"Demoff takes a hard stance on Aaron Donald..." Can you link an article that describes the stance Demoff is taking with AD?
"If we offered AD the money he is offering this year, last year he would be under contract." What did Demoff offer last year? And what is he offering this year?
"Thank god Snead stepped in and bailed him out on Tree and Austin." If Ogletree's contract is so bad why did the Giants give up a 4th and a 6th to pay it?
I'll bite on the Ogletree question.
First, the Giants are inheriting a better contract because we ate all of the pro-rated bonus money. So he does not cost $10M + for them.
Secondly, they're stupid! Ogletree is an ok player but I've long argued that he's overrated and not much above average. He's been a league leader in missed tackles for several years. That's not a quality a great player will have.
Given that he's merely average, he was highly overpaid when the Rams extended him and he's still overpaid now. My position is that the Giants will regret the trade. We were lucky to be able to undo that mistake by trading him.
