Hey, Giant Fans. Welcome to The Giant Insider Podcast. My name is Jerry Foley. I'm the senior editor of the Giant Insider newspaper. And with me, as always, is the beat writer in the heart of Giants Nation? Chris Bisignano.

Buddy, you put out a, not a poll, but a question a couple days ago about Evan Ingram. And, man, is there a more polarizing figure on this team right now than Evan

Ingram? Yeah. You know, a lot of people are just down on him, you know, because he, you know,

he hasn't been on the field the last few years. You know, I get it too, Jerry. I really do.

Yeah. You know, I was just saying that, you know what's going to happen, right, Jerry. You know what's going to happen right jerry you know what's

going to happen dude oh yeah i we've said it all year yeah he is going to go somewhere else and

he'll go to new england absolute superstar somewhere else right he'll go to new england yeah

and catch 90 balls and be like a gronk for them except the blocking part you know obviously but

you know you know you're not you know he'll he'll be a dynamic player you know he's just so he's so talented jerry that

you just hate to give up on him and it's two years like he'll be his fourth year next year right

yep and then you know you could pick up that option which you'll be around six million it's not

much for tight ends. Right. Right.

So that's not a big cap hit at all.

And I know people are down on him, but, you know, Jerry, I just worry about that one year. He goes 16 games. Yeah. And you sort of know me he was putting up. Yep. you know, before he got injured this year,

you know, you just, you just,

he might be one of those guys, you know, that's, you know,

listen, he gets injured a lot, but what if he doesn't, Jerry, right? What if he does play 16 next year? What kind of numbers does he put up with Jones? And what if he doesn't get picked up? They let him walk for agency. What happens with his new team and he stays healthy? And that's just something i feel because he has so much talent yeah you put out a you put out

the tweet you said giants have December 30th to may first to decide whether or not to pick up

ingram's fifth year should they yeah you had 204 likes which probably means yes they should

you had six re tweets so you know what that means i don't know if i like it or not i'm going six retweets. So you know what?

That means I don't know if I like it or not. I'm going to retweet it. And then you had 216 responses. And I mean, they range from hell no to absolutely. And they're all over the board. I think your point about $6 million for me. And we can get into this later in the year and into the offseason. But I think because it's only $6 million and he has so much talent, I still think you do it.

I actually think you might draft a tight end or bring one in a free agency as kind of insurance.
