Osi Umenyiora has some set.
Thinking he can hold out on the remaining two years of his contract when the New York Football Giants have as much firepower at defensive end as they do seems ludacris to me.
The remaining $8 million over two years may not be worthy of his talent, but in a year where every team (including the Giants) seems strapped for cash, Osi picked a bad year to prolong his own personal lockout from the G-Men.
Combine that with the fact that the Giants already have great defensive ends in Justin Tuck, Mathias Kiwanuka and 2010 first round pick Jason Pierre-Paul, and I can't find a compelling reason to expand and extend the contract of a nine year veteran with knee problems.
If I'm the Giants, my focus is on five positions. Linebacker, running back, offensive line, wide receiver and tight end, in that order.
As you can see, I left out defensive line. If I'm Jerry Reese and John Mara, Osi Umenyiora is the least of my concerns. For all I care he can go sit on a warm sandy beach and sip fruity cocktails with little pink straw hats.
LB, RB, OL, WR, TE.
