    Does lance know that this is a giants show? ! One day he breaks down every detail from the 18 seasons of the ravens under John H which was wayyy too much detail and about as boring as anything . Second day he is reviewing the coaching vacancies around the league which is cool meanwhile there is a bank of calls. I tried calling both days and never got on

Big Blue Kickoff Live I April 8, 2026
Q: Which players are the Giants likely to target at five—that would maximize long-term impact?

Q: Could a team sign a practice squad player away, and could the player reject it?
Yes, teams can sign players off practice squads, and players can choose to stay on the practice squad or move to the active roster; many players prefer the NFL roster but may have reasons to stay.

Q: What happens to a vet on the practice squad if they are signed to the team and then cut?
If a veteran signs a one-year deal with no guaranteed money and is later cut and re-added to the practice squad, they sign a new practice squad contract paid week-to-week; if elevated to the active roster, they receive a minimum game check for those games.

Q: Which OSU players are viewed as potential long-term franchise players?

Q: What is Harold Perkins expected to be in the NFL, and how does his build affect his fit?
Perkins is seen as a versatile, space-player who could be an edge rusher or 3-down backer, but his best fit will depend on finding a defensive coordinator who can maximize his hybrid skill set.
