I mean that, literally. He signed today with the Miami Dolphins.
 So the Giants let an experienced kicker go, who made 84% of his kicks over two seasons. What I’ve been reading around the ‘Net is pretty consistent. Feely isn’t the best kicker going, but the Giants have now exposed another position on their roster that needs attention. Are we really confident in rookie kicker Josh Huston? In that Meadowlands wind?
Wide receiver Kevin Curtis of the Rams was in yesterday. He’ll be 29 by mid-summer and has five years of NFL experience. Looks mainly like a 3rd or 4th receiver (can you say goodbye Tim Carter if he signs?). He fired his agent on Monday so he can’t sign a contract for five days.
By the way, Lance Briggs, franchised by the Bears, wants to be traded. Translation: he is pissed about being tagged and forced to settle for a one-year contract. I really can’t see any type of deal being worked out where the Giants could acquire him. I have a feeling Jerry Reese is going to be from the George Young School of GM’ing: hold onto draft choices like they’re gold (and not giving a damn what anyone thinks).
Curtis signed with the Eagles about a week ago. Obviously, this was the better choice for him. He’d be behind Plax and Toomer, and most likely in the same position he was with the Rams (the 3rd receiver). Throw Moss into the mix and it was probably a bit too crowded for his liking. But of course the clincher is always money, and the Eagles threw a big contract at him. With Stallworth gone, he’ll compete for the #1 spot there and certainly be the #2 guy. Also, I called him “3rd or 4th” receiver, which was not totally fair. I think he is an ideal #3, slot receiver. He’ll have to prove he is a one or two receiver with the Birds.
