GIANTS NEWS & UPDATES:

Giants Love Dockery Tender – The Giants extended a 2nd-Round tender to CB Kevin Dockery on Wednesday, according to Mike Garafolo of the Star-Ledger. As you recall from past times, this means that Dockery can go play the market, but if another team makes an offer for him, they will have to match or beat the Giants offer (of $1.545) and they will have to offer the G-Men a 2nd Round Draft pick. It’s certainly possible for this to happen, but my gut tells me Dockery will be back-in-blue in August/September.

Ward Awaiting His Walk – The 2nd component of the New York Giants run game (in the 2007-8 seasons), Derrick Ward, has claimed he is ready to move on and leave Big Blue behind him. While appearing on Rome Is Burning, Ward explained that while he’s open to potentially returning to the Giants next year, no efforts have been made to retain him since the final game of the 2008 season (grrr!), and regardless, he is eager to see what else is out there for him in the NFL.

The Devil Rosenhaus Expands His Grasp – I suppose that it’s worth mentioning that the ever-present player agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has shown his face once again in the land o’ Giants and scooped up Derrick Ward and Kevin Dockery as clients. Super. I’m sure this development has no part of Ward’s new confidence in flying the nest.

Butler Free to Roam – The New York Giants are allowing S James Butler to play the Free Agency market and see what’s out there for him. As a Butler fan personally, I was disappointed to see that there was not greater support shown for him, but hopefully he will return next year with Dockery.  

Former Giant, Brad Van Pelt, Passes Away at 57 – According to numerous sources, including Ralph Vacchiano of the NY Daily News, former Giants LB, Brad Van Pelt, passed away on Tuesday of what appears to be a heart attack. Van Pelt played for Big Blue for 11 years and was one of the main components of the Giants “Crunch Bunch” that my father told me so much about (I did watch the Crunch Bunch but was just starting to watch football, unfortunately). Van Pelt was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2001 and was nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2005.
