For $1 million and one year it is worth the try. Only thing is they released a DT to make room for him. There are only 3 DTs on the roster and 5 DEs. Got to believe they know what they are doing. Wonder if he can play tackle too.

Not a bad move here at all.NFC East vet.can't hurt.

Jerome McDougle looked very good this preseason

September 1, 2008  12:24 PM ET

nooo.. i wanted the bengals to claim him

September 1, 2008  12:25 PM ET

This could come back to haunt us....typical do nothing in Philly go somewhere else and play well.

No-one can help this guy stay healthy...thats the gamble, but if anyone can squeeze some good play out of this guy it's spag's

If the giants find themselves in need of a LT or DT ( god forbid ) I believe goff should be the "odd man out"

The eagles grabbed tank daniels before we could get him on the PS so this is our grab from them. I hope McDougle's the vengefull type ( like me )

oBama oSama ...I don't get the Goff thing. He must have showed them something in practice I guess. They have a lot of DBs. Still think they are slim at DT. And Gilberry was put on the practice squad, he could be pretty good at DE. He may get picked up before the year is out... I know Spagnuola is creative. We shall see. Tank Daniels? Don't know. Cannot figure him out. The Eagles are thin at LB after their starters..Just hope they can stop the run..Need some big boys in the middle for that.

Actually Spags was never his coach. Jerome is a DE and Spags was the DB and LB coach before turning Benedict Arnold on his team. But it will be avery similar scheme for sure.

I think it was a good move. He's healthy now and should thrive in the Giants system.

September 1, 2008  06:51 PM ET

This was a no brainer im still suprised strahan stay retired

oBama oSama ...I don't get the Goff thing. He must have showed them something in practice I guess.

I think the giants draft staff are a being a little hessitant to admit to themselves that they might have reached on goff, that doesn't mean he doesn't have potential , but the gnts are too thin at DT to be stubborn, mainly because being on the PS does nothing to retain a player and gillberry would be able to help in the rotation more than the continually hurt goff being our 5th string LB.

tank daniels was a pretty darn good ST's player and a better LB than goff at this juncture. I really am not happy to lose him to.....of all teams, the eagles.
Their gonna pick his brain good before our matchup

Lastly, the loss of guy whimper hurts, kevin booth is the back up LT...totally unproven...are they looking for an upgrade their ? theres only so many roster spots . It's a shame olivia was a total waste of time I think he's back on the dope as we speak.

September 1, 2008  08:35 PM ET

G-Men are worrying about the DE position.

September 1, 2008  10:25 PM ET

oBama oSama ..You are right on the Whimper injury. He was becoming steady. Not sure the Lt spot is that sound and that means a lot of TE help.
Reese knows pro personel and talent though. I give him the benefit of the doubt. He has earned it. Getting closer. Glad to hear that Burress is getting healthy .

proof will come on game day.
