i Giants non offriranno un nuovo contratto a Strahan.
Citazione
The New York Giants are not going to renegotiate Michael Strahan's $4 million contract to persuade the seven-time Pro Bowl defensive end to stop mulling retirement and play this season.

"I don't want to get into negotiating in the media," co-owner John Mara said Wednesday as Strahan's holdout entered its sixth day. "He is under contract and I think you all know what our position is on that. I don't want to make any statements on that."


 
We'd like to have him come in. If he decided to come in, that's great. We will be a better team with him in here. If he doesn't, we'll move on. 
Giants co-owner John Mara

In his gut, Mara said he feels the 35-year-old Strahan would eventually decide to play, but he said the team was prepared to move on without him.


The Giants on Wednesday had veteran defensive end Simeon Rice in for a physical.

According to ESPN's Sal Paolantonio, a physical conducted by Giants physicians at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City revealed that Rice still has about two weeks of rehab left on his surgically repaired shoulder.

Giants general manager Jerry Reese plans to meet with Rice on Wednesday or Thursday, but no deal is imminent, a Giants official said.

Mara also downplayed a report that Strahan felt betrayed because the Giants were fining him $14,288 for each day of his holdout.

"He hasn't expressed that to us," said Mara, who said the team had no choice but to dock Strahan. "I'm not sure I believe that."

Strahan's surprising absence has dominated the training camp at the University at Albany since players reported on Friday.

The team knew the recently divorced veteran was looking for more money, but was stunned when his agent said he was mulling retirement.

Had the Giants known that the NFL single-season sack record holder was considering retirement, they might have made moves in the free-agent market or drafted differently in April.

"We would have liked to have gotten a little more notice," Mara said. "I understand the fact that he is just undecided about what he wants to do. Sometimes these things happen."

Mara insisted that the holdout has not been a distraction for a team trying to rebound from an 8-8 season that was good enough to get a playoff berth.

"I don't think any of us are that troubled by it," Mara said. "We'd like to have him come in. If he decided to come in, that's great. We will be a better team with him in here. If he doesn't, we'll move on."

Mara, who has known Strahan longer than coach Tom Coughlin and Reese, has not spoken with him in recent weeks. He said he might reach out and make a telephone call if the holdout continues, but noted that nothing he says will probably influence Strahan's decision. He said No. 92 has to make up his own mind.

Mara's biggest concern would be if Strahan missed a lot of training camp.

"That is something we are concerned about because I have noticed that players who come in late do run a higher risk of being injured," he said. "But he's a veteran. He has been around a long time and always has been in excellent condition. You would like to think that would not be the case with him."

Strahan missed half of last season with a foot injury.

Mara called Strahan one of the greatest players in Giants history and a surefire Hall of Famer. He added retiring now would not be the way to end his career, but he was prepared to accept it if Strahan left football after 14 seasons and 132½ career sacks.

"He has done too much for the franchise for me to be bitter about it," Mara said. "He has been a great player for a long time. These things happen."

Se dopo Barber ci mettiamo pure Strahan, è dura...veramente dura...a me Rice fa impazzire da sempre ma nn credo sia da considerare un pilastro per il futuro...dove, mi pare, ci stiamo sempre più incartando...

per il presente sarebbe un grande acquisto visto che oltre ad essere un fenomeno in campo è pure un leader fuori.

i Giants potrebbero essere interessati al rilasciato Trotter

Citazione
  .....several teams are likely to be interested in Trotter as a free agent. The best bet might be the Giants, where his former position coach, Steve Spagnuolo, is now the defensive coordinator.....
