-- Giants Won't Give First Day Pick for McGahee --
Mon Feb 26, 2007 --from FFMastermind.com
The Star Ledger reports regardless of the ramifications of Giants GM Jerry Reese's disclosure, a trade for RB Willis McGahee isn't very likely because Reese said he won't part with a first-day draft pick in a trade -- even though Reese said the Bills haven't placed a specific price tag on McGahee. Also, McGahee would require more than the 15 carries a game Reese expects the back he'll add to get. He said he thinks RB Brandon Jacobs should get 20 per game. There are other free-agent options for the Giants, including RB Ahman Green, RB Dominic Rhodes and RB Correll Buckhalter. The Chargers' RB Michael Turner will be a restricted free agent, meaning the Giants would have to give up at least one early round pick to sign him. Reese's stance about keeping first-day picks would seem to eliminate Turner as an option. And there are other trade options, such as Bears RB Thomas Jones and RB Tatum Bell of the Broncos. "We'll investigate everybody out there with the trade talk," Reese said. "We'll leave no stone unturned as far as that goes."
