A curveball that seems likely in some cases is Reggie Bush. I think he could do better here with the tempo change between Blount and him. I know hes an idiot, but hes got all the intangibles, and he could add some life to his career if he can get into a system like ours.

I know hes an idiot, but hes got all the intangibles, and he could add some life to his career if he can get into a system like ours.I'd love to get Reggie Bush, but I would instantly insert him into the slot role. I'd use him exactly how the VIkes use Harvin, full time receiver with spot carries as a change of pace at RB.
I have a feeling that we will definitely be suprised (a good suprise) by something he does. He'll make a trade for somebody that we weren't even thinking we had a chance at getting.
You were simply too smart for me.
I think the curveball will come in the form of a trade as opposed to FA.
Osi Umenyiora. Hes got 2 years left on his contract, which hes upset with and wanted a new one. The Giants reportedly promised him a new one, but being close to the cap, its unlikely he gets a new contract. Being snubbed 2 years in a row may be enough to push him over the edge. Hes allegedly thinking about holding out as well. Giants could free up some cap space, Osi gets a new deal. Only thing is he doesnt want to be a backup. He could start here and have a good rotation with the 2 rookies that were just drafted and provide insurance for Bowers if he has some sort of a set back.The FA that I think would be somewhat of a surprise is Kiwanuka. Hes played both LB and DE for the Giants and could fit the "hybrid" role for Raheem. They seem to take chances on guys with injury concerns but have produced. His disk injury is concerning though and may effect whats left of his career and maybe even his quality of life if he injures it further.
I doubt it happens, but a sweet surprise would be seeing Deangelo Williams brought in. Talk about an instant upgrade for the O.
