I'll let Reese decide all this, the man clearly knows what he's doing.

WE MUST KEEP WEATHERFORD.

I believe we have to go after Manningham, McKenzie, Ballard and Weatherford. Our secondary takes a beating to free agency. Giants have to resign Ross and/or thomas. If not, they have to sign either Grimes, Rodgers, Carr or Finnegan. Don't really need a RB, but I wouldn't mind getting Forte or Rice. Plax is a free agent and knows the system so maybe reunion time? Oh and just imagine if Desean Jackson or Vincent Jackson joins up with Eli?

I say we let Manningham go. He was a hero yesterday and will command a high price in free agency, but he really makes a lot of mistakes and is clearly our #3. We'll have Hixon back and also Jernigan will probably get a good tryout in the preseason to compete for the slot position. The QB makes the receiver, not the other way.

Our secondary is a problem. It was our weak spot, so I'm inclined to let some people go and rebuild. I like Grant and Thomas, but who know what we'll get from him coming off a busted knee. Would love to get a hold of Carlos Rodgers, but he will be a hot commodity.

Weatherford should come back. Pay him whatever you have to. Blackburn too. That guy is a champ.

The other wildcard is Osi. He is likely to demand an extension again or ask for a trade. I love him, but he will probably go for a first or second round pick. If he goes, we should resign Tollefson.

Our tight ends were pretty inconsistent. I think Pascoe is more of a priority than Ballard who was injured a lot and had some big drops. I wouldn't go after Finley though. He is inconsistent and some team is going to offer him too much money.

That's a scary list. Instead of jumping on our side of it what I would really like to see is for the Giants to go after Carl Nicks and Jermichael Finley. They'll be too expensive though. Ah fuck it...have fun Reese!!!

Who we need to keep: WR-Mario Manningham-25 years old OR WR-Devin Thomas-25 years old

TE-Bear Pascoe-25 years old (I find him more reliable than Ballard. Ballard has heart, I give it to him, but has too many dropped passes)

DT-Rocky Bernard-32 years old

LB-Chase Blackburn-28 years old (he may not be the biggest, nor the fastest, but he is always there where he needs to be. He makes great plays and proved himself this season. If we hold on to him, we won't need Goff)

LB-Jonathan Goff-26 years old

CB-Aaron Ross-29 years old CB-Terrell Thomas-27 years old (We need both of these CB. Amakumara will do great, but our secondary will need guys like these).

P-Steve Weatherford-29 years old (DON'T YOU DARE LET THIS GUY GO!! he is the unsung hero of the Giants. He helped give us an edge when we need it the most.)

Off of the list form above, I really hope the following players are back in NYG blue next year: QB-David Carr-32 years old WR-Mario Manningham-25 years old TE-Bear Pascoe-25 years old OT-Kareem McKenzie-32 years old DT-Rocky Bernard-32 years old DE-Dave Tollefson-29 years old LB-Chase Blackburn-28 years old CB-Aaron Ross-29 years old CB-Terrell Thomas-27 years old P-Steve Weatherford-29 years old

Hopefully the Giants keep TT and Goff. Yes they were injured, but injuries where each can come back from and still play at a high level. A full off season for the Prince and keeping Thomas, Goff (plus Blackburn, Grant?, and Tollefson?) the defense should be good next year.

A secondary of Webster, Thomas, Prince, Phillips, Rolle, Grant/Ross) should be very good with the D-line coming back.

I love Kiwi, but I'm not sure he has a place in this defense. Doubt the Giants trade him though.

Anyway, I do like how the Giants build through the draft for the most part, so I'm fine with that. A little more depth on the OL, LB, and RB would be good.

Weatherford and Blackburn are probably the only locks to be re-signed. I love Super Mario but fear someone will grossly overpay for him.

I would like to see Ross/Grant come back. Grant is a bit old, but he is a good presence on the field. Terrell Thomas I feel should get a contract, still is a great corner. Weatherford must come back.

I'd say that Demetrius Bell, who didn't make your list, would be the best sign the Giants could make this off season. In terms of an immediate upgrade, it would actually upgrade 2 or 3 line spots, in a round about way.
