Osi Umenyiora is a no-show at Giants camp.

The Giants put Umenyiora on the reserve/did not report list today, the official designation for players who are holding out. That means Umenyiora is subject to fines of $30,000 a day until he reports.

Umenyiora’s decision is no surprise: He has grown increasingly unhappy with the seven-year, $42 million contract he signed in 2005, and we noted this week that he was expected to hold out.

Now he is holding out, and the question becomes whether the Giants trade him, whether he eventually reports without a new deal, or whether he and Giants G.M. Jerry Reese can follow owner John Mara’s advice and work things out man to man.
