Sam Madison looks like he may be cut/released today. The Giants have four guys that are almost locks to make the roster and Madison is possibly on the outs. I was wondering if you guys think we should/could bring him in? At the CB, we're thin and if an injury was to happen, it would be even worse. Madison could compete with Lehan or Goodman for the # 2 or nickel spot in the defense. Give him a small deal, one year, veterans minimum and if he does nothing, you let him go.

Alen, I think that would be a great idea. Would cost us next to nothing, yet would bring a veteran prescence here. I don't know if Pasquiloni, Sparano or Parcells has a history with him, and if they might have someone else who does have one with them on their radar already. But its a great suggestion bro, at least from this fan's perspective.

He's on the decline, and he's still a guy who is at his best limited to man coverage.

Always liked Madison and especially rooted for his team. I would love to give him a min contract and he could be a nice situational corner. At worst, give him a chance to retire a Dolphin.

I would love for him to come in and be our nickle as long as he doesn't think he should be paid like a king.

I just don't think that this regime is looking for a Madison...I don't know that he's any better now than the guys we have....He's certainly lost a step or two...I just don't know that he'd really have any impact at all right now, unless someone is not as healthy as is being advertised...(Lehan)...

Madison is a smart player with a ton of experience but I just don't like what he brings to the table physically at this stage in his career. He was never a good tackler from the position and his speed is a liability. Combined with the fact that we look to be a 3-4 D playing alot of zone coverage and he was alwasys a man to man guy, I just can't see it happening.

Madison seems safe, Sammy Knight is the one on the outside looking in according to all the local news..

In the right situation he would be a great mentor on the field coach and his intelligence would make plays alone.

Not to hijack this thread, but there are rumors that they might be cutting Sinorice Moss. Is he worth a look? I remember his name from the draft.
The nostalgia value would be nice, but I don't think he would fit in with the rest of the young players we have now. -

The Giants have three veteran defensive backs, Knight, Sam Madison and R.W. McQuarters, to handle backup roles. It may not be fiscally smart to keep all three, but Coughlin could hope to get by with three safeties to keep a sixth cornerback, leaving Knight on the outside.

They have also been saying the same thing on the radio. Phillips has played very well making Knight iffy to make the team.alen1 likes this. -
Sinorice Moss and Brandon London are in contention for the sixth wide receiver spot, with Moss a potential candidate for a trade for either defensive line depth or a draft pick. The brash London has made a strong impression, but if he clears waivers could find a home on the practice squad for a second straight year.

All those bubble Giants made the team, at least for now. Madison, McQuarters and Moss...

I love to see former Dolphins who were good contributors to the team get a SB ring .
I just dont see him fitting in a rebuilding team looking for youth to grow with the team.
Hopefully the Giants will keep him around for another year .A player with his experience can be very helpful in the playoffs -
Parcells never thought that much of Madison. I remember BP on his show was listing the top CB tandems back when we had Madison and Surtain he didn't include them. When asked about it he said that he wants his corners to support against the run and that they, particularly Madison didn't do that well enough. So if Madison becomes available it doesn't seem likely that he'd be on our radar.

Im not sure he will be but if he is i wouldnt be opposed to bringing him in.

But man on man, with a good safety behind him, he is one of the best in the buisiness. He had an excellent game against Randy Moss in last years Super Bowl, and a very solid year all around.
