We have Snee for another 6 years...
He was signed to a 6 year deal for about 43.5 million. Wow, it is a lot of money for offensive lineman. The Giants guarantee that the line will remain together for another 6 years. I believe it was a smart move. We won the Super Bowl with this line. Maybe, he got all that money for being a son-in-law to Coughlin. At least, Tom will be getting some good XMAS presents.
The Giants cut J-Load
Jared Lorenzen had many nicknames. He was knows as J-Load, Hefty Lefty, and the Pillsbury Throw Boy. He had almost as many nicknames as snaps. It's hard to believe he lasted 4 years with us as the 3rd QB.
Besides being a likable guy, he was a big boy. He was listed as 6' 4" and 285. It took a lot to bring him down. Last year, he had 4 passes for 28 yards.
Good bye J-Load........

Good Bye... Michael Strahan
Can we forget that gap-toothed smile. It is Michael Strahan's trademark in the NFL besides being a great DE. I am very surprized and sad that he is retiring. I thought we had him for another year. I must remind myself he is 36 and gave us 7 Pro Bowls. 15 years in the NFL. Some people don't last that long in a normal job. You guessed right. He gave his notice for retirement last week. Maybe he wants more than 8 million to play but I think he wants to retire in style.
He has a "Hall of Fame" resume.
He has a "Hall of Fame" resume.
- 141 1/2 career regular sacks. He did end up beating LT.
- 9 1/2 sacks his rookie year. Really
- 216 NFL games.
- 22 1/2 sacks in 2001. Sack record that year.
- 18 1/2 sacks in 2003. He was the only Giants player to twice lead the league in sacks.
- 7 Pro Bowls
- He sacked 64 QBs.
- Philly's McNabb was scaked 12 1/2 times by him.
- New York Giants all-time total sack leader.
He is retiring at the top of his game. Going out in style........

Tyree's life before and after the catch....
He will be famous for the catch in Super Bowl XLII. Before the catch, we knew he had some special skills. He proved we can count on him. I always thought he was good. He had a good game on Super Bowl Sunday. He will be known for making a great catch.
By the way, he is known as one of the most charitable players in the NFL. He is involved in alot of charities.

Super Bowl RIngs...
At a private ceremony at Tiffany & Co., the precious rings were given out. It's said the rings are valued at 25K. I saw a picture of them. The rings are very nice. Strahan was showing off his ring. Maybe this means he will be at training camp.
