He didn't report to camp and his agent told the Giants that the defensive end is thinking about calling it a career. http://www.nypost.com/seven/07282007/sports/giants/blue_bombshel_giants_paul_schwartz.htm?page=0

Michael Strahan holding the Giants up for money? Not Michael Strahan! He's always been such a good guy.spnited said:

I pray the Giants call his bluff.
There's not a more overrated player in the game than Strahan. Squawks an awful lot for a guy who has "led" a bunch of teams with the collectively rigid spine of a jellyfish.

Maybe he misses Tiki.
this type of stuff used to bother me as a fan but now I accept the fact that it's just business.
Strahan is trying to get some leverage to renegotiate. I think he did the right thing by not showing up. Say he was not 100 % yet or got hurt again. It would hurt is barganing position.

Amen. As spnited said, the Rice thing is a major eff-you to Michael Motormouth.
Here is Strahan's problem:
He is in the final year of a contrtact that willpay him opnmly about $4.5 million thi season.
Why? Because when he signed it he insisted on a large signing bonus up front and a front-loaded contract.
Now that Jeanne Strahan got a good chunk of that money, as well as the $3.2 million home in New Jersey AND spousal support... well, $4.5 mill just ain't gonna be enough for the poor little gap-tooth whiner, so he wants and extension.
He is, however, 35 years old, coming of a season that was almost completely lost to injury, and has never been viewed by Giants managemennt as the kind of leader he should have been as the star player of the defense.
So, they will pretty much say: play for $4.5 mill this year or retire..we don't care about you after this season anyway.

Brett Favre already gave him the single-season sack record. What more could Strahan want?
