It is Day 2 of the legal tampering period, otherwise known as full-blown NFL free agency. On Day 1 on Monday and already early Tuesday, teams with money to spend are handing out record-breaking contracts for instant gratification, adding talent to rosters at set-the-market prices that excite fans now and, quite likely, will become financial burdens later.
This is how it goes every year, as the teams with the most salary-cap space making meteoric-sized splashes, agreeing to terms with players now known as “the highest-paid [add position] in the league.” The Giants, last we checked, remain a member of the NFL and thus are allowed to join the fray.
