Fellow FanHouser Tom Mantzouranis took little time after Osi Umenyiora tore his knee to wonder if the Giants would try to lure Michael Strahan out of retirement.The Giants have lost their top two defensive ends from last year and could be tempted to ask Strahan if he'd come back.
According to one source, Strahan could be coaxed out of retirement if the price is right:
"If the Giants make a sincere overture, it's a good chance that Strahan would consider coming back," the source said, according to the Daily News. "There are other things he has to take into consideration: the money and his contract with Fox."
Strahan currently holds a position at Fox Sports as an NFL studio analyst.
"But if the Giants really want him, they have a shot," the source said. "It's not out of the question."
Giants co-owner Steve Tisch says that they'd be stupid to not at least gauge Strahan's interest in playing. Strahan, who is in Greece vacationing, told NFL Network that he has heard about Umenyiora's injury but hasn't heard from the Giants.
Oh ... and according to the Daily News, "nicely" means "$8 million".
