Giants tell Osi Umenyiora, agent they are no longer allowed to seek trade | NJ.com

Giants tell Osi Umenyiora, agent they are no longer allowed to seek trade

The window for the Giants to trade Osi Umenyiora has apparently closed.

The team informed the two-time Pro Bowl defensive end today he and his agent are no longer allowed to seek a trade partner, according to someone informed of the conversation between the two camps today.

...


The team's decision to take the trade off the table is a sign they're looking to nip this distraction in the bud, though it might only serve to further escalate Umenyiora's anger over his claim the Giants promised to restructure his contract. If so, that might speed up the process here and bring a suspension for "conduct detrimental to the team" in play.

Drafting Jason Pierre-Paul is looking like a better move for the Gmen every day.

Looks like NY has a circus on their hands this season. I still don't understand why NFL teams insist on keeping players that don't want to play for them anymore.

I guess it will depend how Osi acts. It may or may not be a circus, but once again, I just don't understand why these teams insist on keeping malcontents (and that includes the Skins last year).

sorry if this has already been addressed. Theres a million posts I'd need to read through, but how did we not get ryan harris? He signed a one year contract for the vet minimum with the eagles. We couldn't give him a three year 6 million dollar contract contract to be our backup? We could cut hicks and be done with that poop. He was drafted by shanny, and from what I understand did pretty well in our blocking scheme.

With health would you garuantee anything more than vet min? And it looks like everyone wants a shot at the Dream Team. We are "reloading," while they are blowing their wad.

tripple a years salary would make anybody coming off of a rookies salary take the money. These guys don't play very long. The ones that don't make millions every year don't always have the luxury of picking the team where their heart is. I didn't know health was a concern with him. If it is, I'd still risk it and give him two mil based off of his past success with shanny. Maybe his health concerns really are that bad, or have changed his level of play.

He is coming of knee surgery, it might not be a huge deal as he is expected to compete for a starting role in Philly. I think we have the cap space and need really, but Philly is the "place to be" right now. Shanny would be the best judge and it looks like he had some concerns. I have had my dose of Happy Pills and just waiting for the plan to unfold.

My bad nix the surgery thing but he did miss a bit of time with ankle issues last year.
