Giants Look To Strahan

The New York Giants and Super Bowl Champ and Ex-Giant Michael Strahan have begun discussions about Strahan coming back to play another season with the Giants after teammate Osi Umenyiora went down with damage in his left knee.

A team official called and talked to Strahan, 36, who retired in the offseason after helping lead the Giants to a Super Bowl championship, a source close to the seven-time Pro Bowler told the New York Daily News.

The paper had previously reported Strahan would come back with the Giants if offered an $8 million contract for this season, according to a source close to Strahan.

The Daily News later reported several of Strahan's friends said Monday that his interest in talking about a possible contract is genuine, but that he may seek as much as $12 million for this season.

"But if the Giants really want him, they have a shot," a source said. "It's not out of the question."

"If the Giants make a sincere overture, it's a good chance that Strahan would consider coming back," one of the sources said, according to the Daily News. "There are other things he has to take into consideration: the money and his contract with Fox."
