8 million for one more year. He ain't that good anymore.

Strahan has got a lot of fire, if the giants organization can afford it, I say give it to him.

His play may not be worth 8 million but when you factor in the leadership he gives the defense and the drive that motivates the team he is definitely worth 8 million. I am pretty sure they have the extra 4 million in cap space they would need but they probably won't announce anything until the early pick rookies are taken care of.

The ripple effect. If you give him 8 mil, what do you give Osi? What do you say to their best D player ( Tuck )???6 would be fine for one year, any more and it is not worth it..Kiwanuka can back to his best position ( DE) and the new linebackers from the draft and DeOssie and Wilkerson can fight it out at LB...Reese is no fool and he is not going to give 8 mil to Strahan now.. There is an end to everything, guess if that is what it takes to get him back for one more year, then it is time to pack it in...

lol we aren't even in July yet and its started..

Greed

With so many athletes making more... sad to say it is a bargain. He is a leader and his passion motivates the defense to the next level. I would have left on top and finished my legacy as a superbowl champion., Unlikely if he returns that he wil finish nearly as well next year. The next year for the SB champ is always much harder..

His play was good enough all of last season to assist in the Giants making and winning the Superbowl. His presence on the field is always felt coupled with the experience quotient I say give it to him and let him ride into the sunset like the warrior that he is.

I say give the MFer the money.

He wants $8mil because his ex-wife will take at least $5mil of it.

The story says he gets $4mil, but his contract is for an average of $6.5, which undoubtedly was structured by him to get more upfront. He should be reminded of this by the Giants, who should then kick in another $1.5 to bring him even with Taylor.
where in the freaking article says that " HE WANTS" $8 millions....???
Besides he of any player deserves it!!! Come G-men dont turn on our players like other fans do!
Give him the damn money!

uhh, see ya...

Is this a Joke, or is he just the Joke... This is a rediculous request, he's a pass rusher, and not even that good at that anymore. Thats about 1mil a sack

I beg of you not to believe the story -- I am I is the man girlfirend plese dont turn on Strahan please he deserves the money , he has earned it....without him we would be nothing I tell you, nothing.

as a football fan I say tell him to bite it, BUT as a true BIG BLUE fan I say give it to him, by him saying it is his last year and winning the super bowl last season the stadium will be full for every home game and hell can you say repeat, I can, LETS GO GMEN.

Give him 6mil not 8 otherwise he can sit. He's still not going to show up for camp if you give him 8 that's why he's waiting to ask for it (just in case they do)
then he's going to play himself into football shape 3 to 4 games, which will increase his chance to get hurt or not immeadiately impact the team onfield. Remember last year was his only healty year in 3 years and even then he was in a rotation all game long. This will set a bad precedence with all the talented pass rushers we have and then everybody will be expecting the same type money.

Go Jr Nation............you are correct.
Can we say one more.......REPEAT

I believe we have a team capable of repeating but it would be hard to do it if we have to go on the road again ....

I see the G-MEN dominating the 2000's we will win 2 more SB in the next 6 years

We shall overcome -- Keep hope alive - We shall repeat!

Is this a Joke, or is he just the Joke... This is a rediculous request, he's a pass rusher, and not even that good at that anymore. Thats about 1mil a sack
