Johnathan Hankins has been trying to hard to top the Giants’ standing offer to retain him. He hasn’t done it yet and the G-Men are getting antsy. The Giants want an answer from him soon, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets.

Over the weekend, we heard that the Giants have a “50-50” chance of keeping the defensive tackle. The Giants’ exact offer to the 25-year-old is not known, but Ralph Vacchiano of SNY says they’re unlikely to offer him anything more than a one-year, $4MM deal because of their cap situation. That would be a crushing blow to Hankins who came into March looking for a deal worth more than $10MM per year. After Dontari Poe settled for a one-year deal with an $8MM base, a lucrative multi-year deal seems unlikely for Hankins, even though he’s younger.
So far, the incumbent Giants, Redskins, and Dolphins have been the only teams to be linked to Hankins. However, the Redskins have already made defensive line upgrades and the Dolphins’ interest might not be all that serious. Right now, all signs are pointing towards Hankins returning to the Giants, but their offer might have an expiration date.
I would love for Hankins to be back with the Giants on a one year ‘prove’ it deal. Will make him hungry and determined to play well. Also would reunite the entire starting front.
Hankins needs to understand that pro sports are a buisness and sometimes a players vaule is over or under estimated. If he plays well this year, again, and has a healthy season big money is in his future.
Take the offer and play with a chip on your shoulder. That’s my advice.
come on Colts. jump in on him
At this point, Hank will probably settle for $6M a year. If $4M is what the G-Men are offering him, he may feel personally insulted. Unfortunately for him, he’s in a bad position to negotiate. With the NFL draft looming in the background, low cost young talent will be there for the picking. 3 Technique is the NYG goal. Get what you need and keep what you can afford!
