"think will see redo (trade less likely) for osi in few wks," Dottino tweeted (https://twitter.com/#%21/giantswfan/status/180440953683853312) in response to a question about Osi's
status.</p></blockquote>
As recently as late February, Umenyiora had been vocal about his desire to
remain with the Giants – a far cry from his feelings following the NFL (http://www.giants101.com/tag/nfl/) Lockout when
he demanded a trade or significant pay increase.</p>
<blockquote>
“You know what’s so funny?” Umenyiora said (http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2012/02/tom_coughlin_giants_havent_had.html). “If it came down to me taking less to stay
here, I would.”</p></blockquote>
Due to earn a base salary of $3.975 million in 2012, Osi undoubtedly would
still prefer a raise. And after watching Mario Williams haul in $100 million for
six-years ($50 million guaranteed), there's got be some Benjamin's dancing in
his head. Still, winning cures all and that's exactly what happened in 2011.
Whether or not the good feelings continue to carry over … well, that remains to
be seen.</p>
In nine games last season, Umenyiora made 25 tackles, collected nine sacks
and forced two fumbles. He added nine tackles, 3.5 sacks and forced an
additional fumble in the playoffs.</p>
He is in the final year of his current contract."</p>
