WHAT?
The man has the all time single season sack record...he is the current leader in sacks for those still playing.
While I do think New York players get a lot of attention, Strahan, whether in Seattle or Green Bay would get the same amount.
That being said, we'd be dumb to sign him. He hasn't really been the same since he had 18.5 sacks in 03...in 04 he got injured (forgot what he injured) and has only had 18.5 sacks in 04, 05, and 06 COMBINED. (33 games).
He's old, and any player that has played his entire career (14 seasons not including this year) with one team and wants to leave at the last minute doesn't care about the team he is going to. He cares about himself.
No thanks.
