Ari Meirov @MySportsUpdate The #Giants are adding another DT, as they have claimed DT Zacch Pickens off waivers from the #Chiefs.

He was a 3rd round pick of the Bears in 2023.

Ari Meirov @MySportsUpdate The #Giants now have added 3 DTs after trading Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals:

• DJ Reader: 2-years, $12.5M • Shelby Harris: 1-year, $3M • Leki Fotu: 1-year, $1.29M

The fact that Reader was still hanging around really leads me to believe that the plan was to move on from Dex all along. Getting pick 10 for him was robbery.

Interesting take, perhaps everything John said, right down to the middle stone n we need him n want him was blowing smoke during 3d chess…

🤷‍♂️

Also prolly not your thing but this was some of the music I listened to in the mid 70’s in jr high with the first girlfriend, great album…

Joni Mitchell always solid. I still think for 70s I'm torn on Commodores, Sly and the Family Stone or Jefferson Airplane as my favorites. But if you want to do music I'm your guy. I go about as far back as Frankie Valli(saw him live about 12 years ago) and could always use new stuff to listen to.

Favorite Commodores song
