If I had an American account I'd go and invest some money in Ryan Shazier on fantex. They anticipate a deal of $39m for 4 years when he becomes a free agent in 2018. Bit conservative going by today.

They've got Sanu too, and after predicting just over $5m per for him it looks like he'll get $7m+.

Crazy.

Bennett is pissed

My first thought as well. Good luck with extending him beyond 2016.

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.

Do some GMs compete over how rich they can make certain players? Do some of these GMs compete with themselves to do so?

Completely ridiculous amounts of money going into these signings, I hate it when weak teams completely blow up the salary structure because they are desperate!
