I think these writers just write stuff to hear themself think. I also heard buy someone at FOX who has talked to Strahan everyday the past two weeks said Strahan IS NOT looking for a new deal. He also said Strahan was disapointed that the Giants are making this look like all he wants is a new contract when in fact he just does not know if he wants to play or retire. Its hard to tell who is telling the truth.

The Danny may have upped the price on Leonard Davis & the pokes paid him 18.5 mil in bonus $.
Maybe the Danny, intentionally or not, is driving the price up on Strahan. I hope!

What price? Strahan is contemplating retiring, not searching around for a new team.

The thing is, when there were rumors of the Skins trading for Strahan in the offseason, guys like Merrill Hoge were talking about how Strahan would instantly make the Skins D legit.

If they were hell bent on going after a defensive end, I'd rather them look for situational help.

Rice > Strahan

LOL......................


You guys want him you can have him!The Skins are the best retirment plan the Giants have ,need I go and start naming players from NY to Wash?
Look he has'nt played a full season for us in 2 years and his wife took him to the cleaners ,he's coming off a serous foot injury and we don't know if he's healthy or not,and most of all do you really think the Giants will let him go inside the divison.....remember he's still under contract.

Everyone was saying that Rice is over the hill and his best days have past. Well Michael Strahan is old and washed up. Why would we sign a guy that is 4 years older then Rice. Synder is an idiot, he is killing this team. I would go after Alex Brown or Rice before I would go after Strahan. The possibility of signing Strahan reminds me a lot of when we signed

Barrow, Armstead, Trotter, Deion Sanders, Dan Wilkinson, Dana Stubblefield, Duckett, Brunell, Brad Johnson, Larry Centers, David Patten, Andre Reed, Troy Vincent, Mike Rumph, Matt Bowen, Trung Canidate, Laveranues Coles, Jeff Posey, Lloyd, Randel El,

Believe me Strahan will fit on this list of under acheivers--over paid players that Snyder brought in.

Here's a list of guys we could have made a move for this year.

Darwin Walker, Kris Jenkins, Tank Johnson, Corey Simon, Alex Brown, Kevin Carter, Ian Scott

Why for Godsake will we go after him!!!!!!! If the Gmen don't want him why do we? We will pay up the qazoo for a guy who will give us maybe one decent year if that. If we should have gone for anyone it should have been Rice. Strahan's tank is empty, Rice still has something left to give. Can you say Dana Stubblefield?!!!!!!!

[skinsfan_nn]

Alright now let's definitely not get your panties in a ruffle over this one......ole GAPPY is NOT landing in DC, NO WAY! BS RUMOR, WON'T HAPPEN!

Earthquake - your post about sums up the mess of our FO decision making. Not only have the Skins hurt their cap with these signings, but we throw away a lot of picks to get these "valuable / key" players and we also let go of a lot of our own key free agents.

One other thing people forgot to mention relating to Strahan - hasn't Gibbs and Williams been defending the defensive line for the past month saying we believe in these guys and were sticking with them this year when asked by the media why they didn't draft any defensive lineman? So basically Gibbs and Williams were lying and have no faith in their defensive lineman as soon as Strahan gets his name thrown out by the media as a possible player that can be acquired? If this is true it means that the coaches probably don't have too much faith in the defensive line and that makes me worry that this is not going to be a season to remember as far as the Defense is concerned.

Like the majority of the posters say - no more old, beat up players looking for bejamins. Give your defensive lineman a chance to prove themselves like you said they deserve - and if things fall apart repair them next offseason.

I never liked Gappy for that whole Brett Favre thing. Please somebody break the single season sack record.
