Osi had a good year last year, but stunk the year before and was benched. The thinking may have been he was dogging it in 2009. So he collected his $6,000,000 in ’09 for doing nothing. He can be a terror on the outside pass rush (6 sacks in one game vs the Eagles) but last year was the first time I ever saw him stop the run. If he’s discontented he won’t play hard, so the Giants are either going to have to give him a raise or trade him. I’d think a lot of teams would want him.

I love the G-Men, but his 6-sacks was a tainted stat – it was against a decimated Eagles O-line…and he was lining up against reserve Winston Justice. Plus, he had Strahan on the other side drawing double coverage.

He doesn’t deserve the cash for his lack of consistency. Send him to St. Louis – reunite with Spags – and line him up opposite Chris Long. Give us a 2nd. and a conditional 4th in 2013 (can move up with incentives.

If he thinks he holds the cards when the Giants have Tuck, Pierre-Paul and Kiwanuka lined up, he’s nuts. He’s a very good player, but with the reduced cap, very good players have been cut with that salary figure, let alone get a bigger deal.

Dear Osi,

Stop your bitchin! You’re not half the player Michael Strahan was….or Justin Tuck is…..or Jason Pierre-Paul will be! You will not get 6 mill a year in this market.

Giants – let him hold out. When he comes back, collect his fines, then cut him!!

I’m as pro union as they come. Hell, I was hoping the Players would vote down the CBA and let the anti-trust lawsuit go foreward.

However, when you sign a contract you MUST abide by it (both sides). Someone hold a gun to your head? If not, you signed it, you abide by it.

There should be no allowance for holding out because you don’t like a contract that you signed.

I thought he lost his starting job last year…

As a huge Giants fan this makes me sad. 42 mil 7 year is 6 mil a year yea that’s not enough!! Seriously Osi get a grip did last years stats deserve a raise? He has a year left he’s just scared his value will go down before this contract is up. These players are so dam greedy it’s sickening! Take a walk Osi we got JPP ready to step up!

30,000 a day ? X 7 = 210,000. X 1 month would be about 840,000. He won’t last that long.
