On the surface, the chances of the Giants trading Strahan within the division seem to be remote at best. But, as the rumor goes, Strahan is prepared to be difficult in the locker room if the team won't let him leave.
The presumed motivation? Money. Strahan had a lot of it. Last month, he was ordered to give a lot of it to his ex-wife.
And the Redskins are always willing to overpay. Especially at a time when the free-agent market doesn't contain many high-end performers at the position.
For the Giants, moving Strahan could be a short-term curse but a long-term blessing. The team has been dysfunctional for several years, and the continued presence of guys like Strahan has not helped the situation. At all.
With TiVi Barber and LaVar Arrington and Luke Pet-a-goat already gone, it makes sense (in our view) to continue to clear out the chronic malcontents. Like Strahan. And Plaxico Burress. And Jeremy Shockey.
Strahan, 35, is under contract with the Giants for the next two seasons, at salaries of $4 million per year. He missed seven games due to injury in 2006. |
no strahan!! Not now! Not ever!
What is this madness even considering this. the Redskins have become the one-stop-shop franchise for the old, obsolete, and money-hungry-Im-bout-to-retire-so-lemme-get-a-big-contract-b4-I-flex athletes. Bruce Smith, Deion Sanders, Mark Brunell, Regan Upshaw, Mike Barrow are just a few names of the OLD and washed up. Then we get the not-so-old and washed up players in Adam Archuleta, S. Springs, Renaldo Wynn, Phillip Daniels, Jeremiah Trotter, Brandon Llyod, and then we traded our first round and thrid round picks in 2003 for the rights to Lavernaeus Coles, only to trade him to New York for Santana Moss.
BBt just to show you how far the rabbit hole goes, guess who got drafted by the Redskins at 15th overall right b4 Santana(16th overall in 2001).
Muth@fckin Rod Gardner!! So for three years the Skins waltz with stupidity, only to trade to get the player that we could have taken in the first fckin place!
Signing, or even thinking of adding, Strahan would be going back out on that dance floor to salsa with stupidity's cousin "
mental we-tall-dation!."
Lets say it together class, "If I think we should sign Strahan, 'I AM WE TALL DID'." If u can undserstand that then u know the Skins need a brisk course of action in a brave and different direction if we ever plan to turn things around.
