Boldin too pricey for Giants, but Braylon may not be

Of course there have been rumors surrounding the Giants and Braylon Edwards for weeks now, but Jerry Reese wouldn't comment on them, saying only: "I’m not talking about Braylon. That’s somebody else’s player, he’s under contract, and there’s nothing to talk about that. A lot of chatter, a lot of false reports."

There have also been some rumors and reports that the Giants could be interested in Anquan Boldin, whom the Cardinals publicly put on the trading block yesterday. The Cardinals, who still hope to re-sign Boldin, are apparently seeking a package that includes a first, third and firth-round draft choice. Reese made it sound as if that was too steep a price to pay.

“For the right player, you do whatever you can to make it happen,” he said. “We’ll do what’s best for the Giants and I don’t know if that’s the best thing for us to do, to package up a deal that valuable. We like our draft picks, we like developing players, and we won’t … force anything.”

But, Reese, said, it doesn’t mean the Giants won’t spend that much for someone else.

“Maybe not for anybody available,” he said, “but there’s a couple guys that might be worth that price.”
