Osi Umenyiora might not look to renegotiate in '09
Talked to Tony Agnone, the agent for both Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora, about Strahan's decision to retire, as well as Osi's physical condition in the wake of surgery to repair cartilage in his left knee.
One interesting thing that Agnone said was that he didn't necessarily expect Umenyiora to ask to re-do his contract in the near term. You will remember that Umenyiora had wanted to re-work the deal, which has three years remaining on it, before this season. Ultimately, he decided not to when it was clear the Giants had no intention of renegotiating.
"We'll see," Agnone said, explaining that there was a good chance Umenyiora would play next year and then see about re-doing the deal after the '09 season. If he has a monster year, then he will look for a monster contract.
