the decision will ultimately come down to whether he believes he’s ready to go all-in on another season. “I’m at the point now where I’m like, ‘OK, how much am I willing to give to the process,’” Waller said. “If it’s not 100%, it’s a disservice to the teammates and the organization that I have. I’m still trying to make a decision on that and it’s tough to make one or the other out of emotion.”

-- Saquon Barkley Drawing a Lot of Interest --
Sun Mar 10, 2024 --from FFMastermind.com

ESPN reports the Los Angeles Chargers, Baltimore Ravens and Chicago Bears are believed to be serious suitors fro free-agent RB Saquon Barkley. The rival Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys have interest, but aren't expected to reach Barkley's price point. Still, they shouldn't be completely counted out because they are, at the very least, involved in the running back market. The Houston Texans are also rumored to have interest. The general consensus from more than a dozen general managers, executives, coaches, scouts and agents surveyed at the combine was that Barkley's worth is in the range of $10 million per year as a free agent. One general manager thought the running back market would crater for a second straight year and be in the $8 million range, while an agent with recent experience with a running back thought Barkley's name value would get him $12-14 million per season. Those were the high and low estimates, but most thought somewhere around three years and $30 million.

-- Darren Waller Retirement Decision Coming Soon --
Thu Mar 7, 2024 --from FFMastermind.com

Wed Feb 21, 2024 --from FFMastermind.com

-- Wink Martindale Officially Leaves Giants Coaching Staff --
Wed Jan 10, 2024 --from FFMastermind.com

ESPN reports the New York Giants and DC Wink Martindale have officially mutually parted ways.

-- Wink Martindale in Limbo? --
Wed Jan 10, 2024 --from FFMastermind.com

The New York Post reports if Wink Martindale has resigned his position as the Giants’ defensive coordinator, he is advised to notify the Giants of his decision. As of Tuesday evening, the team had not heard anything from Martindale, who stormed out of the building on Monday, and Tuesday morning was on a flight headed to a home he has in Florida. What is apparent is that Martindale and the Giants are done after two seasons, with clear and present signs that Martindale and HC Brian Daboll endured through a deteriorating relationship that could no longer continue. Martindale is under contract and owed $3 million for the 2024 season. He forfeits that money if he indeed resigns his position. Also, if he resigns, his contract simply does not go away. A resignation would allow the Giants to prevent Martindale from accepting a job with another team, which is not a situation Martindale wants to get embroiled in. Thus, his wildly emotional response to Daboll firing his most loyal confidant, outside linebackers coach Drew Wilkins, along with his younger brother Kevin, a defensive assistant, has ramifications that need to get cleaned up, contractually, before Martindale and the Giants part ways.

There was just one random snap for WR Sterling Shepard on the RB Saquon Barkley run that got blown up before the two minute warning. There was no offensive snaps for WR Parris Campbell. WR Darius Slayton (4 catches-69 yards) remains the clear WR1. WR Jalen Hyatt (3-21) and WR Wan'Dale Robinson (8-62) were the other WRs in 11 personnel. Hyatt and WR Isaiah Hodgins (no targets) rotated in 12 personnel. Hodgins got snaps in red zone. Hyatt had a big-boy 12-yard catch on fourth-and-5 on the final drive. He would have had an impressive 43-yard grab in the second quarter if not for a dubious ineligible man downfield penalty. Robinson repeatedly found the soft spots in the zone and got up field for clutch third-down conversions.

The Athletic reports New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley played 78% of the snaps (60 of 77) on Sunday night. He subbed out more than usual, but certainly there was no pitch count. He had 18 carries for 31 yards through three quarters and then broke the two long runs to start the fourth. He didn't look 100%, but he still brings a big-play threat that no other tailback does for the team.
