Why do people keep saying we are losing Osi?

[VBGiantsFan]

There was an article in ESPN about this possibly being his last year. I've seen it on the boards here as well.

Isn't he still under contract?

Why are we "losing" him next year if he is signed for another year making ~$4 million?

He will be on his last year of a front loaded contract. I think he's making something like $3.5MM next year which is a far cry from the $8 to 10MM he was making a few years ago.</P>


Point is that he will whine, cry and very likely hold out until he gets a new contract or gets dealt. Chances are he will be dealt because we don't need that crap.</P>

I think giving him to the Texans for Mario Williams would be a great idea. Both want a new contract and Osi built better for the Texan's scheme, and Mario Williams is built better for ours.

As long as we can afford it...

[Joe Morrison]

Giants and Osi don't have any bargaining power to pull off any kind of deal, as good as he is he has only been on the field for 50% of the games this year.</P>


He will be back, no happy, but he will be back.</P>

It would be a great idea for us . . . not so great for the texans . . . . </P>

He is under contract for one more season but the organization should trade him or just release him to do whats right for Umenyiora ...

why?, he is in his contract year, he will play his butt off to make as much money as possible next year ... no way should we get rid of him ... we are in the drivers seat



we had the same debates in the summer ... everyone either wanted him gone or even those that didn't want him gone, were like, he's gone ... i was like, he ain't going anywhere b/c his agent will never find a team willing to part with a #1 pick and he can't hold out all season b/c his value would diminish greatly



now he is making big plays for us, so we won the game of chicken



i wouldn't have a problem if we maybe bumped him to $4MM and gave him some incentives to earn more, but the only catch is that then you set a predecent for any player that outplays his contract



and it works both ways, while Canty has started to earn his money as of late ... he certainly didn't last season and it's not like he wrote us a rebate check for under-performing



having Osi in a contract year is a great thing for us



finally i don't hold it against Osi for wanting more money, it's a brutal game and he has gotten banged up and is over 30 and while he is one of the best outside pass rushers in the game ... his value isn't nearly as high as you might think b/c of the age/injuries ... teams are basically looking to find the next Osi
