T-Rock's Take on the Giants

Not physically, but when it came to a price to pry the Hall of Famer from his Mediterranean beach chair and give him a Grecian Earn.

Although negotiations never came down to the nitty-gritty, Strahan's agent Tony Agnone said the two sides swapped ballpark figures and -- just like the Jets and Giants -- realized they were sharing a stadium. So what happened if it wasn't about the money?

"If he couldn't play at that 110 percent level that he had always played at, he wasn't going to play," Agnone said. "He was flattered and happy to have the opportunity to talk about it."

As for what possible role Strahan would have played on the Giants defense -- pass rush specialist, third-down sub -- it never came up. "If he was going to do it he was going to have to talk to Tom (Coughlin) before he decided," Agnone said.

Agnone said the more he and Strahan talked about a potential comeback this morning, the less intrigued he became. It would have been an adrenaline shot for him and the Giants for the first few weeks, sure, but this was a season-long commitment to make. "He wanted to help his comrades in arms," Agnone said. "We talked about if two months from now he could really still do it."

By the way, Agnone also reps Umenyiora and said Osi is doing well after his surgery. He expects to be running by February. Maybe the Giants will still be running by then, too.
