The Giants offer Osi incentive-laden deal on Friday

Osi Umenyiora should be back on the practice field with the Giants come Monday. Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys
But the soap opera between he and the team isn't quite over yet. There are still contract discussions to handle but it appears, as our own Clark Judge suggested recently, that the Giants are going to wise up get him some cash for finally coming in.

Unfortunately for Osi, though, it doesn't appear that they're willing to give as much as Clark suggested. Per Jason LaCanfora of the NFL Network, the Giants offered Osi a new incentive-laden deal on Friday that features "a range of $400,000 to $1 million in new money" dependent on production and incentives.

LaCanfora does note that Osi still prefers to be traded and has yet to accept any offers from the Giants. According to the report, Osi would need to finish in the top 10 of several defensive categories and time spent on the field. Clearly, the requirements for those incentive clauses are going to primarily dictate whether or not Osi accepts the contract. at best price and high quality.

If he has to finish in the top 10 for sacks and forced fumbles while playing 10 games to unlock $1 million, and there aren't any poison-pill clauses in the deal, he might take it. Or at least consider taking it.

But unless it's good, don't be shocked if he passes and keeps pushing for a deal somewhere or a new, long-term deal. After all, there still plenty of teams that might be interested in Osi if the Giants actually drop their asking price. Meaning: the drama might not be over just quite yet. Supply with different styles and sizes.

Drew remember Osi said the Giants promised him a new deal after they won the Super Bowl provided he put together 2 good years in a row. Then he missed the 2008 season and played primarily in as a situational and 3rd down player in 2009 as he recovered from the surgery and the knee problems. He did come back and have a monster year last year but that would've been in the 3rd year.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to Osi getting paid a little but the reality is that he sees the writting on the wall. He knows that he probably won't have another monster year like that again and he wants to strike while the iron's hot. But from a business standpoint I see what the Giants are doing. Hopefully he'll take the incentive laden contract they're offering and he has another big season then we can trade him during the Pittsburgh Steelers Jersey
off season because everyone knows he'll never be happy here.

Did anyone else notice that Steve Smith, after he signed with the eagles said the same thing, Reese promised him a new contract. First off he was a free agent and secondly, he's hurt! I don't care who you are no team is going to offer a contract to a player that is hurt without knowing whether they'll play again unless it's for insurance purposes.That's the only reason the eagles signed him as insurance for Macklin.It is composed by pittsburghsteelersjerseyshopcom 09.16.2011
