Giants are on a spending spree. Jenks was right place, right time for that pay day.
CB Jenks - $12.5m
DT Harrison $9.25m
DE Olivier Vernon $17m
Said to be $105m in guranteed money to three D players. Wow. Guess, they are gonna show Coughlin. Wonder if Spags can do this or mess it up?

This signing comes at the tail end of a day when the Giants signed cornerback Janoris Jenkins for $12.5 million a year and defensive tackle Damon Harrison for $9.25 million a year. All told, $105.5 million in guaranteed money to three defensive players in one day. It's a New York free-agent spending spree to do the memory of the late Yankees owner George Steinbrenner proud.
Taken as a whole, this is crazy, and nearly all of football history says it's unlikely to work. But taken individually, from the standpoint of a team that's decided to spend like crazy to rebuild the worst defense in the league, the signings aren't the worst ones the Giants could have made.
