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, Big Trust, Woo Boo. Chris Bizzignano. Chris, what's going on?

It's over a week, buddy, huh?

Wait, if we get back to the training camp.

We start doing two weeks, like two a days, like football tonight, two weeks, right?

Yeah, we start doing two weeks, like two a days,

like football time, right?

Two weeks, right? We got to go back to two weeks, man. This is brutal. Yeah, yeah. You know what, dude, maybe we'll pick it up when the draft starts. We'll start doing two weeks, right? Yeah, and it's funny. Yeah. Since everybody's custody with free agency, well, you know.

I sent a, I sent the, maybe, well, you know.

I sent a, I sent the, um, the Twitter questions tweet out today. And I sent it out at two o'clock. And we got 86 responses. So that tells me people are dying to talk giants, right? Like, like it's usually I'll send that out in the morning and I'll get around 70 or so. So today I sent it out, I think, late today, like around 1, 2 o o'clock and we got over 86 or 88 responses something like that but um buddy a a theme on Twitter lately has been of course

Leonard Williams in particular and I know you had some thoughts that you wanted to share on the

subject yeah well you know the franchise tags are right around the corner. It's actually two weeks from, let's say, Jared, you love, right? Yeah, two weeks from today. Yeah. You could start franchising players, you know, putting the tags on these guys. So, you know, you hate to really get a feel of agency to these tags come out, right? Like, there's some good edge guys out there, but is Shaq Barrett going to make it, right? Is he going to get tagged? Is Dante Fowler going to get tagged? You know, guys like that. So it's tough to really get into free agency until these tags are out, right? And then you start playing now. Now you can see who you got, right? Yep. who the giant's going to target. Now, obviously, there's only one guy on the Giants. Well, there's two guys, actually. Marcus Gold is the other one, but obviously the big one is going to be Leonard Williams, right? Yep. What are they going to do with Leonard Williams? Now, here's the thing. What is he worth? Now, Kettleman's going to try to sign him we all know that right because he traded

gave up a three form but what is he going to give him yeah right jerry that's the magic

question now what is he really worked on a market nine 10 11 tops okay so every year

a free agent and this and that are you kick it up a little bit more, right? Yeah. Now, I don't want to hear this crap. You ready? Yep. Well, you know, Grady Jarrett got 17 last year, so, you know, it's free agency, so he's got to get more than that. Got, folks, he's not in the same league as Grady Jarrett. Right. Okay. So what is he going to get? Now, if you're franchised, you'll be looking at like 15, right?

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. It's projected right around 15. About that. Okay. So is he now, here's a couple things.

All when people say this. You ready? Yep. It's not your money, Chris.

What do you care?

Well, here's my answer to that.

Two things.

One, I cover the Giants.

Right.

Two, I'm a Giants fan.
