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

Buddy, it's been too long. It's been over a week since we did this. And since then, you know, Twitter is ablaze with free agent rumors, all kinds of stuff being said and written, my man.

Yeah.

Well, listen, we, you know, we sat back a little bit to see what the franchise tags, which is creeping.

I think because of the new CBA, you know, teams are waiting to see what the hell happens with that.

Right. You know, teams are waiting to see what the hell happens with that. Right.

You know, free agency is a couple weeks away.

It looks like a couple of big needs will be tagged, though.

It looks like Tampa Bay, Mike, tags, Jack Barrett.

Yeah, so that dream ends.

That dream ends quickly, huh?

Yeah, well, you know, that's something everybody expected. It looks like Chris Jones might get tagged in Kansas City. And we'll see, you know. Listen, Jerry, there's a lot of wild stuff going on on Twitter. I mean, even as far as Tom Brady being the quarterback of the Giants next year. I mean, that's one that just won't die. I mean, this is where we're at here. I mean, I think it's, I mean, it's so ridiculous, you know, what's going around. That is one of them. Listen, Jerry, New England is waiting to see what goes on with this new CBA contract with the players. Then I think they'll make their pitch for Brady and get him back in. I don't think he's going anywhere. But as far as going to Giants, I mean, that is ludicrous. Okay, so this is the stuff that's going on Twitter now. You see stuff going around. You see some more clickbait about Derek Brown. Gettoman likes Brown. I take him with number four. I mean, I mean, are you kidding me? I mean, how does anybody know what Getteman's thinking right now? I mean, this is, if we go through this every year, Jerry, and it's no different this year. Yeah, I mean, I always feel like telling Giant fans, like, let's all back, and this is bad for business, so I shouldn't say it, but like back away from Twitter for a while, because there's so much speculation, like someone puts out an article, you know, does this make sense? Does that make sense? Should the Giants trade back? Should they stay put? Are they going to take this Derek Brown kid from Auburn, right? You know, it's another defensive tackle. Well, he's really not a defensive tackle. He's a monster, right? He's like six, four, six five, three 25, uh, you know, he's a, he's a stud of a player. It's just there's no one knows, like you said, right? You always say it all the time, dude. No one knows, right? What, what, what is keeping the Tom Brady thing alive is people reading into Joe Judge's responses, right?

Like he won't talk about Daniel Jones.

Well, he's not talking about anybody, right?

That doesn't mean he wants Tom Brady on the team.

Yeah, let's get into the judge thing a little bit, Jerry.

Yeah.

You know, he was ex again and, you know, and a lot of people thinking that he's just

maybe not crazy about Jones.

Listen, it's, is it a little weird again?

He said, oh, I'm not going to get into Jones again.

Yeah, it is, you know.
