Andre Curtis - Def QC (Young guy)

Peter Giunta - Secondary/Cornerbacks (Previous DC of Rams SuperBowl team)

David Merritt - Secondary/Safeties (Young guy)

Bill Sheridan - Linebackers (Lots of college experience)

Mike Waufle - DLine (Tuck, Osi, Kiwi, Strahan, Cofield productive under him)
http://www.giants.com/team/coach.asp?coach_id=14

I'd consider any of these guys as legitimate candidates.

Just to brush up on league rules, could we have asked for permission to speak with any of these guys during the bye week? I thought I saw where a couple teams asked for permission to speak with Spags during the bye week and my recollection is that you can do this if it would be a promotion. I also seem to remember that it had to be one of the teams with a bye (thus, we couldn't ask to speak with McDermott). Anybody know the rules on this?
