Osi open to return, but there's a catch

Being a Pro Bowl player is sure a real badge of honor.

The rhetoric from Osi is a lot more mellow and toned down than what it used to be about this time of year. But if he wants to be a starter, let alone a pro-bowl player, he really ought to focus on getting better at stopping the run.l

Sorry Osi, you have work to be a Pro Bowler and commitment has been following you the way it followed Randy Moss, woulda, coulda, and shoulda will be your legacy! Get back on the exercise bike and dream!

Maybe no one will be a pro bowler next year.

We can but hope. I would expect this decision is somewhat tied to existing contracts. I think many players have Pro Bowl linked incentives in their contracts. If the Pro Bowl goes away, what happens then? Interesting situation.

That was always the problem between him and the Giants management, they were never happy about his run defense. This goes back years. He will play a few more years, but not with the Giants.

There will be the designation but no game

Just an All Pro...

Here is the catch Osi: The Giants are up against the cap now, Cutting Webster and Diel and Boley and possibly Canty and redong some contracts just gives them enough money to play their usual small, but often useful, FA signings. They are not going to give that money to you.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Osi would look great in Cowboy colors...especially if Spencer goes through free agency.

With the Boys going to the 4-3, Osi opposite to Ware would never see a double team...he could easily notch 10-13 sacks.

That might make too much sense for Jerry to pull off.

Time for the Giants to move on and get new blood. He's way past his prime and is terrible in run support, never was that good from the start. He has a hip injury that limits his ability to move laterally, it shows in film on run plays when he has edge containment.

oooooooooooooooooooh who cares????????????????
