It\u2019s logical for teams to sign free agents their coaches have worked with in the past, but execs thought the Titans took this to an unhealthy extreme, especially when reuniting new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll with receiver Wan\u2019Dale Robinson and cornerback Cor\u2019Dale Flott, who both played under Daboll on the Giants.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey signed two really high-level players in free agency: John Franklin-Myers, who (head coach Robert) Saleh did have a relationship with, and they signed Alontae Taylor, who they did not have a relationship with,\u201d an exec said. \u201cBut then you bring in Wan\u2019Dale Robinson and Cor\u2019Dale Flott for a lot of money, and it\u2019s like, what are you doing? I did not get that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Multiple execs were surprised by how much Robinson commanded.<\/p>\n
\u201cWan\u2019Dale stepped up for the Giants when (Malik) Nabers went down,\u201d one said. \u201cHe\u2019s really small, but he is quick, and he\u2019s tough. I liked him, but he is really like a No. 3. He got paid the same as Rashid Shaheed, another small guy who is explosive and competitive. This is the GM (Mike Borgonzi) giving Daboll what he says he needs to develop the young QB.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s logical for teams to sign free agents their coaches have worked with in the past, but execs…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":651962,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2067],"tags":[7,519,1917,56,7558,2321,2469,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-849629","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-giants","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-giants","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-giants","12":"tag-new-york-giants-free-agency","13":"tag-newyork","14":"tag-newyorkgiants","15":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116336174636537768","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/849629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=849629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/849629\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/651962"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=849629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=849629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=849629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
