Brian Kelly Leaves Without Signing

The Giants met with former Tampa Bay cornerback, Brian Kelly, today. However, Kelly has reportedly left without a contract. It is possible that the Giants offer him a contract later on, but it's unlikely.

That's fine with me. No disrespect to Mr. Kelly. From all I hear he's a great guy, but he's played in a Cover 2 scheme for his ENTIRE pro career. I'm all for adding in the vets for experience and the not-so-flashy roleplayers, but to me, Kelly just doesn't fit our scheme. He was never known for being fast even in the Cover 2, so I'm glad I don't have to watch him try to cover Patrick Crayton or Antwan Randle-El twice a year. On top of that, we already have Sam Madison to fill the player-coach role for the younger CBs.

I wish Brian the best of luck finding a job. Just not on the Giants...
