FREEEEEEEEEEEE AGENCYYYYYYYY MADNESSSSSSS
aka - how not to win a SB and set your franchise back by 3-4 years.
some crazy amounts being thrown around for good-but-not-great players ... that's the first 1-2 days of FA for ya

Giants are stacking up on defense!!! Jason Pierre-Paul, Damon Harrison, Janoris Jenkins, Olivier Vernon!
Giants brass is desperate to save their jobs now that Caughlin is gone and there is no one left to play the role of the scapegoat.
When the G-Men had good teams in the past, they built thru the draft, not splashy signings in FA ... that is, like any other successful franchise in the FA/salary cap era.

Malik Jackson got JJ money. Is he that good?
No, but Jags are that stupid ...

Not even close. He benefitted massively from playing alongside Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware, two of the best on the edge in football.
He's good, but not worth anywhere near that kind of money. First year starter in his 4th year in the league last year, and he was very good, but I'm betting on a bit of a one hit wonder. Should have gotten slightly higher numbers than Wolfe resigned for Denver for, 4 years 39 mil. 6 years 90 mil is absurd. Shouldn't have received over 12 mil a year imo.
Jacksonville looks like they may have some decent talent on the line next year but I think we'll see him struggle a bit without Ware and Miller.
@acmilan
basically ... good player but no where near worth a team like the Jags is giving him. Actually, I like Wolfe better than MJ and at less than 10 mil APR, he's a bargain imo, considering the type of money flying around in FA this year with the cap rising another 12 mil iirc and projected to rise again next year by about the same amount.
