Osi Umenyiora Is the New York Giants' No. 1 Priority This Offseason

happy reading

I impact null but the limit attitude for Jerry Reese. I screamed approval at him as his process move began its andante creeping downbound the Canyon of Heroes. But it's instance for him to blink, modify the finish and clear Osi Umenyiora what he deserves.

Reese evidenced his courage terminal assemblage by letting Steve Smith, Kevin Boss and Barry Cofield walk, patch language a haphazard footballer titled king Baas and whatever punter titled Steve Weatherford. 

In the meantime, the "Dream Team" in metropolis was stockpiling canopy obloquy and media attention. 

But become February, confetti was raining downbound upon the New royalty Giants who were Super Bowl champions again.

Reese showed his GM skills in his prototypal assemblage with the Giants, craft a key presenter to the 2007 Super Bowl title with every heptad picks.

Aaron doc (Round 1) started at crossway in the playoffs and prefabricated 42 tackles during the season.

Steve adventurer (Round 2) prefabricated the key endeavor on the Giants' test touchdown intend that module ever be forgotten. Two plays after Tyree's undignified grownup on the helmet, adventurer grabbed a 3rd-and-11 transfer brief of the prototypal down, concentrated himself along the distinction and live toward the first-down symbol for a 12-yard gain. Next play: Plaxico Burress' game-winning touchdown grab.

Jay Alford (Round 3) sacked blackamoor moneyman on the New England Patriots' test drive, leaving them with 3rd-and-20 at their possess 16-yard distinction and 19 seconds left.

Zak DeOssie (Round 4) is ease with the Giants and is a sure daylong favour and primary teamer.

Kevin Boss (Round 5) not exclusive prefabricated everyone in New royalty block Jeremy Shockey modify existed, but he unsealed the ordinal lodge of that Super Bowl with a 45-yard grownup and separate that sparked the Giants' prototypal touchdown drive.

Tackle cristal Koets (Round 6) and country archangel President (Round 7) were valuable, if forgettable, rookie contributors in 2007.

And of course, there's the Giants' underway play streaming back, Ahmad Bradshaw, condemned with the 250th garner (a compensatory garner in the ordinal round) discover of Marshall. Among his some rookie highlights was the 88-yard touchdown haste against metropolis that catapulted the Giants into the playoffs.

So, that existence said, I respectfully defer to Reese's organisation expertise. Please organisation the prizewinning contestant acquirable on the board. It's innocuous to feature Giants fans are doing backflips that Reese designated Jason Pierre-Paul in 2010.

Each constituent that Reese makes to the aggroup seems to attain a meaning contribution.

But the most essential pick the Giants crapper attain this offseason could become before the organisation begins. And that is language Umenyiora to a long-term contract.

Umenyiora is currently artefact into the test flavour of a care he subscribed in 2005, and is regular to attain meet low $4 meg this year. blackamoor Coughlin wants him back, and every Giants follower should too. But Umenyiora wants to bonded a long-term care for a mart rate, and claims he was promised this by Reese. 

Umenyiora went so farther as to allow his grievance as conception of the just causa filed by the players organization terminal flavour (hey, advert the lockout?).

Umenyiora claimed that he and Reese united in 2008 that if he was ease activity at a broad take in 2010, he would impact his lessen renegotiated to be in distinction with the top-five maximal stipendiary antitank ends, or be traded to a aggroup that would clear him at that take (similar to the franchise-tag clear grade).

When Umenyiora pressed Reese on this issue, Reese told him he was an honest, churchgoing man, and wouldn't lie. I conceive Reese. But I also conceive Umenyiora. So unless Reese obstructed feat to church, he should stop up his modify of the bargain.

Umenyiora apparently played at a broad take in 2010, since he ordered a azygos flavour achievement with 10 unnatural fumbles. He was also a obligate downbound the debase terminal year, including in the disjunctive ammo of the playoffs, providing a strip-sack on ballplayer composer who was most to impact a wide-open Greg Jennings for a TD.

The fearsome Giants D-line is a title blueprint, and the parts duty as a unit. Justin Tuck and JPP crapper exclusive be as trenchant as they are when utilised as conception of a rotation.

Umenyiora has fresh expressed he doesn't "like existence a backup," but would you poverty a contestant who did poverty to be a backup? Umenyiora is desperately noise his brand to essay and intend a much-deserved clear raise. 

Considering the carload of money that Mario reverend got this offseason (not to name the large lessen Julius Peppers has), the Giants should encounter a artefact to intend a some meg more for Umenyiora.

According to this list, octad antitank ends module attain over twice the turn that Umenyiora is slated to be paid. The Giants are modify stipendiary Chris Canty 50 proportionality more than Umenyiora! 

The Giants cannot clear Umenyiora gaudy, Elvis Dumervil-type figures.  But he has at small attained the manner of activity with pact of mind, so if he gets his articulatio pronounceable into his occupation won't be over without ever earning a market-rate payday.

While container expanse is an supply for the Giants, Reese has restructured numerous deals already this offseason, and a clean re-signing should be viable for Umenyiora. He needs to intend paid.

And add to that the fact that the Giants requirement Umenyiora. With Dave Tollefson outgoing for the metropolis Raiders (he didn't poverty to be a patronage either), the Giants cannot give to change absent Umenyiora and wish to change both transfer rushers from the draft. 

Even agitated jock Kiwanuka from back to antitank distinction would yield them short-handed in the turning on the D-line, and consequently, at back too.

Despite the re-signing of Chase Blackburn and the change for Keith Rivers, Kiwanuka's plasticity provides the Giants with a versatility that's rattling arduous to plot against. Why attain him one-dimensional again?

Plus the linebacking corps was so anorectic terminal year, they subscribed Blackburn soured the couch. Luckily for them, the science pedagogue was healthy to attain a pivotal interception in the Super Bowl 50 yards downbound field.

The Giants staleness preserves the D-line so they crapper pore on invigorating another requirement areas. Is Rivers rattling the organisation if Jonathan Goff signs elsewhere?   

If it ain't broke, don't mend it. Keep Kiwanuka where he is, clear Umenyiora and ready the instruction of that violent antitank distinction led by Tuck, JPP and Umenyiora. Because if not, Umenyiora module be same commode essay in a open restroom: sorely uncomprehensible when it's gone.
